Navagraha Homa🔗

Homa is a fire ritual, and an intense spiritual practice which becomes a powerful meditation technique when performed with devotion. During homa, one invokes the cosmic energy and visualizes it in the fire. Offerings to the planet deity through the fire are made at the same time.

Through the mantra chanted and the purification effect of the fire; the body, the space in which the ritual happens and the people attending the prayer are benefited, and the planetary effect decreased.

When this homa is done as a personal spiritual practice, the energy is brought from the nirvanic to the physical layer of the body through all subtle energy layers, healing the person and raising his level of energy-allowing him to transform his destiny.

Aum hrīṁ Nityānandāya namaḥ (Om Hreem Nithyanandaya Namaha)

In this mantra, Aum is the primordial sound and is the representation of Śiva's energy, the male aspect of the universe. Actually, Aum is the cosmic sound that pervades the grahas, their movements and their effects on us.

The Bīja mantra (seed sound), Hrīm, has no linguistic meaning but encloses a powerful vibration which attunes you to the primordial energy from which the grahas originate: the female energy, Śakti.

Nithyananda means Eternal Bliss and invokes the truth which is our true nature, and the nature of our own intelligence. It is the pūrṇa mūla mantra (the complete mantra) because it represents a straight path to both Śakti (success in this world) and to Śiva (success in the cosmic world) which is 'enlightenment'.

Namaḥa means 'I surrender' my ego to Existence, to the Master. Thus this sacred mantra awakens the completeness and fulfillment inside us and balances the male and female energies which exist inside every one of us.

The repetition of this mantra is a powerful technique which can be performed throughout the day as you go about your daily routine. It can also be uttered aloud 108 times every morning. The number 108, which is a multiple of 9, has been sacred since time immemorial. That is because the number 9 is the limit of all numbers: 0 to 9 is all one needs to make up an infinite amount of numbers. Therefore, 108 symbolizes and connects you to infinity.

Its beautiful sound should be pronounced clearly and as loudly as possible and from the navel region.

Eventually, this mantra will replace your inner chatter and create silence in your mind. Your whole being integrates itself towards enlightenment which leads you out of the dynamic of karma and planetary effects.

Be grounded!

How beautiful can it be to feel your feet are planted on firm ground? Stand far away from the turmoil of doubts, low self-esteem and jealousy; then you will find the secure space in you, from which you can express your energy peacefully in many spheres of your life. Work on becoming yourself, the fertile soil in which you can plant and grow many trees which will soon bear fruit. This beautiful feeling is felt and will be felt each time you consciously choose to feel fulfilled, to feel whole. Be whole and share your wisdom.

Be patient...

Enlightenment is passion with patience. Passion alone will raise a great number of thoughts: this passion, this rajas, will allow you to be successful in the outer world. If you have just patience, you will deeply accept everything and earn peace in the inner world. But with either one or the other alone, you will not get the ultimate experience of enlightenment which gives you the fulfillment in both worlds. Enlightenment is the total sum of passion plus patience. It is a mix of a strong will and a deep prayer that raise your frequency to a higher level, to a different dimension. Through that alone will you be able to break through all your automatism to awaken the non-mechanical part of the brain, which will bring revolution to your experience of reality. Be passionate, be patient! Be actively passive.

Many times, you feel like looking down on people, thinking you know too much and nobody can understand your depth. You may even feel lonely and misunderstood. This will happen each time your ego holds on to your knowledge, your achievements, your wealth and manifests itself as pride. The problem starts with the attitude of possessing the feeling of ‘mine’. True greatness lies in the knowledge that you don’t own anything. You just need to understand that you are a temporary custodian of what you have, which is a part of Existence, just as you are as well. Then you won’t need to be proud about it, you won’t have to disrespect other’s presence in your life, because you never possessed anything in the first place!

Nobody can hurt you without your silent permission!

If you look deeply within, you will see that you cannot do anything directly against your fear, your selfishness and your greed. If you attack the fear and try to remove it from one side, the greed will come from the other side; if you attack the greed from one corner, fear will come from the other corner. You can remove a thought or emotion with another thought, but you’ll struggle with thoughts endlessly. Simply remember, that whatever you experience is a dream. When somebody hurts you, just remember this simple truth and you’ll quickly regain balance and tolerance. Let this idea sink into you! Whatever struggles you’re going through will become settled. Try these simple technique for 11 days; you will experience its power.
