I'd like to go (to temple) this coming Saturday @ 4pm for the puja, if the day doesn't turn to poopies, as my weekends tend to. http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif Does one fast, or is this information "over the top"?
Satyanarayan Puja - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyanarayana_Puja#Puja_.28Prayer.29_Vidhi_.28performing_method.29)
Puja (Prayer) Vidhi (performing method)
The Satyanarayan Puja is performed in reverence to the Narayan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narayan) form of Lord Vishnu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu). The Lord in this form is considered an embodiment of truth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth).
Performing this puja in the evening is considered more appropriate. However one can do it in the morning as well. On the day of the puja, the devotee has to fast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting). After bathing the person can begin the puja.
