Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009  Namaste Ashwin ji, My guru's idea is to start four such centers in east, west, north and south parts of India and then establish one in Ujjain. The idea with each center is as following: It should be in some peaceful and calm place that is easily accessible by modern transportation and yet a little away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. There need not be a big or famous temple nearby. Buy a few acres of land (for possible expansion in future) and construct a homa kundam built in open space with four pillars on the four sides and a high roof on the top to protect from rain. The area is open on all the four sides and covered only on the top. Close to it, a small one or two room structure is built to store materials. A priest or a sadhaka is employed. His main qualification is that he should be a sincere devotee of the Mother and interested in a simple lifestyle dedicated to Her. His job is to do one Chandi homam in the morning, one more in forenoon, have lunch, relax in the afternoon and do one more Chandi homam in the evening. Keep doing it day in and day out. There are no idols to worship and no other rituals to do. This will pretty much take up all his time and hence enough money should be arranged to take care of the priest and his family. If the priest is not well-versed in homam or Chandi homam, that is no problem. He can be trained. But, the most important thing is that he should be committed to this and devoted to the Mother. If one has the basic simplicity, innocence, devotion and purity, other things will fall in place by themselves. Buying of the land and construction of room and homa kundam (with roof and pillars) is a one-time expense. Salary of the priest and materials like ghee, wood etc for homam are an ongoing expense. This project requires a good amount of money and energy. * * * After a center is established and sadhana progresses in each center, slowly the presence of Mother will be established there. Once that happens, the sadhaka will start making faster progress. As he becomes purer and purere, the sadhana will generate more and more energy. After establishing 4 other centers, a center in Ujjain is to be started. The sadhana being done at the Chandi homam centers will have a catalytic influence on the homam movement and many many people will start doing different kinds of homas around the world. This will have a major impact on dharma in the world. That is what he was told. * * * I did not want to force or impose on anybody. So this has waited. When the time comes, people who will make this happen will come and take charge. Time has probably not yet come for Ujjain. But if there is a village in Gujarat or Maharashtra where you can do this, please consider. But please realize that this requires money commitment and also a committed sadhaka.

Someone sent me a few snippets from an interview posted on her website. Please see below.It is interesting that she considers Ramakrishna Paramahamsa as her guru. It is interesting that Ramakrishna told her she had to "do fire ceremonies and show what is truth" and "at that time the whole world will be peace". This is similar to what my guru was told by Divine Mother when she appeared to him during Shata Chandi homam at Chennai.She told him that many people are and will be born who will perform a short fire ritual on a regular basis, establish sanatana dharma and peace in the world and also make quick spiritual progress individually in that process. Shree Maa's statement about what Ramakrishna told her is along similar lines.My guru was also told by Mother that a few centres of regular Chandi homam should be established around the world, where Chandi homam is done 3 times a day. These places do not need to be near any temples or famous places and can be anywhere. The ritual