A Homa is performed during specific auspicious occasions for the benefit of the entire world as well as the participants.<\/p>\r\n One must understand that the actions of the Homa are a nourishment for the Devatas, who all correspond to basic principals of nature. By nourishing those energies one gets the support of nature. All objects which are offered into Agni refer to specific deities. These deities who are governing different main aspects of Nature, bless us with overall health and well being.<\/p>\r\n You can consult the concerned priest for the items to be brought for the particular homa of your choice.
