Homas and Yajnas Request for Help

[Guest guest]

Dear Karen,

The yagya in the Advanced Shiva Puja is more comlex than

than the one in the Hanuman Puja because it involves

establishing the fire on a yantra.

First it is important to learn the basic beginning mantras in the

 

Hanuman puja book which begin on page 152 with the

mantra

"ete gandhapuspe vahneryogapiithaaya namah."

All of the mantras in the Hanuman puja book are also in the

Advanced Shiva book. We will not concern ourselves with the

offering of the flag and the food in the Hanuman Puja book

now as this is specific for Hanuman and right now the purpose

is to learn how to start a basic fire.

I hope this will have helped to answer your questions.

Namaste,

Parvati