need not be elaborate. For example, there is no need to offer silk sarees etc in fire. A simple ritual with bare minimum offerings is enough, but it needs to be performed 3 times everyday. When a few such centres are established, it will apparently lead to a chain of events that will help re-establish sanatana dharma.Though not 3 times a day, these people have done a Chandi homam everyday for 3 years in the same place and finished 1000 such homas. That is fantastic! It is the sadhana and purity of sadhakas that creates energy and brings deities to a place. While several ancient temples are without any divine presence these days, new places of divine presence may be created by pure souls engaged in selfless sadhana for establishing dharma in the world.As I mentioned earlier, the sankalpa of the Shata Chandi homam during which Mother appeared and gave instructions to my guru on spreading homam was taken on Ramakrishna' s birth anniversary and the time of sankalpa was within a few minutes from the actual Tithi Pravesha time of the birth anniversary. All of this was a coincidence and we were unaware of this significance when we decided the muhurta. It is interesting to know that Ramakrishna did mention fire ceremonies specifically to somebody and that his words are similar to the words of Mother.Best regards,Narasimha------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -Do a Short Homam Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer.org/ homamDo Pitri Tarpanas Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer.org/ tarpanaSpirituality: http://groups. / group/vedic- wisdomFree Jyotish lessons (MP3): http://vedicastro. home.comcast. netFree Jyotish software (Windows): http://www.VedicAst rologer.orgSri Jagannath Centre (SJC) website: http://www.SriJagan nath.org------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > She considers Shri Ramakrishna as her> Master, has a small ashram here near the Bay Area>> Now here is the very interesting part (snippets from her website> pasted for your benefit), from an interview found here> http://www.shreemaa .org/drupal/ taxonomy_ menu/54/86>> <snip>> Shree Maa: Ramakrishna, my Guru, was telling, "You have to go now for> our country, and all other country, you have to go do fire ceremonies> and show what is truth, what is dignity, and at that time the whole> world will be peace."> </snip>>> Her main disciple is Swami Satyananda Saraswati (of American descent),> that same page describes his background, how he met her and all that;> but another interesting snippet in there:-> <snip>> "At a time when journeying throughout Middle Asia was arduous at best,> he had traveled an unbeaten path to India's interior where he studied> with a number of gurus, coming to embrace the worship of Chandi and> the sacred fire ceremony, the yagya, as his primary system of worship> and meditation, while undertaking great austerities in the process."> <snip>> "They undertook the Sahasra Chandi Yagya, a three year fire ceremony> and worship of the Goddess, without setting foot outside from the> humble temple grounds they established in Martinez, California."> </snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Dear Narsimhaji, I am glad to know this and perhaps I will be the lucky person to start the first center in India. Money is no problem when Jagdamba is with me. I will be happy to be the instrument in this great devine mission. First I will start this at the place near Dwarka. This is the extreme west coast of India. I have stayed there for 7 years and good contacts are there. It may be at Okha port or Near Harsiddhi temple near Dwarka or near Gopnath (?) one of the Dwadash Jyotirlingam near Dwarka. You just pray for me and also tell Manishji also to bless me so that I can succeed. Next I will think for Ujjain. Dr. Ashwin Rawal--- On Fri, 2/27/09, Narasimha P.V.R.

