Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Namaste all family: Swami's Shiva class Thursday night taught that the Divine Fire, the Homa, is the most powerful technique for purification and expansion of consciousness. And he showed us how to enkindle it. He gave us the keys to Heaven. I asked him if the fire can really burn our karma, or, if this was only an allegorical statement. He responded that the fire can absolutely burn our karma. He said that in order for it to burn our karma, we must make a personal sacrifice to the homa, to Indra. What do we sacrifice? We sacrifice all of our thoughts and our distractions, and our self, and keep our attention and mind focused 100% on the fire. We do this by chanting the mantras, remembering their meanings, keeping our asnan-our seat, and making the offerings of rice, etc. By making that self sacrifice-by keeping our attention 100% focused on the fire, we merge with the fire, we become One with it. Thus, it has done its job. It takes away our mind, purifies us, and expands our consciousness. It burns our karma, and takes away our mind. I hope those who watched the class can perform a homa this weekend, and bring your questions to Swami Monday at class. Swami is indeed a Master of the Homa, and can transmits its essence unlike anyone I have ever met. His homa teachings have changed my life and I highly recommend this sadhana for anyone who wants to really deepen their experiences and strengthen their connection to Maa and Swami.
