Four pathways for the Diwali week — choose according to your spiritual stage and material aspirations.
Labh Muhurat & Havan:
Mahalakshmi Havan with Kamal Gatte
Perform Mahalakshmi Havan during Labh Muhurat using Kamal Gatte (lotus seeds).
Rule: Use equal quantity of Kamal Gatta as your Havan Samagri. Example — if you prepare 1 kg Havan Samagri, add 1 kg Kamal Gatta.
Idol Placement:
Avoid keeping idols during Diwali Puja if daily rituals will not be continued after Diwali. Once installed, idols require daily care, lighting, and offering. Those who can maintain rituals daily may proceed with the full traditional Puja.
For Siddhi Sadhaks (not actively recommended):
Those walking the Siddhi or Mantra Sadhana path may chant the Navarn Mantra.
Take a proper Sankalp before beginning. Example: “I will complete 11,000 / 21,000 Navarn Mantra Jaap during Diwali week.” You may include a Havan using the same mantra for deeper Shakti activation.
Material Benefit Seekers
- Mahalakshmi Mantra Havan for wealth and prosperity.
- Ganesha Mantra Havan for removing blockages and ensuring success.
Muslims may do Surah Fatiha and Surah Ikhlas.
