Prithyankara Devi Homa Pooja Conducted on 23.06.2017 Friday Evening 6.00 PM to 8.30 PM Please Call this Number 90710 74433 /94824 22312
Performing this puja is the main prayer commitment in this temple. To the best of their ability, devotees offer items needed for the Nikumbala Yagam, attend it with deep devotion and pray to the Goddess. Sri Maha Prathyangira Devi is a powerful Devi who is said to have destroyed Sarabeshwara's arrogance. (Sarabheswara is an avatar of Siva). She is also known as Narasimhika (in the Kalisahasranama Stotram): She who is the Ferocious Half Human Half Lion of Courage. It is said that when Narashimhika shakes her Lion's Mane, she throws the stars into disarray. She is enveloped as bliss in the letter "Ksham".
Puranas tell of different origins for Maha Prathiyangara Devi. Some say that Prathiyangara Devi emerged out from the third eye of Sarabheswarar (manifestation of Lord Shiva) with 1,008 lion faces, 2,016 hands and a blood-stained tongue protruding out. She helped to reduce the ferocity of Lord Narashima.
Others say that when all the Gods were helpless to pacify Lord Narashima, the three Goddess Parvathi Devi, Saraswathi Devi and Lakshmi Devi created Prathiyangara Devi and sent her to fierce Lord Narashima, who was destroying the whole world after he extinguished the Demon King Hiranyakashipu. When Prathiyangara Devi sat on Lord Narashima's thigh he was calmed down.
Some believe that in ancient times when two rishis, Prathiyangira and Angiras, were meditating, they discovered a goddess through a Moola Mantram who was nameless. Later she privileged the rishis by naming herself after them, and hence she was called Prathiyangara Devi.

The Significance of Maha Ganapathi Homam What is Homam Homam is a fire ritual. It is also known as homa or havan or yajna (yagya) or yajana. In homam, divine presence is invoked into fire using specific procedures. Then materials are offered into fire, along with sacred chants (mantras). The offerings are destined to reach gods. It is worth noting that fire ritual is an ancient practice. Why Homam Hinduism teaches that gods come into fire and receive the prayers of spiritual aspirants. Even when one meditates without an external fire, gods being meditated on come into the internal fire of the aspirant and receive the mantras via that fire. However, the internal fire is quite weaker than an external fire for most people and hence it is beneficial to perform worship using an external fire. That practice eventually strengthens the internal fire also. We all see and feel our sthoola sareera (gross body), which is made up of gross matter. But, we also have a sookshma sareera (subtle body) made up of subtle matter. It cannot be perceived by the senses attached to the gross body (eyes, ears, nose etc). It contains thousands of naadis, which are essentially subtle channels of energy flow. A fire called bhootaagni (existential fire) burns in this subtle body. It is the subtle basis of one’s entire existence. It manifests in the gross body in the form of various fires. Examples are the “fire” in the stomach that helps one digest the food eaten and the “fire” in the brain that helps one digest and understand various sense experiences. This bhootaagni is vital to one’s existence. In most people, it is quite weak. Due to impurities and obstructions in the naadis of the subtle body, this fire cannot burn strongly to energize the entire existence. When it burns low, the divine presence that can enter it is quite limited in magnitude. If one overcomes the internal weaknesses such as desire, anger, greed, false prestige, wantonness and jealousy, develops compassion, one-pointed devotion, detachment, and sheds one layer of ego and delusion after another, eventually the impurities in the naadis will be cleared and bhootaagni will burn strong. However, this is a very difficult and requires strong dedication. One can take advantage of an external fire in that regard. As the deity of homam enters the external fire on a regular basis, the nearby divine presence burns the impurities in the naadis, by burning various karmas (actions from the past, which will get corresponding reactions in the future) in the kaarana sareera (causal body). This eventually leads to the strengthening of bhootaagni. After one performs homam for a long enough time, one’s naadis are cleared of the obstructions and one’s bhootaagni burns brightly. At that juncture, all sadhanas performed by one, including regular meditation, become much more effective. If bhootaagni can accommodate divine presence to a larger degree, the meditation becomes more effective. The goal of all spiritual sadhana is to cleanse oneself of all the internal impurities. When one burns all of one’s major karmas, one becomes karmically very light. Nadis in the sookshma sareera are all clear and energy can freely flow anywhere. One is untouched by the internal enemies kaama (desire), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (delusion), mada (wantonness) and maatsarya (jealosy) then. When one sees all as god, nothing can make one angry or jealous or deluded. When the wrong mental conditioning drops, nothing excites one and nothing saddens one. One stays in a state of bliss always. Despite the changing nature of the external work and appearance, one is in the same state internally. The goal of all spiritual sadhana is to reach that state. Whether through jnaana (knowledge and wisdom) or through bhakti (devotion and surrender) or both, one has to burn the karmas and impurities blocking one from reaching that state. Homam facilitates this process quickly by burning various karmas which have created various layers of conditioning and thereby obstructing spiritual progress. A lot of Hindu rituals involve invoking divine presence in an idol or a water pot (kalasha) and offering worship to the idol/pot. One of the best mediums for sadhana is fire. One of the Sanskrit words for “fire” is “paavaka”, which means “the one that purifies”. Fire is by definition pure and purifies everything that it comes in touch with. Homam is the most apt sadhana for most spiritual aspirants in this Kali yuga, especially as the Kali deepens. Some people have unfounded fears of making mistakes during homam and being punished for them and hence do not take advantage of the fantastic practice of homam. Apart from the personal benefits, there are universal benefits of homam. What is special about Shri Ganapathi Ganapathi homam is performed to beget happiness, prosperity and good health. Anyone is desirous of praying to any God to remove any obstacles in any of his plan/ work/Business /action and also to be victorious in his deeds always pray to Lord Ganesha. Ganapathi homam can be performed to please Kethu and hence anyone who has Kethu dasa or bhukthi or wishes to appease Kethu can participate in the homam. Performing Ganapathy Homam once every year gives prosperity, health and wealth. As per ganesh puran many types of ganapathi homam can be done: Mahaganapathi Homam, Asthadravya Ganapathi Homam, Sahasra modaka Ganapathi Homam. Performing Maha ganapathi homam during sankata hara chathurthi is deemed very special. To perform Ganapathy Homa the following materials are essential. Ghee, Modhaka (a kind of sweet prepared with coconut, gur and rice flour or wheat flour), durva (a kind of grass). Mahaganapathi Homa is performed with Ashta Dravya (a mixture of eight materials) 1.Coconut, 2.Banana, 3.Honey, 4.Sugarcane, 5.Ghee, 6.Modhaka, 7.Jaggery, 8.Puffed rice. During Sankatahara Chathurthi apart from ghee, all varieties of flowers, fruits, sweets, etc., which may count up to 108 dravyas (materials) can be used.

