Tila Homa by Swamini Ambikamrita Prana for Mahalaya Amavasya - In Person

From 5:00 am Pacific Time
Location: Amrita Hall Porch

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.

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. All are welcome to attend.

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.
