Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Dear Friends: Devipuram/Vi1 extends its sincere wishes to you on the occasion of Guru Pournima, to be celebrated on July 2, 2004. Guruji and Guruji- Amma convey their blessings, wishes and love to all. On this blessed occasion, we are pleased to release, in Guruji Sri Amritananda Saraswati's voice, the audio of the sacred and powerful Viraja Homam. This Viraja Homam audio is in mp3 format and can be downloaded at http://vi1.org/mantras/virajahomam/viraja.shtml Our special thanks to Nandakumar Nayar for recording, mixing and creating this excellent audio for us. Guruji recommends using this audio as a daily cleansing meditation that will help re-establish our identity with the goddess within. Viraja Homam is a core ritual and a very important component of the Sri Chakra Navavarana Puja. Its significance can be gauged from the following conversation Guruji had with one of his disciples who was plagued with personal problems: DISCIPLE: "Guruji, there are so many problems in my life that I simply feel down and out. I sometimes wonder if life is even worth living any more. Everyday I have to somehow literally pick myself up to do things. I have no motivation to live whatsoever. What should I do?" GURUJI: "Doing Navavarana Puja can be very helpful. It will help rejuvenate you physically, mentally and astrally." DISCIPLE: "Guruji, I don't have the energy or the will to sit down for 2 hours to do an elaborate puja. I am finding it difficult to even survive!" GURUJI: "Yes I understand the situation. I recommend you do the Viraja Homam daily. It is the single most important part of the Navavarana Puja. It will help you to reconnect with Devi both inside and outside. It will re-energize your astral body immensely. By daily practice of the Viraja Homam, you will let go of your physical and mental maladies, and fill yourself at all levels by the Amritam or divine nectar. This state of divinity is always within us but our limited vision prevents us from experiencing it. Viraja Homam removes these limitations by an internal sacrifice where we witness the transmutation of our limited self into the unassailable peace of the divine Self. You will be a floating bubble of peace unaffected by the turbulence of life. My blessings are with you." On this occasion of Guru Pournima, our hope is that this audio, in a small way, can bring these Guruji's blessings of peace and tranquility to each of you. We hope you will find this new release useful and inspirational.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi Yogaman: Sorry for the delayed response, I apparently missed your message when you first posted it. :-( I understand your question; I too was surprised by the content of the audio file when I first heard it. But I cannot authoritively define for you what it is or isn't; I'd say you would do best to direct your inquiry to seva ... If you receive any interesting reply, please do share it with the group!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Devi_bhakta: This is the reply that I got from the email ID you provided me for the query - "Yes it most definitely is." (i.e. it is a key part of the Navavarana pooja) "The whole purpose of the Navavarana puja is mapping yourself as the goddess you worship. And this ritual (which is part of the N.Puja) is the key part of doing exactly that." The above statement was confirmed by Sri BhasuranandaNatha. -yogaman , "Devi Bhakta" <devi_bhakta> wrote: > Hi Yogaman: > > Sorry for the delayed response, I apparently missed your message > when you first posted it. :-( > > I understand your question; I too was surprised by the content of > the audio file when I first heard it.
