Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Dear Narsimhaji, Just I read Chandi Homam manual yesterday. You have written that Devi kavacha, Ratri Sukta and Devi Sukta (Namo Devyai....) is to be omitted before and after 13 chapters for Ahutis. But sir in my routine daily homam for different dieties, if I find some time I am doing homam on Ratri Sukta and Devi Sukta mantras also and giving Ahutis. Some times I include 4th Chapter (Shakradayah....) and sometimes 11th Chapter also. Is it a mistake ? or it is O.K ? I mean, can I give Ahutis for Ratri Sukta and Devi Sukta independantly when I am not doing whole Chandi path Homam ? Can I also give Ahutis for 4th chapter only?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Namaste, Ratri sooktam is for Kaalaraatri, personification of the state of the universe between creation cycles. Devi sooktam is for the root energy that is behind the creation, susetenance and destruction of the universe and that which drives the desires, thoughts, actions and knowledge of all beings in the universe. Those sooktas can be chanted in any homam and not just in Chandi homam. If you offer aahutis with them, that is ok. The only point is that the intonation of the last syllable (before swaahaa) is most likely mis-intonated. Don't worry too much about it. The "shakraadi stuti" and "Naaraayani stuti" chapters are like the crux. It is ok to do a homam only with 4th or 11th chapters.
