Overview

Ayushya Homam for families in Kushaiguda

Ayushya Homam is a Vedic homam dedicated to Ayur Devata, the deity associated with lifespan (ayus). It is especially common in South Indian households, where it is traditionally performed on a child's first birthday and on birthdays reckoned by janma nakshatra, the lunar star under which a person was born.

Kushaiguda lies next to ECIL in the north-eastern part of the city and grew alongside it. The colonies here were laid out for staff of the public sector units and defence establishments nearby, and many of those families have stayed on for decades.

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.

We worship the three-eyed Lord, fragrant and nourishing. May he free us from bondage, as a ripe cucumber from its vine, and lead us towards immortality.Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12
