Ayush Homam

What Does Happen During the Ayush Homam?

“Ayush” means age and the desire to lead a healthy and blissful life. One of the main Ayush Homam benefits is aiming to prolong human life by tapering down health problems. It significantly contributes to improving living standards by reducing health-related problems. During Ayush Homam, ‘Ayur Devata’, the God of Life, is invoked, and blessings are received.

Thus, participating in Ayush Homam is highly beneficial, as it unveils the eternal consciousness and revitalizes the medium (the body), which enables us to move towards a spiritual life.
