The power of the Homam



Homam is a sacrament performed to a particular divine being by appeasing

'Agni', the lord of fire. Sun in the Hindu worldview, is considered, as the

main source of energy in the universe and fire is believed to be symbolic of

the sun. Any offering to fire is also termed as an offering to the Sun.



Therefore Homam is performed in order to invoke prosperity by energizing and

protecting the environment.

Homam are performed as per the specifications given by the scriptures. It

has to be conducted by learned Vedic scholars. It is believed that the

chanting of the mantras while performing a Homam in a group lends a lot of

power and grace to the activity.

mantra varies with the purpose of the Homam being performed). The recitation

is accompanied with offerings made into the sacrificial fire invoking the

astrological calculations (and beliefs) (and not the nine planets as it is

frequently erroneously translated). The sun, the moon, mars, mercury,

jupiter, venus, saturn and the two shadow planets Rahu and Ketu constitute

the Navagrahas.

The nine "grahas" or planets in our horoscope control our karma, our desires

and their outcomes. Each of these nine planets exerts an influence in our

lives, which is called "dasa" and it can be known from one's horoscope.

Navagraha Puja is undertaken to reduce the negative effects and improve the

positive energies related to a person.
