Why do we Hindus perform Satnarayan Katha at home?

Satnarayan Katha is the religious discourse on Lord Satnarayan – Sat is Truth and Narayan is Lord Vishnu. Thus Sat is God or Truth is Vishnu. Satnarayan Katha is performed at homes occasionally or full moon days. It is believed that conducting Satnarayan Katha and observing fast on the day will protect a person from suffering and sorrow. The religious discourse consists of a series of stories which inspires those listening to lead a truthful life. The stories indicate that when Truth is ignored, the person suffers. While performing Satnarayan Katha at home, neighbors, friends and relatives are invited and are given food. By feeding the poor and needy on the day and observing fast one prepares oneself to attain liberation or Moksha.

Sadhguru Quotes

Technology is not only about gadgetry but about arranging our lives in a way that the survival process is handled effortlessly and there is time and space to explore other aspects and dimensions – which would not be possible if we were fully occupied with survival. If your perception is changing at different times of your life, clearly what you did yesterday or how you saw life yesterday was a mistake. What you are doing now seems to be the right thing to you, but this can change anytime. What you do today may seem like a mistake tomorrow, and what you do tomorrow will might seem to be the right thing. So, there is a mistake in the way we perceive life. When this gets corrected, people think you are a mystic because you are beginning to perceive life in a way that you cannot fit in logic; it is way beyond logic. Logic is just a small part of your life – you can never fit life into it. You can fit logic into your life but never life into logic. Sadhguru
