Dhakshinamurthy Homam 105 | 4 | Powerfull Homams HOMAMS Homams are powerful ancient fi re rituals that have been performed in India by the Vedic sages for over 5000 years. Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita quotes, “This creation is a Yagna”. Yagna also means sacrifi ce and by this he meant that creation is an eternal fl ow of birth and death, it is a sacrifi ce where one’s death gives way for the birth of another, continuously and something gets sacrifi ced for something to arise. This is how the Vedas, interpret the creation and in the purview of the Vedas, the homa is but a miniature model of this Universal Sacrifi ce. Homas is derived from Veda’s contains the highest form of knowledge .The singular goal of Veda is to guide man through the correct path, and Homas forms the essence of all the Karmas prescribed in the Vedas. Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam The Complete Guide to Learn the Steps Involved in a Fire Ritual oma is a Sanskrit word, which refers to any kind of “ritual Hin off erings” that is made into a consecrated fi replace. It can also be referred to as Homam/ havan. Homas are an important religious practice in Hinduism, where they are a part of most of the ceremonies, in all creeds and castes. During a Homa, various rituals are performed successively in order to trigger various positive energies and also to develop the right sensation during the Homa. Some of these rituals are common and must be practiced before any fi re ritual. Aft er these rituals are executed, the main Homa would instigate; wherein the rituals diff er depending on which deity you want to invoke. The common rituals for all Homas are described below. Why Fire Rituals? Homas is an ancient form of sacrament, stemming from the “Vedic Science”. A Homa can help you get well, have good relationships, fi nd a partner, have children and it may even remove bad karma or negative aspects in a horoscope or with Vastu... An essential part of the fi re ritual is the spiritual connection the devotee craft s with the divine. Most oft en that contact is made possible through an external object: a facet of nature, a fi gurine, a vessel, a painting of God and so on. The Almighty is then invited to the vortex by chanting mantras. There are a lot of standard procedures in a fi re ritual and they are designed to invoke the devotional aspect of the devotee – of worship and devoutness. It is essential that one spotlessly cleans all the Pooja items: the lamps, the idol, the fruits off ered as Prasad, and make the necessary arrangements. | 6 | Powerfull Homams Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam Steps to Perform a Homa: 1. Pavitra Dharanam At the start of the Homa, the performer as well as the other people who are participating in the Homa, pray for the cleansing of their heart and soul and seek divine blessings of their ancestors and other divine beings. Having prayed thus, they wear a ring made of Darbha grass,on the ring fi nger of their right hand, which is known to repel negative energies. 2.Achamanam Specially made vessels called Panchapatras are set aside fi lled with water. (Note: during a Homa, iron or steel vessels are not to be used because of their low spiritual energies. Silver, copper, or a mixture of 5 metals is best preferred.) Water is taken with the left hand with a special copper spoon called “udraneeya” on to the cavity of the right palm and sipped three times chanting the names of Lord Vishnu. This practice is to purify one’s body and mind and is then followed by “siromarjanam” wherein the performers of the ritual take water in the udraneeya and sprinkle water on their own heads with their right thumb. The mantra chanted here means, “Whatever be the state of my body; sacred or unsacred, by the very chanting of the divine names, I sanctify this body of mine in order to obtain auspicious energies.” One must make sure the Achamanam must be performed facing the east or the north and never facing the west or the south. The following twelve names of the Lord should be utt ered, touching each limb of the body with a particular fi nger (the priests will specify upon the fi nger to be used). This signifi es that all the senses are dedicated to the service of God. When the senses are made introspective instead of going outwards to the external Powerfull Homams | 7 | Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam objects, the natural bliss of the soul will be manifested. The names to be chanted are: Kesava/ Narayana/ Madhava/ Govinda/ Vishnu/ Madhusoodhana/ Trivikrama / Vamana / Sridhara / Hrishikesa Padmanabha/ Damodara 3. Ganapati Prarthana/ Mahaganapathy Pooja In the Hindu scriptures, the elephant headed God, Ganesha is always worshipped in the beginning of any ritual, and for his blessings to ensure that the whole procedure would move smoothly unhindered by any external obstacles at any stage. Lord Ganesha is invoked into a conical fi gure made by mixing turmeric powder and water. Turmeric is considered very propitious and auspicious; and is therefore used to represent Lord Ganesha. Thereaft er, a method of worship involving sixteen steps is performed to please Lord Ganesha. This is called “Shodashopachara” Pooja. All these steps are symbolical representations of the various forms of expressing reverence like off ering the deity a golden throne to be seated, washing his feet, washing his hands, off ering him water to drink, ceremonial bathing with sacred waters, off ering new clothes, anointing him with sandal paste and other perfumes, adorning of jewels, worshipping with fl owers, off ering of fragrant incense, lighting the lamp, off ering food, fruits