Significance of Satyanarayan Pooja is celebrated whenever you want to eat the good Prasad and whenever you want to remember the Gods. There is no fixed clan, community or gender or reservation of rights for performing this Pooja. Hence this Pooja became so popular in early times.

Satyanarayan Pooja benefits and celebrates the winning of the battles of truth over falsehood. The name of this good is a combination of two powerful words of Hindu scriptures- “Satya” and “Narayan” are two words which when added together form the word Satyanarayan. Satya means truth and Narayan is the Vishnu form that is said to have been the saviour once.

In short in one word the Satyanarayan Puja benefits just by knowing and worshipping the truth. Truth above everything else in this world is revered and worthy of worship. Truth alone is the protector from Evil. Truth alone is the benefactor when you are surrounded by Evil. If you are true, Evil cannot harm you since you would be protected by the Protector himself or herself.

This is the hidden importance of Lord Satyanarayan Pooja. This Puja vidhi was promulgated by Lord Narada for the people on Earth and has been deemed fit to be practiced in every Yuga, even in the darkest period of Kali Yuga.

Basically, this is the Lord’s promise, which if you are true; none other than Narayan or the power of Vishnu will save you from all perils and dangers.

So the word is beautiful for you to behold. Since the first part of the word mentions the condition you need to follow to win and in the next half of the word, you understand who would save you if you are truthful.

You can see condition (clause) leading to the result (fruit) in just one word.

It is indeed hard to manage the condition (clause) since being truthful is difficult, almost impossible in today’s world.

But, if you can manage to follow the truth you will be saved by the mightiest hidden power of the Universe- Lord Sri Vishnu himself.

To conclude on the benefits of performing Satyanarayan Puja and the importance of Satyanarayan Pooja, we can say that if you are not into the social external customs since you fail to understand them, then you can try to find out the deeper meanings of every ritual, prayer and worship since each and every single ceremony or ritual is designed in such a way that it satisfies the selfish ego as well as the eternal truth.

The external truth satisfying humans is- this ceremony was started at a time when people were dying of hunger, most importantly from lack of nutrition. Eating good fruits and especially dry fruits saved human life immensely. You might have heard poor people say that after eating the Prasad they slept peacefully. It is due to the fact that this supplied them invaluable nutrition that led to a good sleep.

The internal significance of Lord Satyanarayan Pooja is the worship of truth in every single day would bring protection on your way. Protection from everything, protection from the real harsh world and that protection is given to you by the Lord Vishnu himself.
