If there is a time which is dearer to Lord Vishnu or Lord Narayana, it is the Vishnupati time. It is a very sacred time and offering prayers during this time brings incredible material blessings. It diffuses your ego and helps you to attract right people and right things into your life.

Vishnupati is the day for total immersion into Vishnu Devotion. It is the time when Lord Vishnu performed miraculous deeds for the benefit of the universe. His boundless compassion is much more accessible than usual at this time.

Vishnupati 2012 provides a great chance for redemption. People who practice dirty politics in office have a chance for wiping out their bad karma during this Vishnupati. So irrespective of what you have been till now, Vishnupati provides a panacea to redeem yourself and to move forward.

The word 'Vishnu' means 'enter into'; hence Lord Vishnu is the one who pervades the entire Universe. As per the Vedic concept, he is the "Preserving God" among the Trinity or "The God of Wealth" who symbolizes the energy of maintenance and sustenance.

Vishnupati is a highly favorable day for Lord Vishnu and devoting sincere prayers on this auspicious day grants you with everything that you need for happiness in this planet.

One might wonder how Lord Vishnu who takes severe test of devotees can be easily convinced in order to get the grace of Lakshmi. There are interesting and meaningful mythologies about it. Sudhama was called Kuchela - he who is dressed badly and dirtily.

Sudhama was the class-mate and close friend of Lord Vishnu (during Dwapara epoch) while acquiring knowledge from sage Sandeepani. Later Sudhama married and the birth of 27 children made him a very poor. His wife’s name was Sukshama means a person out of starvation has become lean and weak. To get over their state of life Kuchela went to meet the Lord with some beaten rice tied in a rag which was just four handfuls.

Lord and his consort Rukmani with great happiness and love served him.  On seeing Sudhama shy to offer the beaten rice, Krishna grabbed and ate a handful of it and removed the poverty of Kuchela who became as rich as the demi-god Kubera.

A person can win over the heart of Lord Vishnu by just offering his favorite beaten rice mixed with jaggery on all Wednesdays with devotion and love that will easily change one’s life to a higher level.

Even Lord Maha Vishnu was enhanced only after He married Goddess Lakshmi who was obtained while churning the cosmic ocean in his Kurma Incarnation. Here the myth tells how Devi who is the sole embodiment of beauty, virtue, health and affluence was won over by Vishnu in a war with demons, who carried her away.  He stationed all the gods and body guards around him as He needed all help to protect the wealth and beauty (Devi) from bad forces. In order to safe guard her, he married Lakshmi and gave a permanent place in His heart.

Thus by just remembering Kuchela and Devi Lakshmi, a person’s fate can be changed for best as both are very dear to Lord Vishnu.

Vishnupati only occurs 4 times a year when the Sun enters into a 'fixed' sign and this divine time period is known as "Vishnupathi Punya Kaalam", the most sought-after 9 hour window of opportunity for fast dissolution of mental impurities, quick spiritual evolution, and enhanced material gains and these signs are Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio.

Interestingly, according to Vedic time cycle, each Vishnupati has a unique celestial configuration which repeats every 60 years. Each unique celestial configuration lends itself for a specific benefit to be available and accessed by all who observe the event.

The Siddhas know how important these times are and have imparted that knowledge to us. The significant celestial events or miracles that occurred during these timings carry an important lesson in evolution of human consciousness. The powerful energy that is associated with this event is far reaching and has life changing aspects. You will be strengthened by Lord Vishnu's divine power directly during these 4 days a year.
