DIVYAM 108 VAGAI HOMA THIRAVIYANGAL 1.300gm

The number 108 holds profound significance in Hinduism and other traditions, appearing in various contexts such as the number of beads in a mala (prayer rosary), the number of Gopis in Krishna’s pastimes, and astronomical calculations. In the context of Homa, using 108 distinct “dravyas” (substances) is believed to create a holistic and powerful offering to the deities. Each ingredient contributes to the overall energetic vibration of the Homa, helping to:

• Purify the atmosphere: Many of the herbs and natural materials release aromatic and medicinal fumes when offered into the fire, which are believed to cleanse the surrounding environment of negative energies and impurities.
• Invoke divine blessings: Specific dravyas are associated with particular deities or planetary influences, and offering them is believed to invoke their blessings for various purposes, such as health, wealth, prosperity, knowledge, removal of obstacles, and marital harmony.
• Balance elemental energies: Homa involves the five elements (Pancha Bhootas), and the diverse nature of the 108 dravyas helps in balancing these energies, promoting harmony and well-being.
• Spiritual purification and growth: The act of offering these substances with devotion and chanting mantras is considered a potent spiritual practice that purifies the mind and soul of the participants, fostering spiritual growth and connecting them with the divine.
