SrI Vishnavan

 

Dear SrI Vaishnava:

 

SrI Sudarsana Homam is a powerful and grand homam

consisting of the recitation of many Veda manthrams

preceded by BhIjAksharams and prayOgams .

 

If you are living in the USA, I would recommend you

to particpate in one of the Sudarsana Homams that are

being performed in the most Vaidhika Manner at SrI RanganAtha temple

at Pomona , NY every week . It starts between 8 and 9 A.M on every

Saturday and Sunday. It lasts around an hour .

 

A brief sequence for Sudarsana Homam acording to

one sampradhAyam is as follows:

*****************

 

1. Sudarsana Manthra Japam with kara nyAsam , HrudhayAdhi

nyAsam , DhyAanam , ViniyOgam

 

2. Sudarsana AshTottharam starting with (PraNavam ) SudarsanAya nama:

and concluding with (PraNavm) NaarAyaNakrupAvyUha tEjascchakrAya nama:

 

3. SrI Sudarsana Homa MahA Sankalpam

 

4. Kumba AavAhanam : In that Kumbam , VaruNan , Lakshmi NaarAyaNan,

Sudarsan are invoked and ShOdasOpachAra AarAdhanam is performed

 

5. Agni Prathishtai

 

6. Homam with the following Manthrams:

 

** SrI Sudarsana ShadAkshari(108 times)with aahUthi

 

** SrI Sudarsana GaayathrI

 

** SrI Sudarsana MaalA Manthram

 

** SrI Nrusimha manthram

 

** SrI Nrusimha GaayathrI

 

** SrI VishNu GaayathrI

 

** SrI LakshmI GaayathrI

 

** SrI LakshmiI Manthra Homam

 

** SrI DhanvanthrIi Manthra prayOgam

 

** SrI Paanchajanya Gaayathri

 

** PoorNAhUthi

 

All (the Four participants)/rhtviks) and the spectators

go around the Agni Kuntam and recite SrI SudarsanAshtakam .

The Basmam ( saampal) from the Homam is worn on

the forehead for auspiciousness and protection.

 

The Homam concludes here.

 

In this Homam , if Lord Sudarsana is pleased ,

you may get a glimpse of Sudarsana BhagavAn

in the Saptha jihvA (Seven tongued) of Agni JwAlai.

 

Optional: Sudarsana ShaDkam can be recited here

followed by SrI Sudarsana Sathakam of Sri Koora

NaarAyaNa Jeeyar. This is a a powerful sthOthram.

 

This sthOthram is about the fierce and yet

auspicious Sudarsana JwAlai and the other

parts of Sudarsana Chakram . SrI Koora NaarAyaNa Jeeyar

has blessed us with 100 slOkams on Lord Sudarsana ( 24 on

the Sudarsana JwAlai, 14 on the nEmi of SudarsanA ,

12 on the arams of SudarsanA , 11 slOkams on the Naabhi of

Sudarsana chakram ,13 slOkams on the Aksham of the Chakram

and 26 on the description and salutation of

Sudarsana MahA Purushan presiding over this

MahA Chakram ).

 

In conclusion , Swamy NammAzhwAr's ThriuvAimozhi

decad 7.4 can be recited for general auspicousness

and to ward off any amangalams.

 

This decad starts with the Paasuram :

 

Aazhiyezha Sankum villumzha , disai

vaazhiyezhat-taNDum VaaLUmezha , aNDam

mOzhaiyeazha mudipaadhamezha , Appan

Oozhyezha Ulaham koNDavARE
