Lord SatyaNarayana

Lord SatyaNarayana is another form of Lord Vishnu who is commonly worshipped by Hindus, usually on a full moon day of the month.  The Satyanarayana Puja is a religious worship of the Hindu god Vishnu. Satya means “truth” and narayana means, “The highest being”, so Satyanarayana means “The highest being who is an embodiment of Truth”. This puja is first mentioned in Skanda Purana, Reva Kanda by Suta Puranik to the rishis in Naimisharanya.  Hindus perform Sri Satyanarayana puja or Vratam for the divine blessings of health, wealth, prosperity, education; relief from troubles and sickness. Hindus believe that repeatedly chanting the name of Sri Satyanarayana or Lord Vishnu with love while listening to the Satyanarayana Katha or moral stories can help one lead a righteous life.

About Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums, called mums or chrysanths are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Chrysanthemum comes from Greek word 'Chrys' meaning golden (the color of the original flower), and 'anthemon', meaning flower.  Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC. These flowers are commonly known as Sevantige in Kannada, Chamanthi in Telugu and Samanthipoo in Tamil.  The Chrysanthemum flower symbolizes fidelity, optimism, joy and long life. Chrysanthemum blooms come in 140 varieties of shapes and sizes and also in a wide range of colors. Chrysanthemum flavored tea is very popular and is used as a relaxant.
