Dear Dasikajl, I think we usual worship goddess Mahalakshmi on either Fridays or on Tuesdays this is the first time i am noticing few worship her on Mondays!
hi yes u r right even it was new to me when i heard it the first time.but i am sure i heard it right that it should be done on mondays only but i heard it on tv when the show almost came to an end. so i had a doubt whether the same coins should be used every week or different once and i also wanted to know the sankalpam procedure regards jaya
Sister Dasikajl SAIRAM, since I too haven't heard about Mahalakshmi worship on Mondays, trying to gather information but can I understand if someone specifically told you to do this worship for some purpose, if yes why don't you get the procedure from them. If you have just overheard, then I feel it must be for someone according to their stars and horoscope, then please do Goddess worship on Tuesday or Friday. This is just my thoughts, SAIRAM
sairam diddi actually it is a devotional program the host gives remedies at the end of the program. so i heard it that day about this 7 mondays pooja.. thank you very much for replying. sairam

I don't know about monday but she is worshipped for wealth on thursday in many homes and to worship lakshmi thursday is said to be apt too. and i worship her as separate lakshmi on pournamis. other days i take sankalpam as her being part of my srichakram.- amma. Not sure if you have heard but for wealth and financial problems, long back when i had a chance meeting with a vaishnavite uncle, he told me about this temple in arasarkoil near chengelpet for Kamala varadaraja perumal sametha sundara maha lakshmi where goddess is the aadi moola lakshmi and has blessed the akaya patra. google for more details. for the 108 coins, you can read the mahalakshmi ashtotrams. do the suddi to the coins every time you use them. the proper procedure is to first pray to the ganapathi (as in any pooja) and then lakshmi. (I use 108 flowers for lakshmi and 300 flowers for sri maa tripurasundari..in silver, and i used to use 1 re coins earlier. you can keep it in your pooja or your safe after the pooja is done) We usually do a dampatti/couples pooja when doing the satyanarayana pooja elaborately. on other times, giving thamboolam to any neighbour/relative. if you can giving food to a couple is nice. i prefer feeding people who are real hungry.
