Doubts to Narasimhaji

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimhaji,

 

I have read in Robert Svoboda's 'Kundalini' that to achieve mantra siddhi, you

must follow specific 'purascharana'.

For this you need to decide how much repetition you would do everyday.

After you finish, 10% of that amount is offered into 'homa',

10% in water as 'tarpana',

10% you sprinkle water as 'marjana' and

finally 10% as 'bhojana' or gifts.

Could you please guide me on my following:

1. your comments on 'purascharana'

2. So this means that homa cannot be done frequently unless you do the japa for

that specific number of repetition?

3. Since you have learned sanskrit, it will really great if you can throw some

light on 'marjana'.

 

 

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
