Homas,
or Sacred Vedic Fire Ceremonies, will be performed in fourteen
cities during Amma's 2008 Tour, all are most welcome to attend.
Amma has arranged these homas for the material and spiritual well-being
of those who attend, as well as the entire world, and it is a tremendous
blessing to witness or sponsor such a noble activity. Swami Vijayeswarananda
will be performing each homa in Amma's divine presence. To learn
more about the Sacred Fire Ceremonies and their spiritual significance,
please visit the main Homas
and Pujas page. Also, the Guru Purnima Sri Pada Puja will be
held in Houston on Friday, July 18.
Benefits
of Attending or Sponsoring Homas
The homas (sacred fire ceremonies) included in the programs have
been specifically designed by Amma to remove obstacles, improve prosperity,
destroy astrological defects, promote healing, enhance intelligence
and creativity, increase spiritual radiance, and grant divine protection.
Simply to be present during a homa is a great and rare blessing.
All homa programs are free and open to all, but for those who would
like to receive items energized by the powerful homa vibrations,
several sponsorship options are available. Information and photos
of the prasadam options will be posted at a later date. Please see
below for more details about how to sponsor.
Help Others While
Helping Yourself
Funds received from sponsorships help to support Amma's charitable
works, including her free hospital, free tribal school, feeding programs,
and more. Homa sponsorship is a wonderful opportunity to receive
the profound blessings of the Divine while also making a significant
contribution to the health, happiness, and well-being of our fellow
human beings. To learn more about the benefits of sponsoring homas
or pujas, please visit the main Homas
and Pujas page.
Homa Sponsorship
Options
If you are interested in sponsoring a US homa, there are two ways
to do so. If you will be attending a homa program, you may pay the
sponsorship amount at the program itself and pick up your energized
prasadam at the end of the homa. If you attend the homa, there is
no need to fill out a form ahead of time.
If you will not be attending the homa
you wish to sponsor, you can download a form (below) and submit it
by mail, fax or email. Please check the schedule below to find out
when homas will be performed during the US Tour.

ceremonies, and "Yajna Kartri," the one who is the
ultimate director of all homas. As she is in the form of hte
five elements, she is the homa fire itself. May all beings
receive divine peace and healing through the most sacred homa
fire ceremony. |
