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.

Divine Mother is "Yajna Priya," the one who loves homa 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.
