Question on the essential quality of fire based worship

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimhaji,

 

I used your Homam manual to do the Mahamrityunjaya mantra. I have done

this several times now over the past few weeks, early on Sunday

mornings. The thing that concerns me is that there is an unmistakably

negative effect on one member of my family, and that person has a very

strong exalted, simhasanamsa, unafflicted, badhakesh Sun conjoining AK

Mercury. I see this (the correlation between my doing the homam and the

negative effect) over and over and over again, it doesnt seem to be my

imagination. I dont want to go too deep in the details.

 

I know you cant analyze anything based on such little detail, but

clearly fire-based worship does seem to " play up " the agni-tattwa and

related planets, no? Are there " cooler " , perhaps water-based forms of

worship too? After these thoughts came to my head, I saw that you have a

Pitri tarpana manual and it is water-based(!) as well.. But I dont

understand it well. Can you please explain a bit of the astrology of

these worships - am I mistaken in noting this increase in agni-tattwa

based planets, and " wanting " " cooler " forms of worship? A long time ago,

I started listening to/chanting the Gayatri mantra, and I only saw

positive effects there (but there was no fire involved)..

 

Thank you very much in advance,
