Havan Samagri

The Havan Samagri is very sacred and each item is significant. Puja Samagri normally consists of a mixture of sandalwood powder, lobaan and ghee. Other essential ingredients are :

• Agarbatti (Incense Sticks)
• Dhoop (Incense)
• Roli (Colored powder)
• Gangajal (Holy Water)
• Mauli (Sacred Thread)
• Kapoor (Camphor)
• Laung (Clove)
• Elaichi (Cardamom)
• Mishri (Crystal Sugar)

The process of eradicating inner imperfections prevalent in our being is called havan. This process has all the healing techniques incorporated in it beautifully. It is a rare combination of accupressure, touch healing, meditation, psychiatry, knowledge and wisdom.

Rituals involved in every Havan
The common rituals for every havan are as follows :

• Pavitra Dharanam & Prarthana
• Achamanam & Siromarjanam
• Sthala Shuddhi
• Mahaganapati Puja
• Kalasha Puja
• Sri Bhagavati Bhagavan Pooja
• Agni Pratishtapanam, Dhyanam & Agni alankaranam
• Sankalpam
• Pradhana homa
• Jayadi homa

• Pradakshinam, Namaskaram & Prasthanam

Havans are age-old sacred rituals to invoke and propitiate various deities using the sacred fire as a medium for the attainment of various wishes and boons in the materialistic and the spiritual world as well.

The sacred fire acts as a link between man's consciousness and the cosmic consciousness. A havan can achieve a number of things including :

• Cleansing of the atmosphere
• Cleansing of the physical and psychic bodies
• Awakening of auspicious energies
• Enabling mystical experiences
• Invoking grace of God in our Lives

Havan is a scientific procedure, which is associated with the science of mind and soul. This science was realised by our great rishi-munis or seer scientists in Vedic times, through their mind power.
