Thila Homa

Tila Homam

Tila Homam, also spelled Thila Homam, is a powerful Vedic ritual performed with ‘Til’ or ‘Ellu’ to get rid of the difficulties arising due to Pithru Dosha (Ancestor Dhosha). Homa or Havana are Hindu ritual of offering holy materials to the Agni or fire while chanting mantras and Brahma Gayatri,Vishnu Gayatri, Rudra Gayatri japas. Thilahomam is mainly performed after offering Tharpana to forefathers. Gokarna is the right place to do this religious work.
Reasons for Pitru Dosha :The main reasons for Pithru Dhosham (Pitru Dosha) are the non performances of srardhams and other rituals correctly to appease our ancestors. Similarly, Pitru Dosha may happen if anyone of the family members may have died in accidents or unnaturally and the departed soul does not get peace. According to various Purans, it is referred that if any ancestors up to the 4th generation on the mother’s side and up to the 7th generation on the father’s side may have died at an early age or have had an unnatural death, the currently generation may have been suffering from Pitru Dosha. And to remove this Pitru dosha we need to perform Tharpana and Tila Homa ritual correctly and satisfy our ancestors and obtain their blessings.
