Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Namaste 1)While doing homam can we move the coconut pieces that are there in the havan kund, so that they get burned easily. i asked it becoz would it be right to poke in the fire with a stick while we are actually assuming Ganpati is in that fire and the idol at that time. 2)Almost every time some pieces are left unburnt, so i do not remove the remains from the kund and next time use it as it is and add fresh pieces of coconut.Is it fine??

Yes. You can empty the ash and keep the unburnt or partially burnt pieces for the next homam. Regards Narayan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Namaste Jiten, 1) Yes, as Naraayan replied, i too agree and practically i suppose, anybody who does homam needs to do that. 2) I am little surprised with this point. i am not facing this problem my self. very rarely i've observed that some coconut pieces are left un-burnt. I can point out one prime cause here. It has been observed that if you place coconut pieces where white portion remains up (pieces rest on dark side) then there are all the chances that pieces may not burnt fully. this is my personal experience. so i can suggest few things as under: - Keep Dark side up - Keep the pieces such that they don't pile on each other. - Keep the pieces such a way that it forms a pyramid shape (top of that shape is opened so that Aahuti can be offered conveniently in that. i mean, there should be a scope for air to pass under the pieces. It is my experience that coconut peices do get burnt completely.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Pranam, i too move the coconut pieces in the homam to ensure that they are burnt completely. have done a few experiments like resting a big piece on smaller pieces so that there is passage of air underneath the big piece. When the fire starts subsiding i turn the piece upside down to ensure that both sides burn completely. Sometime the piece crumbles while turning it...but some solid portion always remains waiting to be burnt. At the end of the havan when the kund is emptied there are generally some slivers of burnt coconut left that have not been completely reduced to ashes. i think of them as solid hard core karmas/impurities/ego that need dissolution. :) love and best wishes , " utpal pathak " <vedic_pathak wrote: > > Namaste Jiten, > > 1) Yes, as Naraayan replied, i too agree and practically i suppose, anybody who does homam needs to do that. > > 2) I am little surprised with this point. i am not facing this problem my self. very rarely i've observed that some coconut pieces are left un-burnt. > > I can point out one prime cause here.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Namaste, It depends on you as to which form you want to worship. There are many forms like Raja Ganapathi, Lakshmi Ganapathi, etc. Each having a particular form and mantra, which is specified in the Dhyanam. If you are not specific, you can just visualize any form you may want. However, for the worship to be more effective, Rishis have provided Dhyanam followed by the particular mantra of that form, to help us visualize and concentrate better.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Namaste, clarifying a small mistake in my message - i *used to* turn it upside down in the past when i was placing the pieces with white portion up. now that is not needed most of the times. rgds utpal , " utpal pathak " <vedic_pathak wrote: > > namaste, > >i too move the coconut pieces in the homam to ensure that they are >burnt completely. have done a few experiments like resting a big >piece on smaller pieces so that there is passage of air underneath >the big piece.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Namaste, i think we have to discover our own techniques to ensure that the pieces burn completely. i continue to place the white side up. the shape of the cocunut being curved this nicely accomodates the kapoor by the side. As a result the dark side burns first from the bottom up and in no time engulfs the whole piece. A smaller piece to rest the bigger piece ensures that air circulates at the bottom. generally the middle part, the " core " remains unburnt. but when the side is inverted...made upside down, it ensures that the middle part also gets burnt. best wishes , " utpal pathak " <vedic_pathak wrote: > > Namaste, > > clarifying a small mistake in my message - i *used to* turn it upside down in the past when i was placing the pieces with white portion up. now that is not needed most of the times. > > rgds > utpal > > , " utpal pathak " <vedic_pathak@> wrote: > > > > namaste, > > >i too move the coconut pieces in the homam to ensure that they are >burnt completely. have done a few experiments like resting a big >piece on smaller pieces so that there is passage of air underneath >the big piece.
