Vaidyeshwara Homa

Vaidyeshwara Homa is the Vedic ritual which restores our natural healthy state of being. Vaidyeshwara Homa invokes the presence and grace of Lord Vaidyanatha Swamy who is Lord Shiva Himself.

Etymology

Vaidya means Doctor. Eshwara or Natha means the Lord. Vaidyanatha Swamy is the King of all medicines and doctors.

As the saying – “Doctor stitches; God heals” – rightly says, Lord Vaidyanatha Swamy is the Cosmic healer. Throughout the puranas and Devarams there are umpteen number of incidents wherein Lord Shiva, as Lord Vaidyanatha, has cured so many chronic and acute diseases that even the expert doctors have failed to cure.

Introduction

This homa awakens the natural healing capacity that every one of us is gifted with by God. This homa releases the natural antibiotics in our body and also fills us with tremendous energy which is required to come back to the natural healthy state. The smoke coming out of the Siddha-Ayurvedic medicinal herbs that are offered into the homa kunda as prescribed by the Agamas – the sacred scriptures that explain how to worship Shiva – energizes the whole atmosphere. Inhaling the smoke of this Homa is very good for health as it is something more than just the smoke from the herbs. The power of the mantras and the energy of the Master is impregnated in the homa smoke.

In the Vaidyeshwara Homa, Lord Shiva in the form of Sri Vaidyanatha Swamy is invoked in the Homa fire. The Pradhana Ahuti is offered along with the chanting of Vaidyanatha Ashtakam – the hymns in praise of Vaidyanatha Swami. Then the ahutis(oblations) are offered with the mula mantra. Those who wish to have a really healthy life can offer the Vaidyeshwara Homa.
