I will share some of the homams in the upcoming posts. In the previous posts we have seen about the things used in the homams. Anybody can attempt to do these homams. The Siththars completely disagree with the idea that people of certain community only should perform homam.
Anybody can do these homams for attaining the blessings of the gurus. There are no unnecessary expenses in this. Now let us see the homam that relieves from the navagraha’s (nine planets) effect told by Agathiyar.
In astrology there would be nobody who can escape from the effects of the navagrahas. There are so many ways said to get relieved and reduce the effects of the navagrahas. We believe that the methods which are done by spending lots of money could give the right results. Agathiyar says about a less expensive homam in the following way.
"காணவே இன்னமொரு கருமானங்கேள்
kaanavae innamoru karumaanangael
கருணைவளர் புலத்தியனே கருணை கூர்ந்து
karunaivalar Pulaththiyanae karunai koornthu
பேணவே ஓமகுண்டம் நன்றாய்ச் செய்து
paenavae oamakundam nanraaich seithu
பிலமான அக்கினியை லரசால்செய்து
pilamaana akkiniyai larasaalseithu
பூணவே புவனையுட மந்திரந்தன்னால்
poonavae puvanaiyuda manhthiranthannil
புத்தியுடன் எள்ப்பொரிகொண் டோமாமம்பண்ணு
puththiyudan elpporikon doamaampannu
தோணவே கிரகமதில் நின்றதோஷந்
thoanavae kirakamathil ninrathoshan
சுத்தமுட நீக்குமடா நித்தம்பாரே
suththamuda neekkumadaa niththampaarae"
- அகத்தியர் (Agathiyar)
Make a hexagonal homa kundam and the person who is performing the homam has to be seated facing the east direction. Start the homam by praying to the guru and the traditional family deity. Light the fire in the homa kundam using the sticks of the banyan tree. While lighting the fire we should chant the moola mantra of fire. The following is the mantra.
"ஓம் அரிஓம் கோடிப்பிரகாசம் அக்கினியே அகோரா அங் உங் இங் வாவா லம் பட் சுவாகா
om ariom koadippirakaasam akkiniyae akoara ang ung ing vaavaa lam pat suvaakaa"
After developing the fire chant the following mantra of Puvanai.
"ஓம் ஐயும் கிலியும் சவ்வும் சவ்வும் கிலியும் ஐயும் வாவா புவனை பரமேஸ்வரி பஞ்சாட்சரி ஆனந்தரூபி சுவாகா
om aiyum kiliyum savvum savvum kiliyum aiyum vaavaa puvanai paramaesvari panjaatchari aananhtharoopi suvaakaa"
While chanting this mantra drop puffed sesame into the fire. Chanting this mantra 1008 times will reveal you from the dosha (defects) says Agathiyar.
Isn’t it simple? Those who are interested can attempt to do it.
In the next post we shall see the homam that results with the blessing of a kid.
