Time taken: Pre-Preparation - 1 minute

Homa- 3 to 4 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes.

Pre-Preparation:

Take one spoon of ghee in the small cup (#VIII) and warm it directly on the stove for 5 to 10 seconds.  By the time it melts and the cup becomes bearable to hold, get the altar ready. 

Keep the bowl (#1) on the brick or stone platform (# VII) and place in it a piece of camphor or used oil soaked lamp wicks.This now becomes the altar to perform the Homa /Havan/ Yagna.

Get ready with a small amount of water in the cup (# IX) and place it near the altar.

Now you add half or one teaspoon of coconut flakes to the melted ghee and mix with the same spoon in the small cup (#VIII).

Now you are ready for the Homa.

Ganesha or Ganapathy Homa

Step 1: Place the ghee bowl in front of the altar and take the cup of water. Pray that the water is Holy (Awareness of the Self) which purifes (gives Awareness of Self) all the contents of the Pooja. Then sprinkle a few drop of water  on yourself and the altar and the other pooja items (In advanced level you can chant a mantra for this act).

Step 2: Pray Lord Ganesha and your Guru and light up the camphor or used wicks in the bowl using a lighter.

Step 3: When the fire is on, invite Ganesha to the fire through hand gestures and devotion in your mind. Then chant the Ganapathy  mantra

"Aum shreeM hreeM kleeM glauM gaM gaNapataye
vara varada sarva janamme vashamaanaaya swaaha".

Step 4: Do the chanting minimum 11 times. Keep a small amount of ghee with coconut flakes in the spoon while chanting and when you chant "Swaha", offer to fire. The mediator (agent) of the offering to fire is done by Agni's wife Swaha (Wife means the Energy). She relays to the destined Lord.

Feel that Lord Ganesha is accepting your offering happily. Repeat this 11 times.

Step 5: Try to keep the flame till you offer 11 times. In between if you need add to fire small amounts of extra camphor or dried twigs and leaves, so that the fire doesn’t go down until all the portions of the mixture are added.

Step 6:. When all the ingredients are added 11 times, then with folded hands, pray expressing your desire if you have to Ganesha.

Step 7: Then touch the altar as if you are touching the holy feet of Lord Ganesha.

Step 8: Then through hand gestures and devoted mind, allow Lord Ganesha to leave the fire.

Step 9: As prasad you can touch (dont hurt by heat) the black ash with the ring finger and apply in your fore head.

Step 10: You may allow the fire to extinguish on its own. Within few minutes usually it goes off. Dont leave fire unattended.
