Procedure for performing Homams

[Guest guest]

Namaskaarams!

 

Can any of the members of this group provide me with

info. on the following:

 

1. What are the sequences of performing a Homam?

 

2. Whether Ganapathi Homam has to be followed by

Navagraha Homam always?

 

3. What do we do for Poornaahuthi?

 

4. Is there any website or online resource available

for learning more about performing Homams?

 

5. Are there any non-commercial Homam audios

available?

 

Thanks and regards

Namaste:

 

The questions that you have raised require an authority on Homa

Vidhis to answer. I have provided some useful references and please

follow it up to get all the answers that you are looking for.

 

Cautionary Note: Those who want to conduct `homam – Vedic Yajnas `

should conduct learnt Vedic Pandits if they are really serious. Vedic

rituals can't be (shouldn't) be conducted half-hearted fashion using

amateurish materials and performers.

looking for. Please remember the cautionary note that I have

provided before you venture anything on your own.
