[Vaideekam]: Agni sandhanam : Taantrika Vidhi

[Guest guest]

Respected Swamin,

 

AdiYen has following questions regarding vaideeka rituals. Your guidance is a

blessing.

 

I see Agni Mukham in two procedure. One Vaideeka Vidhi, like prathishta paatra

saadanam etc..and the other with Tantrika vidhi with agni chakram drawing,

avakunta mudra etc..

 

 

 

1. When is the vaideeka vidhi applied. When is the Taantrika Vidhi used.

2. Both the above have same way of ending with paridhi praharanam, Jayaadi etc.

Is that so or does taantrika vidhi has its own way of ending.

***

Your Question itself is indicating that you know there are different types of

Prayogams. I know only about Gruhya Sutram which is used for gruhasthas, to

perform functions like upanayanam, vivaham, gruha pravesam etc.

I dont know anything about the thanthreeka vidhi.

***

 

 

3. If the yajamaana wishing to perform Homam does not have Yagnopaveeta (Like

from Other 2 Varnas other than Shudra) then how is the homam conducted.

***

The Yajamana can do upto sankalpam even if he doesnt have yagnopaveetham, but

the sankalpam should end as Aacharyamukhena kaarayishye. Then the yajamana

should make a request to the acharya to perform the karma on behalf of him by

giving the Dharba mushti to the acharyan(which means Aacharya varanam).

***

4. How far is it justified to put the yagnopaveeta just before the event for non

brahmana varnas other than sudra.

***

I know that Kshatriyas and Vysyar can wear Yagnopaveetam but i donno the

procedures for that

***

5.Beore any homa for example Mrityunjaya homa, is there a specification that the

yajamaana has to do the corresponding mantra japa so many times in multiples of

ahutis being given.

***

If the Yajamana is willing to do so, we can ask him to chant some slokas other

than veda which are related to that karma

***

My Gratitudes.
