Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Pranams. There are two views about conducting the “ LS HOMAM “ . While First school thinks that LS homam should not be conducted in isolation but as an Anga of Sri Vidya Navavara Puja , the other school feels otherwise -- it is not like that and could be conducted provided one does Paryana atleast 10 times ( dashamsam ) .. I have been directed by my Pujya Guru to follow the second school of thought . I seek comments on these views from the learned members. Out of academic interest this question is placed and not to know why my guru has advised in a particular way.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Namaste, The post in question has presented a very fundamental issue on homas. Agni Mukha prayogas in the vedas are classified into two folds: a. Samantraka Homa - A homa where there is a vedic mantra or a moola mantra; b. Namamantra homa- There is no moola mantra involved in this homa. In a samantraka homa the offerings have to be by avadhana karma (If not keval ajya or only ghee)i.e., ajya is first filled in the sruk then charu is placed in the sruk abhigara is done to the charu in the charu patra and again to the charu in the sruk before offering the oblation. This method has to be followed for all homas which have a moola mantra in it. However, in case of namamantra homa, there is no avadhana karma involved. Therefore LS Homam can be performed with out Avadhana Dharma. LS Homa can be performed in isolation and not necessarily as part of Navavarna Homam. It is imperative that those who officiate should have Srividya. As Shri. Ganapathi Vijaya rightly pointed, it is necessary to atleast a dashamsha japa for the homa. I have seen in many LS Homams that it is combined with mahaganapathi mantra and srividya. The tantrokta agni mukha prayoga in fact goes further to include the moola mantra in place of or in addition to the vedic mantras. I think it is pertinent that one follows the kramam into which one has been initiated into. Bodhayana says that what is incomplete, doubtful or otherwise deficient becomes complete upon brahmana vachana to that effect. If this is the case of brahmana vachana then what is said by the guru is even more superior and one ought to follow that person. My 2 cents..
