Santhana Gopala Homam
(Every Month 3rd Saturday Sri
Danvantri Arogya Peedam)
SANTHANA
GOPALA HOMAM or PURUSHA SUKTHA HOMAM Dedicated to Lord Maha vishnu.None other
than Lord Maha Vishnu himself bestowed knowledge of this homa on Sanatkumara,
who in turn instructed this to sage Bodhayana. It is stated in the Suta
Samhita. Putrapradam Aputraanaam Jayadam Jayakaaminaam Bhuktidam
Bhuktikaamaanaam Mokshadam Moksha Kaaminaam meaning those who wish progeny,
success in endeavors, worldly enjoyment and the final emancipation shall attain
it by performing this.It is said that one attains this human birth by
performing meritorious deeds in the past lives. In order to continue the
lineage of ours it is necessary that we be blessed with healthy progeny. The
Purusha sukta homa is said to be equal to the Putra kameshti yagna narrated in
the Ramayana in providing healthy progeny to the performer. The hymn glorifies
Lord Vishnu as the Purusha or the primordial being with innumerable heads, eyes
and feet. The lord is depicted as the cause of all living beings. It further
describes the manner in which different species occur from his various limbs.
The hymns are sixteen in number.
