    Simplest Venkateswara Homa

    By P.V.R. Narasimha Rao (https://VedicAstrologer.org)


    Date of current version: 2020 April 1

    Introduction

    Lord Venkateswra or Balaji is an incarnation of Vishnu with the energy of Rahu and the presiding deity of this
    age. His homa can be done every day or every Saturday or every Ekadashi day.

    Preparation

    Find a standard homa kunda or simply a small vessel/utensil made of copper/silver/bronze/steel, in


    square/circular/rectangular shape. Even if it was used for cooking earlier, it's ok. Clean it thoroughly, dry it and
    use it. We'll simply call it "homa kunda" in this writeup.

    Find some ghee (clarified butter). If not available, use sesame oil or some other oil. Find a copper/silver/steel
    cup/tumbler/vessel to keep melted ghee. Find a copper/silver/steel spoon for offering ghee.

    Find another tumbler and spoon for water. Keep a matchbox and camphor (if available) ready.

    If possible, get some dry coconut (copra) halves at a nearby store and make small pieces (roughly 1 inch x 1
    inch). If not, collect some fallen dry twigs from nearby trees (or other firewood). If you have dried cowdung
    pieces, you can use those too.

    If you have black/brown/white sesame seeds and any unsalted plain nuts (e.g. cashews, almonds etc), you can
    use them too.

    Do NOT consume meat or alcohol or drugs on the previous day. Sleep well and get up early on the day of homa.
    Take bath and wear clean clothes that you feel comfortable in (no need for traditional clothes if they make you
    uncomfortable).

    Procedure: Pre-Fire Stage

    Sit down facing east and place the homa kunda in front of you.

    Place some water in your right palm. If you are not comfortable with Sanskrit, say this:

    For the establishment of Dharma on earth and for the well-being and peace of all people, I shall do a
    Venkateswara Homa within my abilities.

    If you are comfortable with Sanskrit, say this:

    ÉUlaeke xmR SwapnawRm! sveR;am! jnanam! suo zaiNt isÏ(wRm! ve<kqeñrhaemkmR ywazi´ kir:ye
    bhüloke dharma sthäpanärtham sarveñäm janänäm sukha çänti siddhyartham
    veìkaöeçvarahomakarma yathäçakti kariñye

    After saying it, drop the water in front of you, over the tips of fingers.

    Place a couple of copra pieces (or twigs) in homa kunda and light them with a matchstick (use a camphor for
    ease if you have), while saying the following and imagining that Holy Fire will cooperate in this ritual:

    ` ÉUÉuRvSsuvraem!
    om bhürbhuvassuvarom

    Procedure: Initial Offerings in Fire

    Say this and offer a drop of ghee in fire while imagining that you are surrendering your consciousness to
    Prajapati, via Holy Fire:

    ` àjaptye Svaha
    om prajäpataye svähä

    structured thinking to Agni, via Holy Fire:

    Say this and offer a drop of ghee in fire while imagining that you are surrendering your faculty of feeling and
    intuition to Soma, via Holy Fire:

    Say this and offer a drop of ghee in fire while imagining that you are surrendering your awareness of physical,
    mental and spiritual realms to Prajapati, via Holy Fire:

    Say this and offer a drop of ghee in fire while imagining that you are surrendering your ability to plan and avoid

    Say this and offer a drop of ghee in fire while imagining that you are surrendering your ability to persist and
    overcome problems to Varuna, via Holy Fire:

    ` v< vé[ay nm> Svaha


    om vaà varuëäya namaù svähä

    Procedure: Offerings to Main Deity

    Imagine that lord Venkateswara has entered Holy Fire and accepting your offerings.

    Say this and offer a drop of ghee (or sesame seeds or nuts) in fire while imagining that Lord Venkateswara is
    accepting it:

    ` nmae ve<kqezay Svaha


    om namo veìkaöeçäya svähä

    You can do this as many times as you can. You can also use any other mantras you are attached to.

    Don't rush. Imagine that lord is in fire, accepting your offerings and mantra. Imagine that his blessings are
    coming to you. Try to develop that feeling and enjoy it.

    Procedure: Final Offerings in Fire

    Say this and offer a drop of ghee in fire while imagining that you are surrendering your physical experiences to
    Agni, via Holy Fire:

    Say this and offer a drop of ghee in fire while imagining that you are surrendering everything physical, mental

    Say this and offer a drop of ghee in fire while imagining that Holy Fire with seven tongues is pleased:

    Meditation

    Now, meditate as long as you can, with the following mantra (or any other mantra you like).

    ` nmae ve<kqezay
    om namo veìkaöeçäya

    At the end, say this while imagining that peace descends on you and others:

    ` zaiNt> zaiNt> zaiNt>


    om çäntiù çäntiù çäntiù
