Homas
Vayuputra homa
- Addressed to
- Sri Hanuman, son of Vayu
- Usually asked for
- Courage, steadiness, service
Vāyuputra — son of Vāyu — is an epithet of Sri Hanuman, invoked for courage, strength and constancy. Families ask for it before something demanding, and for someone carrying a long difficulty without relief.
It is also kept on Tuesdays and Saturdays by families who observe it as a regular practice rather than a one-time rite.
Procedure, duration, materials and whether it can be performed in your absence depend on your circumstances, so I discuss those with you rather than list them here. Wording on this page is awaiting my review.
