Yagya for the Holy Mother
A sacred havan ceremony is conducted with focused meditation and offerings to invoke divine presence and peace. Participants are instructed to sit with complete concentration, using available materials like flowers, kumkum, and rice. The ritual involves sequential meditations on deities including Gaṇapati, the Kuldevī, Navagraha, Śiva, Agni Nārāyaṇa, Brahmā, and Vāstu Maṇḍala Devatās. Mantras are chanted for each, with offerings made into the fire. Procedures for purification—ācamana, tilaka, and hastaprakṣālana—are followed by participants in batches. The ceremony includes invocations for planetary peace and a major Devī havan with extensive chanting, concluding with collective prayers and the distribution of prasāda.
"Take whatever material is available in your hand; if it blooms, then do it."
"Chant Svāhā when they are inside."
