Shiva Homam Manual

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

Along the lines of other short homam manuals that are available on the homam

website below, a short Shiva homam manual is available now. This homam is simple

and short enough to be performed daily or weekly or monthly.

 

It has many options for the main mantra used. Instead of doing a little of each

mantra and covering many mantras, I suggest picking any ONE mantra and doing it

as many times as one can. If one is unable to choose a mantra, I suggest

Mrityunjaya mantra. If one wants a simpler mantra, I suggest " Om hreem

namashshivaaya " . However, there are many options in the manual.

 

My advance greetings for a happy Maha Shivaratri!

 

It is hoped that spiritual seekers take advantage of this manual.

 

Company of fire has a highly beneficial effect on mind and homam (fire ritual)

is far more effective than japam (meditation) in purifying mind and removing

obstacles. Almost all the remedial measures (upayas) taught by Maharshi Parasara

in Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram (BPHS) involve homam and not japam. As the

internal purifying fire within individuals becomes weaker with deepening Kali

yuga, value of external fire in meditation increases. Meditation without an

external fire is much slower and less efficient for most people.

 

Homam manuals for Mahaganapathi, Chandi, Krishna, Mahalakshmi, Saturn and Mars

are already there on the website. We will slowly add manuals for more deities.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha
