Namaste,

One can perform aupasana as per his Gruhya Suthram on a regular basis

only after having the Agni siddhi. The Agni Siddhi is acquired by

performing Stahlipakam (minimum 2 0r 3). Agni identifies a ahuthi

giver only if he has the Agni Siddhi. It is one way a visa to the

Agni's Domain. Even after acquiring agni siddhi, if one discontinues

aupasanam he is permitted to perform vichinnagni sandhanam, but

without initital agni sandhanam the question of performing

vichinnagni sandhanam does not arise. once we utter the

uddeshathyagam ie., indraya idam na mama etc., it is the duty of the

agni to hand over the ahuthi to concerned devata. Until or unless one

obtains the Agni Siddhi any havan performed in the agni is nothing

but a letter posted without address. As per Shastras such Ahuthi's

are taken away by the Rakshasas. This applies equally to both vidhika

homam and tantrica homam. Only difference being in Vaidika homam the

Ahuthis are routed through the agni, whereas in tantric homams the

concerned devata is propitiated in the Agni to accept the ahuthi and

all ahuthis are directly given to the concerned devata.
