October 3rd Homa

Yesterday, the Aadheenam began its new phase with a homa. This sacred fire ritual is among the oldest of sacred Hindu practices and Gurudeva asked that it be performed every week in Kadavul temple. A sanctified fire acts as an in-between, a channel for energies to pass between the Bhuloka (earth plane) and Devaloka (astral realm) and the Sivaloka (heaven worlds of the Gods). The practice of burning written prayers is a very important part of our morning homa, as the burned notes create an astral counterpart which can then be read by the devas and acted upon. The monks use this means to communicate very clearly with the inner worlds, coordinating events, travels and many other small or large tasks. Just as one would communicate with someone in a physical body, clarity and practical information are always appreciated.

The morning's notes from devotees and monks were burned and the homa soon concluded, to be followed by an upadesha from Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami.

    Oh I wish I could have made it to the smashing conclusion of Dewali Vijai. Jai Sri Ram Jai Hanumann Om Jai Sri Ganesh. I guess the time change makes days different. Sankat Mochan Temple at Mount Madonna, has their celebration and DRY WEATHER will not allow burning of anything. Only singing God’s name., and try playing those rain sticks at the temple……..worked for me. I’ll ( zi’ll ) be singing gods name in Hawaii in the little green church today. Yes ,God resides and infact is One. Any Hanuman fellowship people on the Kauai island???
