Thila
Homam
Tribute
to aspiring souls
This
Homa is done for ancestral and those who died unnaturally. Here the mantra is
not chanted as in the case of usual ancestor’s death ceremony. It has to be
done only once in life time unlike other death ceremony because we are not
supposed to disturb these souls who died an unnatural death.
Which
soul needs our help
When
death takes place either in maternal or in paternal family sides, a ceremony is
done. When a baby dies it is buried. In some cases when any child or unmarried
girl or boy dies unexpectedly or have unnatural death such as accidents, by
drowning or by fire or by poisonous bite of deadly creatures, premature death,
suicide of any sort or dies by a hit of a stone, killed by strangling the neck,
killed by weapons, been attacked, died at time of delivery, died at time of
menstruation, left home due to madness (in this case we donot know if they are
alive or dead) are the dead soul, who awaits desperately to get free from the
clutches of evil power or from hell.
Importance
of this Homa
Thila
Homa is done to such forefathers and others who died unnaturally. While they
suffer in hell. They create unhappiness, a lot of obstacles and troubles in our
lives and remind us to relieve them from their unbearable sufferings. Thus this
Thila Homa comes as a saviour to the dead souls.
Hindrances
caused by dead souls
Such ancestors and others who died unnaturally in our
family give troubles like delaying in settling down in a job, late marriage,
delayed child birth, disobedient children or children giving troubles or suffer
ailments, disharmony with family members and between couples, more unwanted
expenditure then income, have legal proceedings & often occurance of
accidents.
A
right place to perform this Homa
This Homa must be done at Sethusheera i.e. Rameshwaram, as
nothing can be more auspicious and powerful then this place. The priest
performs death ceremony at home for others but they perform Thila Homa here to
their ancestors and those died unnaturally. Some does it in Kerala but for the above
said incidents the priest comes to Rameshwaram to perform a Thila Homa.
On
the banks of Thambaraparani river at Azhwarthirunagari this Homa is done but
the ashes is mixed in this holy sea water as the Vedas say that the soul of the
dead can rest in peace or get salvation only here.
The
Shastra further says that even if one of the family member carries this sin it
will affect the rest of the members in spite of having a good future. So it is
a must all the family members participate in performing this Homa because it is
done only once in life time unlike the annual death ceremony of forefathers or
monthly new moon ritual or any other auspicious Homa or Pooja which is done as
one desires.
Thila
Homa comes as a remedy to all
Such
soul are said to be haunting and roaming in space and they give their ill wish
to their children on earth. So the Shastra advice us a Thila Homa remedy that
can give a soul peace and relieve it from the cluches of negative forces. Also
this Homa helps a soul to find its way or have rebirth or is sent to the lotus
feet of god.

In
Hinduism, Hayagriva is also considered an Avatar of Vishnu. He is worshipped as
the God of knowledge and wisdom, with a human body and a horse’s head,
brilliant white in color, with white garments and seated on a white lotus.
Symbolically, the story represents the triumph of pure knowledge, guided by the
hand of God, over the demonic forces of passion and darkness.
