Rao sivacharya Tuesday, June 05, 2007 12:21 AM Mahaganapathi Homam Background Namaste revered friends and elders, I mentioned a Mahaganapathi homam manual and audio in my mail a few days back. There is a small story behind it. My spiritual guru Dr Manish Pandit had a dream a few years back. In the dream, eight Siddhas took him to Chennai and showed him a big fire there. They told him that Mahaganapathi homam would be performed by lakhs of people in future across the world and that the big fire was due to that movement. They told him that this fire had to be lit now and that he had to start spreading Mahaganapathi homam in the world. He wondered if spreading homam in Kali yuga was a good idea. They told him it was. They said that even many religiously inclined and good people do not get to spend many hours everyday in sadhana unlike in the old days and that the times are changing. With people spending a small amount of time on spiritual sadhana everyday, they said a more powerful sadhana like homam is needed. An half hour homam everyday is equivalent to 5 hours of meditation. In old days, people were happily spending 5 hours in meditation each day. That is no longer possible for most people these days and hence homam can help. The Siddhas told him that homam was very much needed in today's times. As adharma increases in the world, more people need to be doing homam on a regular basis to counter it. A few years after this dream, we went to the Kalikambal temple in Chennai for a Shata Chandi Homam. At that event, Manish Pandit saw the same eight Siddhas who had earlier come in his dream. They were meditating on the premises of the Kalikambal temple! After doing his 21st Chandipaatham of the Shata Chandi, the Divine Mother appeared before him on a Friday afternoon. The temple was closed then and only Manish Pandit and another person were inside. Nobody else was around. The other person did not see the Divine Mother, but he reported that he smelled something out of the ordinary and was baffled. The Divine Mother told Manish Pandit to start spreading Mahaganapathi homam and said that the resources needed would be arranged. The very next day, Swami Sathasivom had a friend gift some books on Mahaganapathi homam to Manish Pandit and me! Later, one thing led to another and I have put together the document and the audio that is now available on my website (see below). Our idea was to come up with a simple Vedic procedure that takes only 30-45 minutes, which any householder can do as a daily practice. We have some people actually doing this homam daily for several months now. I have revealed the above with permission from Manish Pandit. I guess the Siddhas who decided to spread Mahaganapathi homam simply chose us as the instruments and arranged things for us. In fact, how my wife and I met Swami Sathasivom in Boston and how it was decided to have the Shata Chandi Homam with Manish Pandit at Chennai Kalikambal temple was all very interesting. A lot of interesting coincidences led to the preparation of the Mahaganapathi homam manual and audio. Hopefully, some more people will be able to put the resources to practical use.
