Homams are very effective tools for the spiritual growth of an individual or a household. Developing the pyre and chanting mantras with utmost dedication and offering earthly substances into the pyre has an immense cleansing and appeasing effect on one's mind and provides a higher level of mental focus, serenity, calmness and bliss. Ancient scriptures like Yajur Veda and Bhagavad Gita are continuously in praise of such a practice. Vedic seers practiced it regularly. Even today, many households in our country are enjoying the benefits of homam. The real success of the practice is in one's state of mind.
Success, happiness, accomplishments, honor, wealth and comforts that one seeks or experiences in his or her life are the outcome of one’s own deeds or actions. But, the true essence of life is that though you may seem to have complete command over your deeds, you cannot determine the outcomes or the results of your actions. Various external factors and forces influence and control the results of your actions. This is the everyday reality of your life and of every one of us.
