Sri Durga Devi

          Chandi Homam

The purpose of the Chandi Homam is to remove any obstacles or blocks in growth – both internally and externally – for a person or a group of people.The true purpose of the Chandi Homam therefore is to provide a blueprint for balancing our Passion and Dispassion, Indulgence and Denial, manifesting our true divine Self that unites Selfishness and Selflessness.
