Sri Maha Ganapathi Moola Mantra Homam at Madipakkam,Chennai
Om Sri Matrey Namah
Sri Maha Ganapathi Homam was held on 1st September, 2011 at Madipakkam , Chennai. The Homam was conducted under the guidance and blessings of Sri Lakshmi Ji.
The Homam started at around 3 pm with mahasankalpam. Around 30 devotees attended the ritual and were blessed.
Before the homam started Sri Lakshmi Ji spoke to the gathering of devotees on the importance of Homam for good of mankind (lokakshemaartham). She also stressed the need for doing poojas and the efficacy of prayer to protect oneself from negative thoughts and bad effects of Karma. She said that karmas can be dissolved thru prayer and rituals like poojas, homams etc. Sri Lakshmi Ji was very particular in her speech that everyone should spend at least 10 minutes every day in introspection. It may be meditation, it may be just being silent and thinking of our own character flaws/traits, it may be repeating God’s name. This introspection which she called spiritual connectivity is essential. It not only helps a person to understand oneself but also prepares to face the world as a father/mother, spouse, boss, employee, friend etc. She stressed that this introspection helps in better understanding in a relationship.
After the maha sankalpam the Ganapathy aavahanam (invoking Lord Ganesha ) and subsequently archana to Lord Ganapathy was also performed.Ganapathy moola mantra homam was performed by chanting moola mantra of Ganapathy 5000 times. Homam was also performed with Ganesa Gayathri mantra.
Mahalakshmi Homam was also performed with vedic Sri Sukhtam as Sri Maha Lakshmi is the Goddess who bestows on the devotee wealth and prosperity and well being.Poornaahuti was later performed in the end to chanting of mantras .
May Lord Ganapathi, who is the remover of all obstacles, clear the path of all devotees towards success and prosperity and peace of mind.
