Starting from tomorrow, the auspicious Navaratri Homas will begin at Bangalore Ashram in presence of Sri Sri!
We have the many Homas (details shared below), and each one is very powerful in it's own way.
Vedic mantras are chanted during the Homas which purify the atmosphere and the mind.
In case you are not able to come to Bangalore Ashram you can still benefit from all these sacred Homas sitting at your home via the Live and Recorded webcast!
All recorded videos will be available till 16 October 12 pm IST for viewing!
Schedule of Live Webcast of Rudra Puja and Homas (subject to change)
Details on Homas
Sri Maha Ganapati Homa:
This homa is offered to that aspect of divinity which removes all obstacles to our growth and success. It is for clearing all impediments and attracting auspiciousness in our lives. Ganapati Homa is done before the start of any new project or venture.
Navgraha Homa:
Everything in creation is connected, and the all the various spheres in the universe mutually affect each other. Everything influences everything else. This homa is done to honor these influences; to reduce negative influences that enter our lives; and to increase positive influences.
Sri Maha Rudra Homa:
We invite all auspiciousness into our lives. This is one of the most ancient homas from the text of the Vedas. It is done to transform stagnancy and for overall prosperity, health, happiness, success and removal of obstructions. It is offered to the one who removes misery.
Sri Maha Sudarshan Homa:
This homa is offered to the sustainer of life, which blesses us with the right vision. It is to remove ignorance and usher in a new life overflowing with knowledge. It is especially for removing confusion and mental blocks and giving clarity. Chanting of Vishnu Sahasranama: Sahasranaam literally means "the thousand names". This chanting is done for bringing success in life. It is offered to honor the sustaining energy in creation.
Sri Nava Chandi Homa:
The Chandi Homa marks the pinnacle of all the Navratri homas. It is performed to remove negative tendencies and obstacles to growth, both in ourselves and in the environment. Its purpose is also to increase strength, vigor and confidence. It is offered to that quality of Divinity that protects and us and nurtures creativity.
Rishi Homa:
This homa is done in gratitude to all the enlightened masters. It honors all the seers and sages of the past, present and future.
Yagya during Navratri
When many people get together and do something collectively, that is called 'yagya' or 'yagna'. There are many types of 'yagya'.
1. 'Dravya Yagya'- In which a lot of substances are used. 108 types of different herbs, fruits etc are used.
2. 'Gyaan Yagya' - Discussing the knowledge.
3. 'Japa Yagya'- Singing and chanting of mantras.
These bring purity, prosperity, peace and harmony to all. The whole environment becomes lively. There are three types of miseries: one from outside world, other one from deep inside you, due to karma and the third one is due to the subtle mind. So Navratri is that which gives you rest from all three types of miseries. Mind works in action. When you sleep, what happens? You get relief from the world, relief from the mind, and relief from everything. That is why Navratri is called, the nine nights of complete self-referral activity. Tenth day of the 'yagya' is the Victory Day.
Jai Guru Dev :-)
