Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Namaste, It is fine to do multiple homas in the same fire, if the persons doing it have intertwined karmas. If one starts a fire and makes offerings, an association is made between one's internal fire and that fire. It will continue to some extent even after homam finishes, as long as the fire keeps going. If another person makes an association between the same fire and internal fire, then there is some karmik interchange between the persons. If the other person is someone that you do not mind sharing some of your karmas and karmaphalas with, then it should be fine. Usually, karmas of parents and children, wife and husband etc are anyway strongly intertwined in many ways. It should be ok for them to do homam in the same fire, either together or one after the other.

After completion of the Homam, my mother felt like doing Sri Ganapathi Artharvashirsa so she sat down and contined in the same agni. Is it advisable to do multiple pujas in the same agni or should we start over again (rekindling)? She did do the sankalpa again.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Namaste,In our local temple here in upstate NY, several people sponsor a homa. All the sponsors (say, 4 or 5 persons - most unrelated to one another) gather around the homa kundam and offer ahutis. How does the concept of intertwining of individual karmas and karmaphalas among affect this? Regards,Narasimhaswamy BanavaraNarasimha P.V.R.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Namaste, I have seen this done by many priests, though some priests do the right thing and make it a point to have a separate homa kundam for each person. When you give things and take things and when you do things together, there is already an intertwining of karmas. However, fire worship amplifies things. If five people together are cooking some food for their dinner, it takes one person putting a bad ingredient in it to spoil it. It leaves a bad taste in all their mouths. It is a good idea for them to cook separately. Similarly, one person having bad thoughts while making offerings in fire can spoil things for everyone. Of course, whatever happens happens for cleansing only. But, why share somebody else's dirt and then get it cleaned? When some groups of people who are very similar in attitude and thinking do a homam together, it may be fine. But, it is better to be conservative with this. Of course, if you are a realized person with no distinction of opposites, all this is irrelavent. But remember one thing: A tree can share its flowers and fruits with all. But, when young as a plant, it should be protected. Then it can give more to the world later.
