Mahalaya Amavasya Tila Homa by Swamini Ambikamrita Prana - In Person
Location: Amrita Hall Porch
MAHALAYA AMAVASYA TILA HOMA
Pujas performed on the day of Mahalaya Amavasya, also called Sarva Pitra Moksha Amavasya, are considered most beneficial for deceased family members and ancestors. On this day, Swamini Ambikamrita Prana will be conducting a Tila Homa (Vedic fire ceremony) to pay homage to departed souls.
In keeping with Amma’s wish that Homas for her devotees who have passed away be performed periodically, MA Center will make a special sankalpa for them during the Tila Homa.
All are welcome to attend.
You may register for a sankalpa (special resolve) to be made during the homa on your behalf, or for a loved one. Those who register for sankalpa do not need to be present to receive the benefits of the Homa.
HOMAS AVAILABLE ON THIS DAY ARE:
Tila, MahaGanapathy, Ganapathy, Navagraha (all nine planets), and individual planets: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu
Sankalpa registration will be open until Tuesday, October 1st, at 5:30 PM PDT. Register here >>

Directions
The Main House is on the hill above the temple hall. When you arrive at MA Center, turn right and cross over the small bridge. Use the call box on your left just before the outer gate to communicate that you need the gate opened to drive through. Then follow the road past the temple. The road continues on the right next to the temple gate, then curves left up the hill to the Main House. The puja room is just inside the front door to the house.
