Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 AUPASANA or grihyagni is learnt on learning the agni mukha of ones swashakha. In other words if u know to do normal homas like ganapathi etc.. u can do aupasana. Of course u can do aupasana in about 20 mts max 30 mts. Generally in shrowtha the four priests will know the parts necessary for a ishti from sama veda. Mainly Subramanya samas, shukra samas etc... Catch hold of a purohit in ur area who performs weddings and homams u can learn the same from him. gP --- seetharaman_m <seetharaman_m wrote: > "....
