Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Namaste, > thank u for ur ganpati homam procedure but i am very curious to know > about the brihat (long)procedure to do homa. Take a sankalpa to do Vighneshwara pooja. Invoke Vighneshwara in an idol made with turmeric paste. Do a shodasopachaara pooja to Vighneshwara. Then take a sankalpa to do the main homam (e.g. Mahaganapathi homam). Call back Vighneshwara. Invoke Varuna in kalasha with " imam me " and " tattvaayaami " mantras (veda mantras). Do shodasopachaara pooja to Varuna. Then read Punyaahavaachanam (Pavamaana sooktam). Call back Varuna and sprinkle a bit of kalasha water all around. Then start the fire. There are few additional procedures including the invocation of Brahma and Varuna in small water bowls with darbhas on then and quick pooja to them with akshatas. After the poorvaangam, call Mahaganapathi into fire and do shodasopachaara pooja. Then do the mantras you want. Do a shodasopachaara pooja again at the end. Do uttaraangam with avijnaataadi praayaschitta mantras etc just as in the short procedure. But one can optionally do Jayaadi homam also in the uttaraangam. It is a bunch of aahutis for various celestial beings with veda mantras. The rest is similar to the short procedure. I have done big ones as well, including 7-hour Mahaganapathi homam and 9-hour Chandi homam. But I have no doubt that a short homam repeated everyday is more effective than a long homam done once in a while. * * * I once saw some priests performing a Mahaganapathi homam and Navagraha homam. The priest declared, " all the bad karmas of whoever is present here are burned today and all of you will start on a clean slate now. " Though they did a detailed ritual, the actual mantras of Ganesha and planets were done to the minimum. For example, they offered the mantra of each planet just 4 times! For such a small count of mantras to actually burn all the karmas of 100 people, the performer has to be a rishi or something! I was amused by the declaration. Obviously, they were under time pressure and made a wrong tradeoff. The point I wanted to make is this. If you are able to do the main thing in a ritual for 2 hours, then it is reasonable to have 30 minutes of overhead. If you have only 40 minutes, it is a bad idea to spend 30 minutes on the overhead and wrap up the main thing in 10 minutes. It is better to do the overhead in 10 min and do the main part for 30 min. It is better that way. Sometimes, I see learned priests making the wrong tradeoffs when pressed for time. In this age, most people are pressed for time. They need help to make the correct tradeoffs so that they maximize the impact of the little they get to do.

Please educate me.Sir it would be nice if mahamirutnjaya homa procedure is shared to common people to get rid o ftheir disease I have the following doubts 1. Is there any particular dimensions for homa kunda which has to be followed strictly(I made the kundam with bricks) 2.do we need to do draw some yantra kind of figures(using turmeric/rice powder/green leaves powder) over which the homa kunda is erected .Do we need to do alankar with various colours (I saw this in a temple) 3.Do we need to do purification of the spoon which is used for putting ghee.I saw some procedures in kerala They are using two types of spoon on is flat like we use for making dosa and the other one bring normal 4.during upacharpooja do we need to use bells 5.I saw in some homa people used to put sesame seeds /banyan shoots/apamarg.Please tell me for what this is done 6).I have seen priests doing lot of mudras during the course of homa .what is the significance of it .PLease educate me regards Aswin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