Vastu Homam Indira Nagar Bangalore -Karthik Gurukkal 9482422312

Vastu Homam

Vastu Homam also Vastu Veda, ( "science of construction", "architecture") is a traditional Hindu system of design based on directional alignments. It is primarily applied in Hindu architecture, especially for Hindu temples, although it covers other applications, including poetry, dance, sculpture, etc. The foundation of Vastu is traditionally ascribed to the mythical sage Mamuni Mayan.

The Vastu Purusha Mandala is an indispensable part of vastu shastra and constitutes the mathematical and diagrammatic basis for generating design. It is the metaphysical plan of a building that incorporates the course of the heavenly bodies and supernatural forces. Purusha refers to energy, power, soul or cosmic man. Mandala is the generic name for any plan or chart which symbolically represents the cosmos.

In Hindu cosmology the surface of the earth is represented as a square, the most fundamental of all Hindu forms. The earth is represented as four-cornered in reference to the horizon's relationship with sunrise and sunset, the North and South direction. It is called Chaturbhuji (four cornered) and represented in the form of the Prithvi Mandala. The astrological charts or horoscopes also represent in a square plan the positions of the sun, moon, planets and zodiac constellations with reference to a specific person's place and time of birth.

The legend of the Vastu Purusha is related thus. Once a formless being blocked the heaven from the earth and Brahma with many other gods trapped him to the ground. This incident is depicted graphically in the Vastu Purusha Mandala with portions allocated hierarchically to each deity based on their contributions and positions. Brahma occupied the central portion - the Brahmasthana- and other gods were distributed around in a concentric pattern. There are 45 gods in all including 32 outer deities.

The preciding gods of each direction

• East- Indra- Ruled by the solar deity- Aditya (Seeing the world)
• Southeast- Agni- Ruled by the fire deity - Agni (Energy Generating).
• South- Yama- Ruled by lord of death - Yama (Damaging).
• Southwest- Pitru/Nairutya, Niruthi- Ruled by ancestors (History).
• West- Varuna- Ruled by lord of water (Physical).
• Northwest- Vayu- ruled by the god of winds (Advertisement).
• North- Kubera- Ruled by lord of wealth (Finance).
• Center- Brahma- Ruled by the creator of the universe (Desire).

The Vastu Purusha is the presiding deity of any site. Usually he is depicted as lying on it with the head in the northeast and legs in the southwest but he keeps changing position throughout the year.
