🌸 Once in many years, when the sacred Friday of Varalakshmi Vrat coincides with Sawan Purnima and the two sisters, Mahalakshmi Kolhapur & Maa Tuljapur Bhavani come together, offer to both at once.
When we seek only prosperity in life, it may come but not stay. When we seek only strength, it may come, but peace may remain elusive. Lasting wealth, unwavering courage, protection from enemies, harmony in the family, and inner fulfilment are traditionally sought when the blessings of both divine sisters come together.
Elder sister Shri Ambabai Mahalakshmi is revered as the Goddess of prosperity, grace and liberation. Younger sister Maa Tulja Bhavani is revered as the Goddess of strength, courage and victory over negative forces. And today, on this rare Varalakshmi Vrat–Purnima conjunction, Chadhava will be offered in your name at both sacred Shaktipeethas during the same auspicious Muhurat.
🤔 Why Is This Occasion So Rare? Three Sacred Energies Come Together Today:
First, Varalakshmi Vrat: The Skanda Purana is traditionally cited for the belief that offerings made during Varalakshmi Vrat carry the spiritual significance of worshipping Ashta Lakshmi.
Second, Friday: The sacred day associated with Maa Mahalakshmi. Shukra is traditionally associated with wealth, prosperity, and beauty.
Third, Sawan Shukla Purnima: The concluding and highly sacred day of Lord Shiva’s holy month. Purnima is the Tithi when the Moon is traditionally believed to manifest in its complete sixteen Kalas, making it an especially auspicious time for spiritual practice.
This rare conjunction of Varalakshmi Vrat, Sawan Purnima, and Friday does not occur every year. Make the most of this auspicious occasion by seeking the blessings of both Maa Mahalakshmi and Maa Tulja Bhavani!
🛕 Offer at Both Shaktipeethas from Home with the Sri Mandir App:
Kolhapur and Tuljapur are located in different districts of Maharashtra, making it practically impossible for a devotee to visit both sacred Shaktipeethas and offer Chadhava on the same day and during the same Muhurat. Through the Sri Mandir App, you can have Chadhava offered at both sisters’ temples from home, in your name. Purohitji at each temple will take your Sankalp and perform the Chadhava according to proper rituals. Video of the Chadhava ritual from both Shaktipeethas will be provided within 24–48 hours.
🙏Seek both the prosperity of Maa Mahalakshmi and the strength of Maa Tulja Bhavani - Participate in the Chadhava at both divine Shaktipeethas!