Someone sent me a few snippets from an interview posted on her website. Please see below.It is interesting that she considers Ramakrishna Paramahamsa as her guru. It is interesting that Ramakrishna told her she had to "do fire ceremonies and show what is truth" and "at that time the whole world will be peace". This is similar to what my guru was told by Divine Mother when she appeared to him during Shata Chandi homam at Chennai.She told him that many people are and will be born who will perform a short fire ritual on a regular basis, establish sanatana dharma and peace in the world and also make quick spiritual progress individually in that process. Shree Maa's statement about what Ramakrishna told her is along similar lines.My guru was also told by Mother that a few centres of regular Chandi homam should be established around the world, where Chandi homam is done 3 times a day. These places do not need to be near any temples or famous places and can be anywhere. The ritual need not be elaborate. For example, there is no need to offer silk sarees etc in fire. A simple ritual with bare minimum offerings is enough, but it needs to be performed 3 times everyday. When a few such centres are established, it will apparently lead to a chain of events that will help re-establish sanatana dharma.Though not 3 times a day, these people have done a Chandi homam everyday for 3 years in the same place and finished 1000 such homas. That is fantastic! It is the sadhana and purity of sadhakas that creates energy and brings deities to a place. While several ancient temples are without any divine presence these days, new places of divine presence may be created by pure souls engaged in selfless sadhana for establishing dharma in the world.As I mentioned earlier, the sankalpa of the Shata Chandi homam during which Mother appeared and gave instructions to my guru on spreading homam was taken on Ramakrishna' s birth anniversary and the time of sankalpa was within a few minutes from the actual Tithi Pravesha time of the birth anniversary. All of this was a coincidence and we were unaware of this significance when we decided the muhurta. It is interesting to know that Ramakrishna did mention fire ceremonies specifically to somebody and that his words are similar to the words of Mother.Best regards,Narasimha------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -Do a Short Homam Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer.org/ homamDo Pitri Tarpanas Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer.org/ tarpanaSpirituality: http://groups. / group/vedic- wisdomFree Jyotish lessons (MP3): http://vedicastro. home.comcast. netFree Jyotish software (Windows): http://www.VedicAst rologer.orgSri Jagannath Centre (SJC) website: http://www.SriJagan nath.org------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > She considers Shri Ramakrishna as her> Master, has a small ashram here near the Bay Area>> Now here is the very interesting part (snippets from her website> pasted for your benefit), from an interview found here> http://www.shreemaa .org/drupal/ taxonomy_ menu/54/86>> <snip>> Shree Maa: Ramakrishna, my Guru, was telling, "You have to go now for> our country, and all other country, you have to go do fire ceremonies> and show what is truth, what is dignity, and at that time the whole> world will be peace."> </snip>>> Her main disciple is Swami Satyananda Saraswati (of American descent),> that same page describes his background, how he met her and all that;> but another interesting snippet in there:-> <snip>> "At a time when journeying throughout Middle Asia was arduous at best,> he had traveled an unbeaten path to India's interior where he studied> with a number of gurus, coming to embrace the worship of Chandi and> the sacred fire ceremony, the yagya, as his primary system of worship> and meditation, while undertaking great austerities in the process."> <snip>> "They undertook the Sahasra Chandi Yagya, a three year fire ceremony> and worship of the Goddess, without setting foot outside from the> humble temple grounds they established in Martinez, California."> </snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone sent me a few snippets from an interview posted on her website. Please see below.It is interesting that she considers Ramakrishna Paramahamsa as her guru. It is interesting that Ramakrishna told her she had to "do fire ceremonies and show what is truth" and "at that time the whole world will be peace". This is similar to what my guru was told by Divine Mother when she appeared to him during Shata Chandi homam at Chennai.She told him that many people are and will be born who will perform a short fire ritual on a regular basis, establish sanatana dharma and peace in the world and also make quick spiritual progress individually in that process. Shree Maa's statement about what Ramakrishna told her is along similar lines.My guru was also told by Mother that a few centres of regular Chandi homam should be established around the world, where Chandi homam is done 3 times a day. These places do not need to be near any temples or famous places and can be anywhere. The ritual need not be elaborate. For example, there is no need to offer silk sarees etc in fire. A simple ritual with bare minimum offerings is enough, but it needs to be performed 3 times everyday. When a few such centres are established, it will apparently lead to a chain of events that will help re-establish sanatana dharma.Though not 3 times a day, these people have done a Chandi homam everyday for 3 years in the same place and finished 1000 such homas. That is fantastic! It is the sadhana and purity of sadhakas that creates energy and brings deities to a place.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Namaste Narsimhaji, This is a great idea about starting these centres. Narsimhaji,my father is a businessman.He has his factory in Vasai near Mumbai.In the same premises, but at a little distance he has built a LakshmiNarayan temple.The pranpratishtha was a big event some five years ago.Regular puja is offered at this temple by a purohit.There is a room for the purohit. There is also a big, permanent open havan kund --like the one you have written.We have done a 7-day long MahaVishnu yagya,Bhagvat katha and prvachan over there. What i mean to say is that the infrastructure already exist.If you think this is fine,then please let me know what is to be done further. My Father--Kumar Bihari Pandey,is a very spritual person.He has had schooling only till 6 std.He has not read many scriptures,but he considers Narayani as his mother.He has written two books-Hari Anant Hari Katha Ananta & Narayani.Like you, he too says that he has only written what the mother spoke to him.He is a real bhakt and Karmyogi,and he will be very happy to help in any which way. So Please let me know what you think of this. Regards, Sunita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Dwaraka area is very good, Manish said that an area closer to Girnar mountains (e.g. Junagadh) will be better for this purpose. Please consider his input. Just do it as an offering to the Mother and do it with as little ego or sense of "I am doing this" or "I am doing something important" as possible.

