This is a month long festival generally held between July and August every year corresponding with the Hindu lunar month of Shravan. In this month special poojas are performed at the holy Samadhi of Shri Manik Prabhu Maharaj. The Mahapooja performed every day during Shravan Maas is an elaborate ritual. The Mahapooja consists of Mahanyas, Laghunyas and Rudrabhishekam followed by Sahsra Bilwarchana, wherein 1000 leaves of the Bilwa tree are offered to Shri Prabhu with the chanting of His 1000 names – Sahasranaam. This is followed by Naivedya , Aarati and Mantrapushpam. Thousands of devotees irrespective of caste, creed or religion are provided with free meals in the Bhandarkhana after the Mahapooja. The Mahapooja on each Monday is a very special occasion wth Bhajans sung in the glory of Shri Prabhu.

 
 

The evening session is marked with a special Pradosha Pooja and Mantra Jagar – chanting of the Vedas by the students of the Veda Pathashala followed by Nitya Bhajan and Aarati.

On the full moon day of Shravan popularly known as Raksha-Bandhan special religious rites are performed wherein all students of the Veda Pathashala and the temple priests together wear new Yagnyopaveetam.

On Mahasankashti special poojas are offered to Lord Ganesh with one thousand repetitions of the Ganapati Atharvasheersha. On Krishna Janmashtami Shreeji performs Krishna Janma with the singing of Bhajans at the stroke of midnight. This is followed by Mahapooja.

The 13th day of the new moon in Shravan happens to be the day on which Devi Venkamma attained Maha-Samadhi. It is said that when Shri Prabhu himself came to attend her funeral Devi Venkamma got up as if she was alive, paid her obeisance at the feet of Shri Prabhu and then again fell like a corpse. This is a very special day in the Samsthan’s calendar. Mahapooja is offered at the Samadhi of Devi Venkamma on this day.

The month long festivities connected with Shravan Maas come to an end on the first day of Bhadrapad Maas, with a special Anna-Pooja performed by Shreeji himself.
