Respected Guruji

 

What is digbandha and how is it related to homa or any puja?

Namaste,

 

Before any pooja or homam, we do anga nyasa and kara nyasa and then

digbandha. Nyasas are supposed to *place* the energy of certain sounds in

specific chakras (energy centers) of the body. Then digbandha is supposed to

lock all directions so that no energy except that of the deity being

worshipped can enter the area. You are placing an energy fence around you

that can be crossed only by a specific energy.

 

However, these procedures are a mere formality now-a-days and very few can

actually do them as they are supposed to be done. Any person or energy can

*penetrate* the area that has been locked out in the digbandha done by most

people. It is ineffectual. However, the good thing with keeping the

tradition alive is that knowledge is passed on and a capable person coming

in a future generation can benefit from the knowledge passed on blindly and

without experiential verification.

 

I stress surrender, devotion and sincerity and downplay various technical

aspects to which most people - including many professional priests - cannot

do justice anyway.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha
