Sri Vidya Homa and Pooja...
The Sri Vidya homa (fire offering) and the
Sri Vidya pooja are performed to completely cleanse the
space of the house and to heal those present at the physical
and mental planes.
The Sri Vidya pooja is performed with the Maha
Meru which is a mystical construction representing the
Cosmos. It has subtle-energies polarized and embedded in it
in the form of letters of the alphabet, each of which represents
a chant, the attributed Deity, the carriage or vehicle on
which the Deity sits, the herb or tree to which it belongs
and the corresponding body part of the human beings which
it controls. Therefore the Maha Meru represents the
whole Universal Energy and the energy in every animate and
inanimate object.
It is capable of removing any cause of disharmony in any
part of the human body, environment and family life, if its
potency is properly utilized. The Maha Meru transmits
the Divine Energy, wherever it is installed properly sanctified.
Sanctifying it and deriving its benefit is the purpose of
the Sri Vidya pooja.
The Sri Vidya Homa is a fire offering invoking the
Divine Goddess. It completely cleanses the space where it
is performed. It removes the clogged negative thoughts in
the space surrounding it and instills the Divine Energy in
it.
Following are pictures taken when a Sri Vidya Homa
is in progress in a devotee's house. The pictures clearly
show the invoked Goddess slowly taking shape in the form of
the fire.
Those who wish to have the Sri Vidya Homa and Pooja
conducted in their homes may contact
