What is the purpose of Narayan Nagbali
Pooja?
If a person who has died or committed suicide due to malnutrition has not been resurrected due to non-transformation, then he continues to wander because he was not moving, Such a prevents the offspring of the clan. It also hurts the descendants in any way. Narayanbali has to be performed to give speed to such a body.
The right time to perform the rituals
Narayanbali is suitable for performing the ritual of pure Ekadashi and Dvadashi of any month. Shraddha should be performed on Ekadashi by doing Adhivas (Devatasthapana). Nowadays, most people perform the ritual on the same day. If this ritual is to be performed for procreation, it is more beneficial to perform it on one of the dates of Shravan Nakshatra, Panchami or Putrada Ekadashi.
