Significance of Chandi Homam

Maa Durga is the prime Deity of this Homa/Havan and she is the ultimate Feminine Energy in this Universe. She is the mother of this Universe, and she epitomizes in herself all the Divine Forces for saving her dear children on Earth from Evil .

Main benefits of conducting this Chandi Homam: –
1) Performing Chandi Homam helps in overcoming obstacles and barriers in life.
2) Helps you attain Success and win over one’s enemies.
3) Blesses one’s life with positivity, long-lasting Health, Wealth, and prosperity and happiness.

Significance of Rudra Homam

Rudra is Lord Shiva, the destroyer of evil forces and this homam is dedicated to him. He can control the nine planets and thus controls time and space. Rudra Homam when chanted with devotion and care, can directly pierce through your deepest energy layers, energise the naadis and flush out the negative forces that influence your health and mental states.
