Welcome To Vedic Temple Of Virginia (SatyaNarayana Temple)

Vedic Temple of Virginia - SRI SATAYANARAYANA SWAMY SEVA SANNADHI.

Satya Narayan is the Narayan form of Lord Vishnu. The Lord in this form is considered an embodiment of truth. Satyanarayana is worshipped commonly by Hindus in their homes with family and friends, usually on a full moon (purnima) day of the month. In this puja called Satyanarayana Pooja, people worship by reciting the gracious story of Lord Satyanarayana. This story was originally told by Lord Vishnu himself to the sage Narada for the benefit of humankind.
