Satyanarayan Pooja is performed on the full moon night every month. This pooja focusses on moving our minds from materialism (known as maya) to liberation (known as moksha).
According to the tales of Skanda Puran, Lord Narada had communicated the plight of the hungry people on Earth to Lord Vishnu who then had communicated this procedure of worship and feeding the needy back to Lord Narada. After observing the Satyanarayan Vrat, the humans benefitted from it immensely and thus over the years this practice is widespread worldwide.
