What happens on Amavasya, and how is the Havan altar and mixture prepared?
On Amavasya, an equivalent number of Havan oblations is offered to match the daily chanting count, on a square altar with wood arranged in an inverted triangle, using a Pushtikaraka mixture of sesame, barley, rice, honey, and Panchmeva with ghee.
What is the step-by-step ritual protocol to protect a home from dark influence (Abhichara)?
A minimum of 41 days of oblation performed outside the home (or four rounds of 11 days), followed by nightly mustard-seed sprinkling and clove/camphor fumigation at home, with continued weekly oblation using either a deity's hundred names or, for those without any ritual mastery yet, the Hanuman Chalisa.
What are the Havan ingredient rules for men?
Since this is a Paushtika ritual for attainment (Siddhi), men must offer oblations using pure ghee mixed with honey and a little guggul — offering 11 oblations for each of the 108 names, totaling approximately 1,100 oblations, using a Namavali written out for ease during the Havan.
What is the underlying energy mechanism of sacrifice?
The energy of the living soul is bound to the energy of one's desires via the Sankalpa mantra during sacrifice; following the sacrifice, the seat's primary operative power receives and projects that energy, completing whatever desire — Shatkarma, Paushtika Karma, or otherwise — was intended.
What Sankalpa should be taken during the Havan to release a bound Kuldevi?
During the Havan, take a specific resolve invoking Lord Shiva and Lord Bhairava to release the Kuldevi from all oaths, bindings, and hostile occult projections, re-establishing her divine energy in the home; continued nourishing (Paushtik) oblation and household Keelan then prevent future intrusions.
