Maha Sudarsana Homa

Aug 4, 2013 7:00pm-9:00pm (ended)

Homa is a pūja ritual in which a consecrated fire becomes the primary focus to which offerings are made with reverence.

Pūja is ritualistic 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 pūja, thoughts and vibrations of spiritual forces are created around us. These spiritual forces work to eliminate the negative influences in our life and help surround us with positive energy which can bring us peace of mind, material prosperity, and enable us to more clearly touch the Divine, our true nature.
Maha Sudarsana Homa, a powerful homa, is performed for successful completion of undertakings and overall prosperity. This homa is believed to remove negative energies, and restore wellbeing of body, mind, and spirit.

Shantamritaji will perform this homa at MACC on Sunday, August 4th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.
· Sponsorship is $130 per person.
