It is saddening that there are so many negative energies emitted in this world. Just a casual greeting could end in a conversation with a negative tone. People have no words of appreciation but only voice their displeasure. The chatter all around us is laced with negativities. The adult world is a threat to children too. It is a culture shock to them at most times. I am just as terrified of adults as children are.
Just as Lord Shiva told us to carry out the Homam in our homes and recite Dhanvantri's mantra and the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra to heal the Prapanjam at the height of the pandemic, I guess we should take up the cause to heal the Prapanjam by giving back positive energies.
Now I understand why Agathiyar told me that the Homam I was asked to conduct by Tavayogi in my home was not for me but for the Prapanjam. Tavayogi who initiated me into the path and fold of the Siddhas with Agathiyar's mantra, initiated me to carry out Homam in my home later. He even had me carry out the Homam simultaneously on the day of Agathiyar's Jayanthi, while he did a bigger scale of the Homam called a Yagam on the grounds of his Kallar ashram.
Tavayogi in explaining to us the reason why a Homam is conducted during a wedding told us there might be invitees who come with negative thoughts, intentions, and energies that could jeopardize the harmony and blissful state prevailing then. The Homam counters these.
It came as a surprise to me when Agathiyar who brought an end to puja at AVM and asked me to go within in 2019, intercepted a telephone conversation with a fellow devotee just days ago on 7th July, asking me to restart the puja the same day and continue till he comes again. I had since then carried out lighting a Homam.
Shall we do the Homam on Guru Purnima at 3pm MST? Hopefully, coming together to carry it out in our own homes simultaneously, would help bring a balance in the energies, or better still overcome the negative energies sent out by many.
