What is Samputith Chandi Homa? Difference between Samputith Chandi Homa & Regular Chandi Homa?

The word ‘Samputit’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Samput’ which means a ‘covering’ or a shield that has the power to bring together the divine energy in order to get immediate effects. A Samput is chanted or recited before and after every mantra or a path to enhance its power and offer quick results. It is like a capsule that holds together the medicine powder inside it safely. Samput can be in the form of mantra or a chaupai (quatrain verses). A Samputith Chandi Homa comprises of Vedic rituals where a specific mantra or path is recited before and after every path or mantra to increase the power and divinity of the Yagna or Homa. A Samputit Path may vary depending upon the sankalp stated by the Yajman to perform the Chandi puja. Depending upon the sankalp, a Samputith Mantra or path is recited. The Yagna that is performed with Samputith Path is known to generate enormous divine energy and holds a great value as it is known to awaken the Supreme Devi and helps in attaining Her consent to fulfil the wishes of the Yajman. A Samputith Yagna enhances the auspiciousness of the entire puja ritual and is known to be one of the purest and powerful forms of devotion which is performed with modesty and pure admiration to appease the Goddess.   

The difference between a Regular Chandi Homa and a Samputith Chandi Homa is that, in a regular Chandi Homa, normal mantra chanting is performed in a continual manner and all the other rituals are performed according to Vedic methods. Whereas, in a Samputith Chandi Homa, after every verse, mantra or chapter a specific mantra or path is recited depending upon the Sankalp or reason to perform the Homa. A Samputith Chandi Homa helps to gather all the power and divine energy of the path or mantra in one place an amplifies the energy and offer quick solution.
