OM SHRI RAGHAVENDRAAYA NAMAHOM SHRI LAKSHMI NRUSIMHAAYA NAMAHDear Chi.Narasimha,Every year when I go to my native place on vacation, I perform Shri Ganapathy Homam through my Kula Purohit which takes place about 1 Hr.Minimum which includes installation of Ashta Dikpalakas,Installing of Guru Devatha,etc.then putting fire using different types of wood,performing of Homa with Shri Ganapathy Moola Mantra,Chanting of Shri Ganapathy Atharvasheersha etc.offering of Ashta Dravya to Homam,Ghee etc.Finally Pooja will be performed after offering Ashta Dravya Nivedya.So as per me this is the correct procedure to perform Shri Ganapthy Homam.So why we have to cut short the methods ?With Shri Hari Vaayu Guru Naama Smarana,Ramadas Rao.On Mon, 31 Dec 2007 13:03:03 -0500 sohamsa wroteNamaste friends, The latest version of "Sri Mahaganapathi Homam Manual: Laghu Paddhati (Short Procedure)" is available at the link below. The procedure has been fine-tuned some more for a better results and some explanations have also been refined. Also, a super-short procedure with bare minimum mantras is included as an appendix, as per the advice of my guru. The short procedure taught earlier was still too complicated for many people and contains several Sanskrita mantras, some from Veda. The newer super-short procedure will allow more people to take advatantage of homam. One can do a quick fire worship of Ganapathi in 15-20 minutes using this super-short procedure. The section on the benefits of homam has also been enriched more. A new MP3 audio file that matches with the procedure given in the document will soon be uploaded.

namaste,

 

> So as per me this is the correct procedure to perform Shri Ganapthy Homam.So

why we have to cut short the methods ?

 

I believe this is answered in misconception #2 (found on page 4 of Sri

Narasimha's document).

 

Traditions are different in different places of the country. I have

not heard of the installation of dik-palakas as part of

ganapathi-homam before (it is customary to do archana to them since

they adorn the homa-kunda as a part of any homa, and that is found in

Sri. Narasimha's procedure as well). Please do give some details or

how this is performed in ganapathi-homa in your native area.

 

> takes place about 1 Hr.Minimum

 

In my native place, the traditional homa only takes half that time,

and it is not due to shortcuts.

 

bhavadIyaH,

 

ajit
