Sadguru Sri Shantananda Mahaswamigal and his disciple PujyaSri Pranavaanundha Mahaswamigal is synonym to Sri Chandi Homams.
While this Homam is performed at Peetham every Pournami day, Sri Swamigal has conducted this Homam across the world.
Sri Chandi Homam is a vedic, tantric fire ritual invoking the grace of cosmic feminine.
In Sri Devi Mahatmyam, which literally translates as the Glory of Goddess, Devi is worshipped as Chandi. She is the embodiment of all power, abundance and intelligence - an embodiment of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati.
Sri Devi Mahatmyam, also known as Chandi, has 700 mantra poorvaka slokas.
Sri Bhuvaneswari Tantra says that "just as the Vedas, the Devi Mahatmyam also does not have any beginning"
Sri Chandi Homam in which the oblations are offered, with recitation of all Mantras of Devi Mahatmyam, is hence equivalent of performing a Homam reciting all the Mantras of Rig, Yagur and Sama Vedas.
Sri Chandi Homam is done after the Sri Chandi Navavarna Puja and Parayanam.
Pudukkottai Sri Chandi Homa Sampradhaya, set by Sadguru Sri Shantananda Mahaswamigal is a unique combination of various Mantras, resulting in various benefits as prayed by the devotees.
Sri Chandi Homam bestows wealth in abundance, growth in career, high intelligence, great self esteem and confidence, removes enmity, defeats rivals and evil effects, heals diseases and brings prosperity and happiness.
