Sri Sukta Homam and sama upakarma facing direction

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Vasu Vadhyar swAmin,

 

I remember sometime back you mentioned that if people want to

perform a homam for entering a house which is already built, they can

perform Sri Sukta and Vaastu homams. Can I ask what are the names of

the basic steps in such a homam?

 

Also a question on another topic: for saama upakarma which is

coming up on Thursday, which direction should we sit for doing

deva/rushi tarpaNam? I saw in one procedure that tarpaNam should be

done facing north (in yajur upakarma) so wanted to check.

 

Many thanks,

praNAmams,

It is just difference in the Sankalpam as :

" Asmin gruhe " instead of " Noothana Gruhe "

instead of " Noothana Gruhapravesam Karishye "

say " Vaastu shaanthiyartham Ashtalakshmi nivasa sidhyartham

Yatha shakthi Purusha sooktha homa, Sri sooktha homa, Vaastu homani cha

karishye "

Avoid " Yath bhoomehe " manthram only and start from " Brahmachathe " then to the

end.

In the Noothana gruhapravesam aajyam (ghee) is the only homa dhyravyam used, but

in the old house we can use 'samidh', 'Annanm', 'Aajyam' all

in the place of 'Samidh' we can use the lotus flowers, 'Bilva' leaves and or

fruits. In the place of annam we can use either 'Kesari' or 'Chakra pongal'.

About Sama Upakarma,

Sitting direction is always towards east, but the tip of the 'Erukku leaf's' tip

(nuni) of the 'dharbhams' should be turned to North while doing Rushi tharpanam

and it should be in East while doing Deva Tharpanam.

Dear Vasu Vadhyar swamin,

 

Thank you for your help and for the information on upakarma tarpaNam.

 

About the homam, there are some terms in your " Gruhapravesham " pdf

document which I am not familiar with (I know very little about

vaideekam). Can I ask clarification for what each of these

steps/terms mean?

 

Anugnyai

paristaraNam

paatra saadana darbham

praNeeti

Aajya bhaagam

swishTakruth homam

Jayaadi homam

Praneeth Mokshanam

Brahma Udhvaasanam (is this where we do what is usually called

'poorNaahuti'?)

 

I understand this is a fairly long list which you may not have time

to answer in full. In that case, I would be grateful for

clarification from any of the other learned members in the group also.

 

regards, praNaamams,

Ranjan

These can not be given in group as you have asked.

It should be taught by a Vadhyar as sandhai.

The given steps are useful for a fair vadhyar who already

know about vaideekam.

Still I am ready to start the vaideekam class if I could

get a considerable number of students in a particular time.

i.e, 45 minutes per day, minimum 12 days per two weeks all the

students must attend the (online) class.

If you are ready, I am also ready to start it at once.
