Ganapathy & Planetary Homa by Swamini
May 11, 2025 7:00am-9:00am
Swamini Ambikamrita Prana will perform an auspicious Homa (sacred fire ceremony) on Sunday, May 11th, starting at 7:00 am at MA Center Chicago.
Homa, or Puja, is ceremonial worship of the Divine, performed to keep us in harmony with cosmic forces, thereby removing and overcoming the sorrows of life and bringing spiritual upliftment. By doing puja, positive spiritual vibrations are created around us.
All are welcome to attend the Homa. The following will be included in the Homa and are available to register for a sankalpa (spiritual resolve) to be made during the Homa on your behalf, or for a loved one. Please note that those who register for sankalpa do not need to be present to receive the benefits of the Homa. >>>Click here to register.
