Doubts about homam

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimhmaji,

 

It was a divine intercept when I opened you mail on Mahalaxmi homam. I was about

to ask this question to you. I do the Mahalaxmi sadhana everyday with Sri

Suktam. Normally homam is done for the sadhana you do everyday(as per

Aghora-II-Kundalini).I have already started with Mahaganapti homam.

I have couple of doubts about the homam:

1. I was about to ask if I can recite shree suktam after atharvasheersham, but

you answered my question with a document itself!!

 

2. We have to offer Nevaidyam 2 times and once for Bali. Is it ok if I divide

same items in different plates and offer them for all 3 process? or it is to be

done with different items

 

3.While making offering in the fire, can i put nevaidyam items in it or

nevaidyam items are offered only at the time of naivedyam. Rest of the time I

offer some other items(like havan samagri,samidha,etc)

 

4.When placing the darabhas in 6lines, again we have to put darbhas 2 times

along east-west and north-south directions in Agni pratisthapana(i.e. they lie

on the same darbhas?). Am I getting something wrong in this?

 

5.What to do with the left over items in the home kund after the homam? Has it

to be put in the flowing river only? If I am doing homam frequently is there any

environmental friendly disposal(though there is no problem in India)?

 

It will be great if you can answer my queries(the doubts may sound dumb or

simple, but please answer them)

 

I will be starting with the Mahalaxmi homam from next week.The documents are

really great and I am sure helping many in their sadhana.

Thanking you,

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

Prasad A. Pole

Manual for " Sri Mahalakshmi Homam " is available now

 

Namaste friends,

 

As some of you know, a Mahaganapathi homam manual was made available about 2

years back and several people are performing Mahaganapathi homam on a daily or

weekly or monthly basis using it. Recently, we made a Chandi homam manual and

Sri Krishna Homam manual available. Our goal is to create manuals for homam of

several deities so that people can pick the deity they like and do a regular

homam. What we want to create is a community of sincere spiritual seekers who

regularly worship *a deity* (any) in fire.

 

Now a manual for Sri Mahalakshmi homam is ready on this auspicious day of

Sraavana Sukravara with Sravana nakshatra! Tithi (Chaturdasi) , vaara

(Sukravara), yoga (Soubhagya) and karana (Vanija) are all owned by Venus right

now and Venus has risen just now. Nakshatra is Sravana belonging to Vishnu.

 

The procedure taught in the manual uses 3 mantras for the main fire ritual - Sri

Suktam, Mahalakshmi' s 108 names taught by Lord Shiva to Parvati and

Mahalaskhmi' s Ashtakam (8 verses) composed by Lord Indra. One can pick the

mantra one is most attracted to and try it. If one is unable to pick, I suggest

the 108 name prayer taught by Shiva. It is very powerful and appropriate for

this age.

 

This homam should take about 45 minutes (less with a smaller count and more with

a higher count) and hence it is possible to use this procedure on a daily or

weekly or monthly basis. All the mantras needed are given with detailed

explanations. The document is appropriate for total novices also. This manual is

a self-sufficient document.

 

Mahalakshmi is normally considered the goddess of money. People think that Her

homam only gives money and not spiritual progress. However, the truth is that

Mahalakshmi takes different forms such as Dhana Lakshmi (wealth), Dhaanya

Lakshmi (food), Santana Lakshmi (children) etc and even Moksha Lakshmi, who

gives spiritual progress and liberation. Mahalakshmi is the goddess of

well-being and prosperity. Wealth is one kind of well-being and spiritual

progress is another kind of well-being. Mahalakshmi covers all kinds of

well-being. If appropriate mantras are selected for Mahalakshmi homam, it can be

great for spiritual progress without sacrificing material well-being.

 

Please download the manual from

Please feel free to spread the word among interested people.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha
