What is Santhana Gopala Homam?
Santhana Gopala Homam invokes Lord Krishna in his child form as Santhana Gopala. Couples traditionally perform it with the Santhana Gopala mantra, praying to be blessed with a child.
The vidhi includes Ganesh puja, sankalp in the couple's names, kalash sthapana, Krishna avahan and offerings into the fire, followed by purnahuti, aarti and prasad such as butter or payasam.
It is a prayer offered with hope and faith. We encourage couples to also follow the guidance of their doctors, and the Pandit will conduct the homam with sensitivity and privacy.
Significance
Santhana Gopala is one of the most loved forms of Krishna in South India. Families have long prayed to him for the blessing of children.
The homam is also sometimes performed after a child is born, as a way of giving thanks.