and sweet drinks, chanting his praises, off ering Aarthi and fi nally prostrating to him and seeking his blessings. Prayer to be chanted while praying to Lord Ganesha: “Suklam Baradharam Vishnum Sashivarnam Chaturbhujam Prasanna vadanam Dhyayet Sarva Vighnoposhantaye” 4. Kalasha (Sacred Pot) Pooja This is a very important step towards the Homa, for it is here that we invoke the main deity of the Homa. If it is a Subramanya Homa, Lord Muruga is invoked; and in a Kala Bhairava Homa, Lord Kala | 8 | Powerfull Homams Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam Bhairava is invoked. The deity is invoked, energized and adored in the Kalasha, which is a sacred copper pot fi lled with water. A coconut is placed over the Kalasha surrounded by 5 or 7 mango leaves. This Kalasha is further decorated with fl owers and a cloth is swathed over it. It is then placed facing the North- Eastern corner of the Homa or the sacrifi cial pit. The signifi cance of Kalasha is that it absorbs all the positive energies generated during the Homa. The divine water (with immense healing powers) in the Kalasha is then sprinkled upon and distributed to the participants at the conclusion of the Homa. 5. Sankalpa, declaration of intent The Sankalpa is the most important part in a Homa. The entire ritual is carried along with the strong will and wish of the participants. Each Homa is performed for a defi nite purpose; and it is this purpose that the performer and participants clearly hold within their minds as they take Sankalpa. It is at this time that the participants of the sacred Fire Ritual get to pray for their wishes like “God, grant me with power, knowledge and riches”, “Let the Almighty bless me with a good married life and a well matching spouse”, and so on… 6. Avahanam/ welcoming the Deity Avahanam is that stage of the Homa; wherein the Lord is formally and ritualistically invited to the premises of the Homa. Mantras are chanted to invite that particular Deity with immense dedication and godliness.

  • Dakshinachara and Vamachara
    Thiruvarur - Dakshinachara and Vamachara In all faiths of the world believing in some deity of the other, there definitely comes a stage when the said deity is viewed as the very creator of the world, the universe and everything in it. Thus, as the very source of creation, the deity is viewed akin to a Mother, where the universe and all its contents forms Her child. However, there is one tradition that directly centers on the Universal Mother in this very role itself, as the major deity. This is the tradition of Sri Vidya of Hinduism, which has remained a lofty, esoteric, sacred and protected tradition due to its directness of approach and absence of pretense. Some of the highest divinities of Hinduism, including the very trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are seen to be disciples and propagators of this tradition, which views the Universal Mother as Lalitha Ambika, translated as the Playful Mother. In this tradition, historically, one understands that the various approaches to Lalitha Ambika are broadly grouped into two categories - the right-handed Dakshinachara, and the left-handed Vamachara. Within their fold, they also include the equivalence dominated Samayachara and body-centric Kaulachara traditions respectively. Looking beyond the mysteries, misconceptions and controversies surrounding the perception of these approaches, one understands that the right and left handed approaches correspond by and large to internalised and externalised modes of worship respectively. The common aim of both systems is to attain Lalitha Ambika, who as the Absolute Parabrahman, is nothing but the Atman or the Self. This Self, also seen as Being-Consciousness-Bliss or Sat-Chit-Aanandam, is that blissful state underlying the three states of waking ‘Jaagara’, dream ‘Svapna’ and deep dreamless sleep ‘Sushupti’, metaphorically referred to as the three cities or Tripura, and hence, Lalitha Ambika is also called “Maha Tripura Sundari” or the Supreme Beauty of the Three Cities.

  • Temples Within Chennai City
    Temples within Chennai City 1 As the famous Tamil poetess AUVAYYAR says in Her Legendary presentation of cluster of hymns “Kovil illatha ooril kudi irukkathe” Please don’t reside in a place where there is no temple. The Statement of our forefathers is sacrosanct because the temple indicates that the community is graced by the presence of God and that its Citizens form a moral community. A Community identifies and is identified by others with its temples. It has been our ancient endavour to lead a pious life with full dedication to the services of the Lord. Sri Paramacharya of Kanchi Mutt has repeatedly called devotees and stressed the importance of taking care of old temples - which requires enormous power of men and money - instead of constructing new temples in cities. As you may be aware, there are thousands of temples in dilapidated condition and requires constant maintenance work to be undertaken. There are many shiva lingas of ancient temples found under trees and also while digging. In ancient times, these lingas were 'Moolavars' of temples built by several kings. After conquests and devastations by foreign invaders, Indian temples were destructed and the sacred deities were thrown away and many were broken. The left out deities are found later. Of them, some are unidentified. Those who attempt to construct temples for gods are freed from the sins of a thousand births. Those who think of building a temple in their minds are freed from the sins of a hundred births. Those who contribute to the cause of a temple are bestowed with divine virtues and blessings.
