When one performs ho:ma sincerely and accurately (samyak) with right manthra while offering pure inputs such as ghee and wood, the resulting smoke (homa dhu:ma) touches and empowers the rays of sun (a:dithya). Those sanctified sun rays attract water from the Earth, forming clouds releasing pure energised rainwater (vrushti). Such sanctified rainwater produces healthy food (annam). Such sanctified healthy food makes the people (praja:ha) immune to many illnesses.

Sa:sthra says…
agnou pra:stha a:huthi samyak
a:dithyam upathishtathe:
a:ditya:th ja:yathe: vrushtihi
vrushte:he annam
thathah praja:ha

It has been over two years with COVID seeing many suffer and lose lives due to lack of immune power in the bodies. Isn’t it time to take the path of the ancient scientists, the rushis who guided people of those days with formulae for sustained lifestyle? Such ho:mas help not only yield a healthy crop but also purify the air. We are in dire need of both the benefits today!

Does that mean I perform ho:ma at my home?

A ho:ma requires the doer to have sankalpa suddhi (righteous intent), manthra suddhi (perfect intonation of correct manthra), and dravya suddhi (pure ingredients). The process needs to be accurate such as

  • the ho:makunda, the sacrificial fire spot must be set up in the right process
  • it needs to have the right protective set up
  • offer a:huthi of defined pure ingredients, a physical act
  • chant manthra, a divine act adding energy to the a:huthi
  • and many more…

Homa – an antidote to poisonous pollutants!

On December 3rd, 1984 there was a tragic incident in Bhopal when poisonous gas MIC leaked from Union Carbide factory. Hundreds of people died, and thousands were hospitalised but there were two families who lived within one mile from the gas plant but did not suffer anything from the leak. These two families were regularly performing ho:ma.

As part of Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi Samaroham, the 1000th birth year celebrations of Bhagavad Ramanujacharya, the pioneer acharya, HH Sri ChinnaJeeyar Swamiji is leading the magnanimous Sri Lakshmi Narayana krathu with 1035 ho:makundas!

Swamiji is setting an example to the world on how one must secure the pure ghee using only desi cow milk, firewood using desi cow dung sticks, and guiding the entire procedure to conduct the ho:ma.
