In the past three posts I have mentioned that during the homam, we should chant the Puvanai mantra. The ingredients used in the homam varies but the mantras are same. We shall first see about the goddess Puvanai and then see the way of attaining her blessings.
We have seen about the Vaalai, the goddess worshipped by the Siththars in a previus post. The goddess is in the form of a child and to read more information about the goddess, supreme god to the Siththars!!
The Puvanai goddess is present everywhere in the universe in an inseparable form. The Siththars say that the Puvanai goddess is in the form of the mother of the Vaalai goddess, who is in the form of a child. This goddess has got a form which does not have a form. The Siththars say that without the blessings of this goddess nothing is possible.
Agathiyar narrates the method of homam in the following way.
"பாரப்பா யின்னமொரு பாகங்கேளு
paarappaa yinnamoru paakangaelu
பத்தியுடன் கோதுமைகொண் டோமம்பண்ண
paththiyudan koathumaikon doamampanna
வீரப்பா கொண்டதொரு அபமிருத்து
veerappaa kondathoru apamiruththu
மெஞ்ஞான பூரணத்தால் விலகும்பாரே
menjaana pooranaththaal vilakumpaarae
நேரப்பா அபமிருத்து விலகித்தானால்
naerappaa apamiruththu vilakiththaanaal
நினைத்தபடி முடிக்கவண்ணம் நிசந்தான்பாரு
ninaiththapadi mudikkavannam nisanthaanpaaru
காரப்பா கருணைவளறர் புவனைதன்னால்
karappaa karunaivalarar puvanaithannaal
கண்காண இன்னம்வெகு கடாட்சமே
kankaana innamvegu kadaatchamae"
- அகத்தியர் (Agathiyar)
For this homam, a round shaped homa kundam has to be used. The person performing the homam should sit facing the east direction. In the homa kundam we should grow fire using the sticks of the banyan tree. While developing the fire we should chant the moola mantra of fire.
“ஓம் அரிஓம் கோடிப்பிரகாசம் அக்கினியே அகோரா அங் உங் இங் வாவா லம் பட் சுவாகா
om ariom koadippirakaasam akkiniyae akoaraa an gung ing vaavaa lam pat suvaakaa”
After the fire grows fully, add wheat into it and chant the Puvanai mantra for 1008 times. On doing this we will get the blessings of the Puvanai goddess.
The following is the Puvanai mantra:
“ஓம் ஐயும் கிலியும் சவ்வும் சவ்வும் கிலியும் ஐயும் வாவா புவனை பரமேஸ்வரி பஞ்சாட்சரி ஆனந்தரூபி சுவாகா
om aiyum kiliyum savvum savvum kiliyum aiyum vaavaa Puvaanai Parameswari panchaatchari aanantharoopi suvaakaa.”
Like this if we chant mantra for 1008 times by adding wheat into the homa kundam, we can attain the blessings of Puvanai. Along with that we shall get many other benefits also. Those who believe this can do this homam in home itself.
Those who really believe in it can get the blessings of the guru and attempt to do it.
In the next post we shall see about the homam that removes the sin and gives the wealth.
