Shree Maa (Question on Kunjika Stotra) (Homa & Shri ShriRavishankar)

February 24, 2009

Namaste Utpal

Very good post ...

There have always been some big proponents of Homan and Agni pooja.

Pandit Shree Ram Sharma of Gayatri parivaar started it in a big way

many decades ago. This is a fantastic movement, where now they have

done research on homan etc and the effects on the environment and

body.

In Maharastra, followers of dattatreya had a simple agnihotra process

of using cow dunk and ghee and cotton bud. I think this was Gajanan

Maharaj, I may have the wrong name, but they are very authentic

Datta followers and that lineage.

In the south also Swami Ganapati Sachidanandji again a Datta Avatar

has been doing homans for many decades.

There may be more involved in Homam for many decades too, I am sure

many people can add to this list.

I wanted to do homan for a long time but I had no clue and some

months back I saw Narashima's manual and I did a few myself too.

Best Regards

Mitesh

Namaste Mitesh

This is a fantastic movement, where now they have done research on homan etc and the effects on the environment and body.

Can you kindly elaborate a bit more on this? Or if there is any link for the same. I am really interested to know more. Specially if there is any scientific angle to this.

-Regards

Rajarshi

Namaskaaram Miteshji,I think you have correctly named Sant Sri Gajaanan Mahaaraaja.In Maharashtra, there are many followers of him and Dattaatreya Upaasanaa ...As you have mentioned Gayatri Parivar(through their Periodical Yugnirman Yojana publihed since very long-at least over 30 Years) have vigorously propagated the Havana culture and benefitted many many millions.More importantly,in Sri Ram Sharmaji's lineage -Dr.Pranavaji -tried to analyse the gaseous emissions form a Gayatri Havana using Gas Chromatography technique and have scientifically proven that the emissions are benefic to the environment and people sitting nearby are actually benefitted healthwise. I do not recall the reference since these expirements were made in early 1990's.Gayatri Parivaar generally performed Homam on Sunday.They have been doing selfless service visiting uninitiated

people's Homes for Gayatri Homam for decades now. As Utpalbhai had mentioned a few other spiritually elevated persona have strongly recommended Homam techniques for 'Janakalyaana'....What I found to be unique and appealing on this forum and Sri Narasimhaji's Technique of Homam is the singular lack of complications... a very simple technique emphasizing on the meditation through Saatvika mantras. No elaborate preparations needed and no major expenditure or time. I am not sure of many people who have published OR put on Internet a step-by-step procedure for performing Homam -EVERYDAY.Very honestly-I have never performed any Homa on my own -now I have started it.As the learned people on this forum have been saying-even with my flows and incorrect handling-I still find some positive changes in personality and thinking pattern.Humble regards,amit --- On Tue, 2/24/09,
