Homam and its Health Benefits
Overview Of HOMAM
According to Bharatiya vaidika Siddhanta(commandment of Indian philosophical strategy) performing Homam("votive ritual: offerings into a consecrated fire) is a highly appreciated program. The procedure of conducting or performing Homam depends on the purpose of what we want to do.
Homam varies from one to another, the procedure depends on the selected God. Homam is the indirect carrying of our offerings to homa head.sice all offerings are submitted to God Agni, we in Bharatiya vaidika siddantha (INDIAN PHILOSOPHICAL STRATEGY) called it Havisu.
Is being carried by God Agni to the selected God through mantra(sacred uttering or chanting words). uttering mantras till the completion of the said literature along with havisu is called homam, in the end of homam, we conclude with poornahuthi ( HOLOCAUST) in that Holocaust.
We offer different materials tied in pure silk cloth (pattu Vastram} along with poorahuthi mantra and pouring cow ghee into the homa Gundam (a pit in the ground where the sacrificial fire is maintained and to which sacrificial oblations are offered) This is the actual procedure of performing Homam. This system of Homam was followed by maharishis, Rajas , and people for ages.
Homam is the high valid Vedic Kharma ( ancient theory of the Indian revere system). In few regions of indian families were used to do Agni prathista(evolving new fire ) and then only start their domestic activities like pooja, prayer,Homam and cooking etc.
That was the importance given in ancient days. Even to evolve cookingfire housewives used to chant some mantra while evolving cookingfire.
Fire is an one element out of pancha bhootas (5 natural elements like space, water, fire,air and earth are revered as pancha bhootas in indian philosophy) used to be utilized sacredly in the indian living style also. So the fire was used in homam as an agent of carrying havisu to the selected god of the homam. By that, they were blessed of getting sanctioned the wishes by the homam god .
Homams are conducted to fulfill their own wishes and wants also for the sake of sosiety or countries peoples safety and pleasant lives. few homams are meant for rescuing people from evil elements, like CORONA, WARS, etc.
