We have found the information related to so many homam told many Siththars like Agathiyar. I have also shared some of the rare homam told by Agathiyar. Taking the length of the series into the consideration, I wish to stop the posts of the homam with this. So far till the past 13 posts, I have received so many queries through the comments and emails. I will give clarifications to those questions in this post.
As per our Hindu tradition it is believed that only the people of higher community should do these homams. They were only doing this homam on behalf of everyone. The Siththars broke this practice and Anybody with necessity and interest can do these homams. They believe that there should not be any brokers.
We should also get cleared about another opinion of the Siththars. The Siththars have written the songs with a reason that their disciples should get benefited out of it. But there is no information that these homam are to be done for the sake of the welfare of others. Hence if we do the homam by ourselves for our benefits it is very much preferable.
It is also told that the homa kundam are to be built on the land only. Even if we do it in home also we do it by spreading the mud on the land and then build the homa kundam on it and do the homam. Also the homa kundam has to be made out of clay only. The homa kundam has to be built in such a way that the exterior of it has five rows and the inner part is of round shape.
The person performing the homam has to sit facing the east direction. Also for writing on the homa kundam also we should the rice powder only. Both at the beginning and end of the homam, we should think about the guru. Only by doing this way the homam will attain completeness.
As per my view the homam is a scientific practice only. While searching the reason for it we may find many other interesting facts. In future if I am blessed with the grace of the guru I shall share those details also.
