Homa for Departed Souls on Mahalaya Amavasya by Bri. Rema Devi
Location : Creekside
Pujas performed on the day of Mahalaya Amavasya, also called Sarva Pitra Moksha Amavasya, will benefit and appease deceased family members and ancestors, regardless of when they passed away. On this day, the MA Center will be conducting a Tila Homa (special fire ceremony) to pay homage to departed souls.
Homas available on this day are:
Tila, Maha Ganapathy, Ganapathy, Navagraha (all nine planets), and Individual planets: sun, moon, mars, mercury, Jupiter, venus, saturn, rahu and ketu.
All are welcome to attend.
To register for a homa - registration will be available through web only. Deadline to register is Thursday, September 26 at 5:00 pm PDT. Please check back here for updates or the MA Center facebook page.
In keeping with Amma’s wish that Homas for her devotees, who have passed away, be performed periodically, MA Center will make a special sankalpa for them during the Tila Homa.

Use the call box on your left just before the outer gate to communicate that you need the gate opened to drive through. Then follow the road past the temple. The road continues on the right next to the temple gate, then curves left up the hill to the Main House. The puja room is just inside the front door to the house.
