Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Dear Narasimha, Thanks for this valuable manual. Could you enlighten me on the difference between Pitri Tarpana and Shraddham? I believe Shraddham is performed once a year on the thithi of demise of one's father (to be performed by the eldest son). There are some variants such as performing it during the Shraddha Paksham instead of on the actual thithi, every year. Also, have heard of a Gaya Shraddham, which is to be performed once in a lifetime, and which makes it unnecessary to perform yearly Shraddham subsequently. Have tried to search for material on this but have not succeeded so far. At least if you can provide information on some sources, it would be a great help. Thanks and regards, Ram --- On Fri, 12/6/09, Narasimha P.V.R. Rao <pvr wrote: Narasimha P.V.R. Rao <pvr " Vishnu Sahasra Naama Homam " Manual Available Now Cc: sohamsa , , vedic astrology , sivacharya Friday, 12 June, 2009, 5:45 AM Namaste, Now a Vishnu sahasra naama homam manual is available. It contains a very short procedure for Vishnu sahasra naama homam. It is very detailed and pretty much anybody can follow it. Those who regularly chant Vishnu sahasra naama stotram should be able to perform a homam if they spend an extra 10 minutes, after a little practice. For those who are pressed for time and yet want to do a homam, a super-short procedure involving one verse is also given. The manual is available in English language, with mantras given in Sanskrit/Hindi, English, Telugu, Kannada or Malayalam scripts. In addition to this manual, manuals for Mahaganapathi homam, Chandi homam, Krishna homam, Shiva homam, Mahalakshmi homam, Sani homam and Kuja homam are available. More will be coming later. Chanting Vishnu's 1000 names is very powerful in this age. It is the best antidote for many problems, material and spiritual. Fire of a reasonable size augments the effect. The philosophy of fire ritual is explained in the manual. This is a part of the effort to enable a community of sadhakas who worship various deities in fire, as per the command of the divine Mother to my spiritual master at Kalikambal temple in Chennai in March 2006. Please go to the homam website below to download the manuals. It is hoped that spiritual sadhakas interested in homam will benefit from this and also help in increasing collective dharma in this world with their contribution. Please feel free to spread this link among interested people. Any philosophical or practical questions on homam or any spiritual sadhana can be discussed on the .
