Learned Vedic priests will be performing every homa at the Bangalore or Penusila Ashram in Amma's divine presence. All of the ceremonies have been selected by Amma for their uniquely protective, purifying, and uplifting vibrations, so that all who attend or sponsor the ceremonies will receive tremendous blessings.

Additionally, there are special homas and abhishekams that are performed throughout the year at Amma's ashram in Penusila. Please click here for more information.
