The Sun is considered as themain source of energy, and fire is considered as a representation of the Sun's energy. According to the ancient textson Homams, any offer to Fire as a god, is actually an offer to Sun. Any such offer is done either to enrich energy or todestroy the undesirable elements in the environment, and thus, in both ways, environment is protected. Like Pujas,Homams are also believed to be one of the greatest ritual in Hindu religion, whereby doing this, one can get rid of anyobstacles and also attain the self-satisfaction. The goal of all Homams is the prosperity of the people by energizingand protecting the environment. It is said that when Lord Brahma (the creator among the Trinity) created man, healso created Homam for man's livelihood and his attainment of desires. The main aim of Homam is derived from theVedas or the ancient texts of Hindus. These Vedas explains how a human should be, how he should be helpful toothers and what are the good actions that he should perform. Vedas and Homam are eternal truths which haveneither beginning nor end, and are divine, not the creation of humans.To perform any Puja or Homam, first of all, a priest is appointed. While performing any Puja, first of all, the priest orPandit ji perform the Puja of the Lord Ganesh as Lord Ganesh holds a unique position in the Indian culture and anyceremony, ritual, Puja or new undertaking begins with invoking the power of Ganesh, otherwise it is regarded as

futile. A Kalash (brass or copper pot filled with sacred water) is placed with a coconut and different fruits, grains andbetel leaves in front of it. After the Ganesh Puja is complete, then the Puja of the respective god or goddess andYantra is performed on whose behalf the Homam is performed. This is done with the recitation of a Mantra for thatparticular deity with the offerings of water, Chandan (sandalwood) paste, Sindoor (vermilion), rice, milk mixed withfloral-scented oil, flowers, fruits and sweets. After the Puja is completed by the priest, preparations are then made forthe Yagna or Homams (sacred fire ritual) to be performed. This is the last part of the Puja and goes on for over anhour.Some of the things that are placed in the Agni (fire) during Homam are said to transmit some kindof medicinal smoke and this smoke mixes in the air thereby curing lots of human diseases. Sandalwood, small piecesof Banyan tree, fragrant herbs and pure ghee are used as an offering to the Agni (sacred fire), with the recitation ofMantras. The smoke, which comes out of the Homams, purify the air and this smoke does not cause any air pollutionand also have some medicinal values. In the end, the Yantras are energized with the vibrations of the Mantras. Theenergized Yantras are thus empowered and enable the purpose for which they are being used

Lakshmi Narasimha Homam, the fourth incarnation of God Vishnu, is half-human half-lion and provides a veryfascinating study of the Lord's incarnation in order to alleviate the sufferings of his devotees. Sage Kashyap had fourwives, Diti, Aditi, Vinita and Kudroo. Diti gave bir th to demons and from Aditi were born gods, while from Vinita wasborn Garud, the carrier of Vishnu and the last one Kudroo created the hydras. Dithi gave birthto Hiranyakshaand Hiranyakashipu. Vishnu killed Hiranyaksha as he oppressed the devas. At the death ofHiranyaksha, Hiranyakashipu was overpowered with grief. His mother Dithi was heart -broken. Hiranyakashipu alsowas filled with sorrow and it burnt his own heart like fire. He hated Vishnu and Vishnu's very name was like poison tohim. His blood was boiling with the hatred of Vishnu.Hiranyakashipu, King of the Rakshasas, retired to the mountain Mandara and began tapas - the severe order of

penance. Brahma was pleased with his devotion. He appeared to Hiranyakashipu and said, 'Hiranyakashipu, arise. Iam pleased with your devotion. I have never seen such a severe meditation before. Ask for whatever you desire.'Hiranyakashipu replied, "Great Lord, if you will grant my prayer, this is what I seek: Let not death come to me fromany creature created by you; let me not meet with death either in the house or outside it; let not my death occur eitherduring the day or at night; no weapon should cause my death; I should not die either on land or in the sky."

After this blessing the demon crossed all bounds in oppression and dethroned Indra, the king of heavens. The verygods were filled with fear. Indra, along with the other gods, appeared before Brahma and prayed for deliverance.Brahma was very much worried and replied that the demon had become powerful due to the blessings bestowed byhim and he could not destroy him. He also advised Indra to go to Vishnu, which they did. The gods went to Vishnuand retold their story of sufferings and said that due to boons given by Brahma the demon had been indulging in all

sorts of oppression. Vishnu promised to destroy him in due course of time.At last the king thundered at the boy, "You, curse of the family! Have you not yet given up your evil thoughts? Thethree worlds tremble at my glance. But you, my son, how do you dare to disobey me? You are very young; some onemust have misled you and encouraged you. Otherwise you would not have had such evil ideas and such courage.Tell me who has shown you such an evil path." The earth shook as the king roared at the boy. But Prahalad calmlyreplied, "Dear father, it was Hari who gave me this courage. He is stronger than anyone else. You and I, the universe,even Brahma are nothing before his strength. He is the real Lord of the Universe."

All the gods were under the thumb of the mighty Hiranyakashipu; and here was a mere boy of five giving him advice.The king of the Rakshasas was mad with anger. He shouted in rage: "Unlucky fool, your death is near. I am the Lordof all the worlds, the only master. Is there another? Where is he? Show him to me." "He is everywhere," youngPrahlad's answer came without a moment's delay. The king could no longer control himself through anger. He hit apillar with his mace. "Wicked fellow, is he everywhere? You mad boy, why should he not appear to me in this pillar? Iam going to kill you this very moment. You have been praising Hari as the Lord of the Universe. Let him come to yourhelp if he can." So saying he drew out his sword and pounced upon the little boy. There was a terrible deafeningnoise as if the universe itself split into two. Even the very brave Hiranyakashipu stared from his place at the terriblenoise. The courtiers shook with fear and stood like statues of stone. As the stunned men watched, the pillar split intotwo.

Hindu religion is said to be one of the oldest religion that is found to be spread over various countries in the world.

And, lots of good issues, which help the people, and for their enrichments in lives are well explained in Hindu Vedas.

These Vedas explain how a human should be and how he should be helpful to others and what are the good actions

that he should perform.

Dhaanams, Poojas etc are some of the Hindu rituals we follow to get the blessings of the Perumal but it is also donefor our self satisfaction, and it all represents our beliefs. Like Dhaanams, poojas, etc Homams are also said to be

one of the greatest ritual in Hindu religion, whereby doing this, we can get rid of anything and also attain the

Perumal.

Homams and its relation to the scientific world:

Lots of vedic actions, which are performed by our ancestors, are not only based on the rituals but also it has a close

connection with the scientific explanation.

For instance:

Some of the things that are placed in the Agni (fire) during performing Homam are said to transmit some kind of

medicinal smoke and this smoke collages with the air thereby curing lots of human diseases.

Ghee, Small pieces of Banyan tree, aromatic products etc are some of things that are placed while performing

Homams. The smoke, which comes out of the homams, has the tendency to purify the air and this smoke will not

Homams are classified into two and they are:

1. Kaamya Homam.

2. Naimithika Homam.

"Kaamya Homam" is the short form of "Ishta Kaamya" Homam and this homam is performed on the basis of a

person for his wealth, health etc.

Kaamya homams are performed for a particular reason and performing a specific homam, the problem is solved and

the things attain what we expect. This Kaamya homams can be done at home, by inviting Archakars (Pundits) who

are skilled in performing various homams.

"Naimithika Homam"is another kind of homam, which is done for the enrichment of the world, peaceful life etc.

homam should be done at the temples (or) in the midst of the city and this homam is done for the betterment of the

whole human life.
