Mrityunjaya Homa
The Mrityunjaya Homa is a highly regarded ancient Indian ceremony specially conducted to appeal to the supreme god in both forms. It is carried out by seeking divine mercy towards healing, longevity and averting the possibility of living a short life. It is most useful in dealing with people with serious health problems and those who wish to improve their spirituality.
Procedure
The first is the fixing of the date and time for the performance of the homa, as it has been noted that this is also very instrumental in the success of the ritual. The conduct of the event is presided over by a learned priest who performs the prescribed prayers, which include reciting mantras, during which he recites verses from the Rig Veda. Articles like ghee, rice and other herbs are poured into the homa Kumba, signifying offering one’s worries and fears to God. As a rule, it is about several hours, as communally and even individually there is no hurry and the focus remains on the intentions and meditation practices of the groups.
