You are invited to attend the next and fifth all day Lalitha Sahasranama homam at the Ashram site on next Sunday – 15th May 2022. This day is also Vaishakha Poornima!
The Hindu month of Vaishakh is regarded as one of the most fortunate months to perform fast, donation, Homa, and other religiously relevant and significant things. The Purnima that falls in the month of Vaishakh is celebrated as Vaishakh Purnima. Devotees worship and offer prayers to Lord Vishnu on the day of Vaishakh Purnima with utmost dedication and faith.
Skanda Purana is one of the most religious Hindu scriptures which highlight the importance of this day. It is believed that devotees get blessed with abundance, rewards, and peace by worshipping Lord Vishnu on this particular day. By observing a fast of Vaishakh Purnima, the devotees can attain prosperity. The day also holds immense significance as on this particular day people also celebrate Buddha Jayanti.
As per Buddhist texts, Lord Buddha was born in 563 BCE in Lumbini, Nepal on the day of Vesak. Also, it was the day of Vesak when Buddha attained enlightenment under Bodhi tree in BodhiGaya. On the same Vesak day, Lord Buddha left for abode in the eighteenth year of age.
Homam will start at 9:00 AM with Ganapathy homma(Havan), Hanuman Homam Vishnu Sahasranama Homam and then up to 11 rounds of Lalitha Sahasranma Homams, to e finished by 3:30 PM or so – well in advance of the lunar eclispe.
We will continue the efforts of Krishi pooja and Nakshatra Vana (star forest) during this weekend as well. Krishi Pooja is a divine concept introduced by Jagathguru Swami Sathyananda Saraswathy Thiruvadikal even on this weekend. Food is the basic requirement for sustaining any life form – including human life. Hence the concept of farming to produce food itself is one of the most basic and respectable forms of worship. Hence this concept of Krishi pooja. Devotees will be planting seeds / plants of herbs and vegetables.
Ashram will continue planting trees of astrological significance for nakshatra vana. Nakshatra vana or star forest is a concept where an individual plants respective plant / tree corresponding to their birth stars. Scriptures advise that nurturing your own plant will protect your body. Southern boundary will have three plants for each star (nakshatra). Eastern and northern boundaries will have Fruits and special plants / trees like Rudraksh, Camphor, Chandan (Sandal wood) etc. Diagram below will give an overall view. Please contact volunteers or write to info@srdmh.org to know your respective plant with details like date of birth and place of birth if you do not know your birth star, and the process involved in setting up a plant.
Those who are willing to volunteer to support Krishi pooja may please email info@srdmh.org with their willingness and availability. Expectation is to spend 4 to 6 hours a week to support planting and watering efforts. No extreme hard work is anticipated.

Sundarkand Parayan
2023-02-11
Sunderkand – Fifth Chapter of Ramayana is devoted to Hanumanji and explains his expedition to Lanka and initial victory on Lanka. It is considered extremely auspicious to read Sunderkand. It is said that if one is not able to read the entire Ramayana, just reading Sunderkand is the shorter solution, to accomplish whatever one needs in life.
We are privileged to get this years religious activities onsite started with the blessings of Swami Ramanand Saraswathy, commonly known as Dr. Saab.
Dr. Saab, an ardent devotee of Hanumanji, has dedicated his life to the worship of Lord Ram and to spread the message of Bhakti. In spite of his busy schedules and invovled work life, Dr. Saab dedicated every weekend in the last three decades for Akhand Ramayan Path – reading Tulasidas Ramayan called Ramacharit Manas, non stop in 24 hours and also chanting Sunderkand from the same text. A resident of Washington DC, Dr. Saab will be flying down to Houston to bless our Ashram and kick off this years functions. We have been lucky enough to have him kick off the functions last year with a very devotional Sunderkand recital, held at Houston Meenakshi Temple.
Sunderkand recital will start at 10:30 AM CST (11:30 AM EST / 8:30 AM PST / 10:00 PM IST) and can be viewed through our regular broadcast link seen below.

Blessed are those, who were able to attend the last Homam either in person or remotely since they had the unique privilege of meeting late Sri Maha Periyava and Hanumanji and also hear the blessings and messages alive.
In short, Hanumaniji declared that he will ever be present from that moment in the Ashram doing his non stop meditation on lord Ram. He conveyed the message from Lord Ram that lord desires the presence of Goddess Sri Lalitha Tripurasundari in the Ashram. Further Sri Maha Periyava offered the Vigraha for the Ashram as his blessings.
In short, this Ashram is blessed in every way possible with the blessings of two greatest saints – Jagath Guru Swami Sathyananda Saraswathy who personally supervised the construction of the present Hanuman Vigraha and now with Jagath Guru Sri Kanchi Sankaracharya Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Mahaswamigal offering Sri Lalitha Tripura Sundari Vigraha, which will be ready by May 2023.
Indeed, this is also a testimony that the 100+ rounds of Lalitha Sahasranama Homam’s conducted at the Ashram has been well accepted by the ever-merciful universal mother, Sri Lalitha Tripura Sundari!
