Download Homa Manuals

You can use the manuals below to perform a homa by yourself, to various deities. Homa or havan is a Hindu fire ritual. You can read about the history of these manuals and the Do-Homa-Yourself movement.

You can read a writeup addressing criticism of some people that daily Homa is not sanctioned by shastras.

If you have never done a homa by yourself and are not confident of doing a homa by yourself, consider seeing this 8-minute video demonstrating a homa with the simplest possible setup, to get confidence that you too can do it!!

If you are not sure which deity's homa you should do, consider starting with Ganapathi or Vishnu. After doing that for a few months, correct guidance and/or inspiration may come.

Please note that languages available are listed below. A * next to the language means that the manual is in English and the chosen language/script is used just for transcribing mantras.