Money is no problem when Jagdamba is with me. I will be happy to be the instrument in this great devine mission. First I will start this at the place near Dwarka. This is the extreme west coast of India. I have stayed there for 7 years and good contacts are there. It may be at Okha port or Near Harsiddhi temple near Dwarka or near Gopnath (?) one of the Dwadash Jyotirlingam near Dwarka. You just pray for me and also tell Manishji also to bless me so that I can succeed. Next I will think for Ujjain. Dr. Ashwin Rawal--- On Fri, 2/27/09, Narasimha P.V.R.

Rao <pvr (AT) charter (DOT) net> Chandi homa centersFriday, February 27, 2009, 4:55 AM  Namaste Ashwin ji, My guru's idea is to start four such centers in east, west, north and south parts of India and then establish one in Ujjain. The idea with each center is as following: It should be in some peaceful and calm place that is easily accessible by modern transportation and yet a little away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. There need not be a big or famous temple nearby. Buy a few acres of land (for possible expansion in future) and construct a homa kundam built in open space with four pillars on the four sides and a high roof on the top to protect from rain. The area is open on all the four sides and covered only on the top. Close to it, a small one or two room structure is built to store materials. A priest or a sadhaka is employed. His main qualification is that he should be a sincere devotee of the Mother and interested in a simple lifestyle dedicated to Her. His job is to do one Chandi homam in the morning, one more in forenoon, have lunch, relax in the afternoon and do one more Chandi homam in the evening. Keep doing it day in and day out. There are no idols to worship and no other rituals to do. This will pretty much take up all his time and hence enough money should be arranged to take care of the priest and his family. If the priest is not well-versed in homam or Chandi homam, that is no problem. He can be trained. But, the most important thing is that he should be committed to this and devoted to the Mother. If one has the basic simplicity, innocence, devotion and purity, other things will fall in place by themselves. Buying of the land and construction of room and homa kundam (with roof and pillars) is a one-time expense. Salary of the priest and materials like ghee, wood etc for homam are an ongoing expense. This project requires a good amount of money and energy. * * * After a center is established and sadhana progresses in each center, slowly the presence of Mother will be established there. Once that happens, the sadhaka will start making faster progress. As he becomes purer and purere, the sadhana will generate more and more energy. After establishing 4 other centers, a center in Ujjain is to be started. The sadhana being done at the Chandi homam centers will have a catalytic influence on the homam movement and many many people will start doing different kinds of homas around the world. This will have a major impact on dharma in the world. That is what he was told. * * * I did not want to force or impose on anybody. So this has waited. When the time comes, people who will make this happen will come and take charge. Time has probably not yet come for Ujjain. But if there is a village in Gujarat or Maharashtra where you can do this, please consider. But please realize that this requires money commitment and also a committed sadhaka.

Others were not mentioned specifically. As I said, these things require resources. But if the Mother really wants, it will happen. She told to teach simple homam procedures and we were gifted several books on homam by that temple priest on the very next day, without even asking. Just as She said, everything has been nicely arranged so far. Regarding these centres of Chandi homam also, I am confident that She will show the direction when time comes. Until then, I will keep doing my individual sadhana, teach various homam procedures and answer queries from interested sadhakas to the best of my ability. What needs to happen will happen when the time comes.

I am pleased that some other people (e.g. Shree Maa and her sishya) have done regular Chandi homam for a duration of time. But, establishing the centres as per Mother's instruction, including the main one in Ujjain, has not happened yet. It requires resources that we do not have now. Perhaps the time has not come yet..

Rao <pvr (AT) charter (DOT) net> Shree Maa (Re: Question on Kunjika Stotra)Tuesday, 24 February, 2009, 9:43 AM Namaste friends,Shree Maa was referred to here. Someone sent me a few snippets from an interview posted on her website. Please see below.It is interesting that she considers Ramakrishna Paramahamsa as her guru. It is interesting that Ramakrishna told her she had to "do fire ceremonies and show what is truth" and "at that time the whole world will be peace". This is similar to what my guru was told by Divine Mother when she appeared to him during Shata Chandi homam at Chennai.She told him that many people are and will be born who will perform a short fire ritual on a regular basis, establish sanatana dharma and peace in the world and also make quick spiritual progress individually in that process. Shree Maa's statement about what Ramakrishna told her is along similar lines.My guru was also told by Mother that a few centres of regular Chandi homam should be established around the world, where Chandi homam is done 3 times a day. These places do not need to be near any temples or famous places and can be anywhere. The ritual need not be elaborate. For example, there is no need to offer silk sarees etc in fire. A simple ritual with bare minimum offerings is enough, but it needs to be performed 3 times everyday. When a few such centres are established, it will apparently lead to a chain of events that will help re-establish sanatana dharma.Though not 3 times a day, these people have done a Chandi homam everyday for 3 years in the same place and finished 1000 such homas. That is fantastic! It is the sadhana and purity of sadhakas that creates energy and brings deities to a place. While several ancient temples are without any divine presence these days, new places of divine presence may be created by pure souls engaged in selfless sadhana for establishing dharma in the world.As I mentioned earlier, the sankalpa of the Shata Chandi homam during which Mother appeared and gave instructions to my guru on spreading homam was taken on Ramakrishna' s birth anniversary and the time of sankalpa was within a few minutes from the actual Tithi Pravesha time of the birth anniversary.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Namaste, If your father has the inclination, the next thing to be done is to see if the financial resources are there. Apart from the infrastructure, money is needed for the materials on an ongoing basis. Then find a sadhaka (can be a purohit or a yogi or a normal person) who is devoted to the Mother and interested in doing Chandi homam 3 times a day. Then make arrangements for buying the materials, storing them and start homam. This need not be on a grand scale, but the person doing should be simple and devoted.
