Vastu Shanti Homam -
January 29, 2017
On
Sunday (evening) of 29th
January, 2017 Vastu
Shanti Homam was
conducted at
Arunachaleswarar Temple.
Homam is the offering of
different types of
poojas to various
deities for fulfillment
of wishes by welcoming
the power of Agni, The
Fire of God. These are
performed to bring
peace, prosperity and
success. The Vastu Homam
was performed as a
ritual dedicated to the
direction gods. They are
namely, Indra (east),
Agni (south-east), Yama
(south), Pitru
(south-west), Varuna
(west), Vayu
(north-west), Kuber
(North) and Brahma
(center).
"Vastu Homam is a
traditional Hindu system
of design based on
directional alignments.
The Vastu Purusha
Mandala is a part of
vastu shastra and
constitutes the
mathematical and
diagrammatic basis for
generating design. It is
the metaphysical plan
that incorporates the
course of the heavenly
bodies and supernatural
forces. Purusha refers
to energy, power, soul
or cosmic man. Mandala
is the generic name for
any plan or chart which
symbolically represents
the cosmos".
