Shree Durga Varada Hom
The Shree Durga Varada Hom is an extremely crucial part of the Shree Varada Chandika Prassanotsav. This event is taking place in the ground directly opposite the Main Gate of Shree HariGuruGram. The Shree Durga Varada Hom is a Yagna. The Yagna Samhita [Text expounding on the Procedural Aspects of the Yagna] was composed by the Great Sage Atri. This, Shree Durga Varada Hom is being conducted as per the Atri Samhita, to the exclusive rendition of the Sanskrit edition of the Shree Matruvatsalyavindanam, in the voice of our Param Poojya Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu himself. This Sanskrit edition, shall in the near future, be made available to all Shraddhavans,
This Hom is of 3 types
- Ek-Kala Hom [Lasts for 3 hours]
- Tri-Kala Hom [Lasts for 3 days]
- Nava-Kala Hom
Currently, the Hom being performed as part of the Shree Varada Chandika Prassanotsav is the Nava-Kala Hom, which shall be performed for 9 days on the trot, wherein the entire of the ninth day shall be reserved for the Poornahuti [Completion Rituals] of the Yagna. This Hom is being performed in a totally unique way and every Shraddhavan can cherish this visual and auditory experience throughout this great Exaltation of Mothi AAI , Shree Varada Chandika Prassanotsav.
The arrangement of this event is as follows, we are able to see our Aai Mahishasurmardini placed in a cave, in front of which is a series of steps leading to Mothi AAI. Directly opposite of this is a largeJalashaya where Nandaai herself will offer the Mangala Deep daily. Ahead of this Jalashaya is theHom Kunda wherein we can all offer the Dhoop. All Shraddhavans can sit and do the Pathan [reading] of the Shree Matruvatsalya Vindanam in the same place whilst listening to the heavenly voice of our Sadguru Bapu reciting the same in Sanskrit. Today itself many of us were fortunate enough to witness Nandaai herself doing the Pathan of the Shree Matruvatsalya for almost over an hour.
In the Nava-Kala Hom, each and every Shraddhavan can offer Dhoop. Around this entire arrangement are placed 11 Kanthakoopa Pashan, signifying the 11 names our Mothi Aai, which we have sung innumerable times .... Jayanti, Mangala, Kali, Bhadrakali, kapalini, Durga, Kshama Shiva, Dhatri, Swaha, Swadha,,, Namostute......... The Spiritual Strength and grit required to destroy Evil from our life, is provided by this very event, the Shree Durga Varda Hom.
The Ek-Kala and Tri-Kala Hom will soon be started at Gurukul, Juinagar and each and every Shraddhavan shall be able to perform them, himself. Similarly Sharddhavans will also be able to perform this Hom in the Purusharthadhams in the future.
