Guide To Hindu Homa Havan And Festivals

Guide To Hindu Homa (Havan) And Festivals

Hindu ‘Fire ceremonies’ called Yaga, Yagna, Homa, and Havan are observed by the Hindus for thousands of years. My book is a collection of my articles written over ten years on this subject. I have added the festivals celebrated by the Hindus as well. It is not a comprehensive one. There are many more not reported here. But important rituals and fasts are covered in it. In the last section of the book, I have included my articles on Boons and Curses and Haloes and Importance of Days of the Week. In a way, they are all related to the title of book.
