To celebrate new year, and also for Universal peace and prosperity, Sri Sankara Mattham, Matunga , conducted Atharvaseersha Maha Ganapathi homam, Vishwa Shanti homam, , Lakshmi Kubera homam, Nakshatra shanti and Navagraha homams.
Many go to various temples in the City on the first day of the year, and most of the temples conduct homams and these are considered more sacred and superior to other forms of prayers. Navagraha plays a major role in our lives and worship of the Grahas by doing “Shanti homam” will mitigate our day to day sufferings and problems said S.Sivasubramanian , Secretary of Shankara mattham. Similarly Lord Kubera and Goddess Lakshmi bestows blessings on devotees by way of wealth and prosperity.
