Pradoshams for karma removal

Pradoshams offer a powerful time for karma removal and the next set occurs on May 22nd and June 5th, both Fridays. Friday is ruled by Goddess Maha Lakshmi, giving you rare back to back Friday Pradoshams to please the deity who controls your money.
Pradoshams on Fridays are very special to a form of Lord Vishnu by name Lakshmi Narasimha. Lakshmi Narasimha incarnated during Pradosham time and praying to him on Pradosham days provides you with blessings for money.
If you are subject to other's jealousy, hatred and enmity, then Lord Narasimha will offer special relief to you. When you pray to him with butter balls, he is appeased and protects you from evil eye and malicious acts of others. You will be blessed with prosperity and also recover lost assets.
Legend of Narasimha and Pradosham:
One of the greatest incarnations of Lord Maha Vishnu is Lord Narasimha Avatar. In this avatar, Lord Vishnu takes the form of a man-lion to eliminate the super demon Hiranyakasibu. The Siddhas give a metaphorical explanation for this avatar. Hiranya represents the ego at its peak. When your ego is super inflated, you act rashly and with less prudence. Lord Maha Vishnu decided to teach a lesson to the human beings on the limits that one shouldn't exceed as far as EGO is concerned. So he is depicted as having torn the demon who was an epitome of EGO, in the form of Narasimha. This event happened during Pradosham time.

Vishnupati which falls on May 14th night.

Are you totally worn out with the daily battle for finances that you wage impacting your health and fitness?
Help is around the corner in the form of Lord Hanuman and Lord Vishnu's blessings during Vishnupati.
Vishnupati which falls on May 14th night. The rituals are performed on May 15th morning, is a time when money miracles happen. Mythologically, this is also an important time when significant celestial events occurred which carry important lessons in evolution of Human consciousness. The energy that is associated with this event is far reaching and life changing. But the Siddhas feel fellow human beings have not taken cognizance of this fact. We know Pradoshams, Akshaya Trithai and other events of great significance. Just like them, Vishnupati is an equally auspicious event and occurs only four times a year. Irrespective of religion, nationality etc., you can take advantage to move forward both in your material and spiritual life.
Mythologically, this is also an important time when significant celestial events occurred which carry important lessons in evolution of Human consciousness. There is an interesting legend associated with Vishnupati and Lord Hanuman. Lord Ram's (an avatar of Lord Maha Vishnu) wife was abducted by the demon king Ravana and imprisoned in Lanka. In his epic battle with Ravana, Sri Ram felt very weak and couldn't continue. He sought the advice of Lord Hanuman to prescribe adequate remedies to regain strength. Lord Hanuman, being a devotee so close to Lord Ram was so overwhelmed by the moment. He felt that this was a delusive play of Lord Ram but still told Lord Ram that he had to seek Sage Agastya's advice for the remedies.
Sage Agastya prescribed the sacred 'Aditya Hrudaya' mantra to Lord Ram and asked him to perform it with all austerities. The entire sacred mantra pooja was written in sacred stones by Lord Jambavan, another devotee of Lord Ram. Lord Ram regained his strength as a result of this special pooja. To ensure that human beings get incredible blessings from the poojas conducted by Him, Lord Ram created a mountain out of the mantras written on stone. As per Siddhas, this sacred mountain is the Padalur mountain series, which is close to Trichy in TamilNadu. Lord Ram asked Lord Hanuman in the form of 'Veera Anjaneya' to permanently bless people who pray in these mountains.
