Abhishekam and Homa

September 3, 2008

On behalf of all the sponsors, Swamiji performs sankalpa, a ceremony
that binds the energy of the puja and homa to the sponsors and their families.

First milk and then many other offerings are used

to perform abhishekam to a murti of Sri Ganesha.

Amma has said that we can see Lord Ganesha as a beloved elder brother
who is always there to protect and guide us on the right path.

At the end of the homa, our beloved Amma applies the yajna raksha,
the sacred homa ash, on everyone's forehead.
