What is a Havan or Homa?
Havan, also known as homa or homam, is a Sanskrit word that refers to any ritual wherein offerings are made into a consecrated fire. The word comes from the Sanskrit root word hu, meaning “to offer” or “to present.” Generally, the word is used in northern India, while homa is used in southern India. Regardless, the meaning is identical.
In my Ashram Mahamritanjaya Havan is a regular weekly occurrence. It is dedicated to Healing for both Global disturbances and individual dis-ease. In this light please send names of those whom you wish to receive the healing light of the fire havan.
It is believed that the regular practice of havan brings purification and transformation to the individual and the environment. In this way, havans are also part of yoga ecology as they adhere to the yogic principles of purity and caring for our natural world.
