Laghu Rudra Puja

About Laghu Rudra Yagna Havan | Significance of Laghu Rudra Puja Homa

Laghu Rudra is a highly revered and powerful puja ritual dedicated to honoring, worshipping, and invoking the supreme divine energy of Lord Shiva. This puja generates a strong energy field that offers material abundance as well as spiritual elevation. The Laghu Rudra Puja and Laghu Rudra Path are powerful Vedic rituals which are known to invoke all forms of Lord Shiva from his Fierce Raudra roop to His calm composed Adiyogi form and narrates various attributes and stories to glorify the Supreme Lord Shiva. This is the most significant and potent Vedic hymns mentioned in Yajur Veda which is dedicated to Lord Rudra. The hymns are known as Sri Rudram and Chamakam. The Laghu Rudra Pooja begins by performing Aavahan (welcoming of the deity), Sthapna (giving the seat to the deity) Laghu-Nyasam and Rudra Trishati is recited. In the Laghu Rudra Pooja, Sri Rudram Namakam Chamakam is recited by chanting the various names along with the divine attributes of Lord Shiva. This represents the Ying - Yang nature of Shiva's existence symbolizing the balance that is in nature and the cosmos around us.

The Sri Rudram has 11 anuvakas of Namakam and 11 anuvakas of Chamakam. After each chanting of One round of Rudram one Anuvaka each of Chamakam is chanted. Eleven recitations of Rudram followed by one recitation of Chamakam is called Ekadasa Rudram. This constitutes one unit of Rudra Homam. Eleven rounds of Ekadasa Rudram makes one Laghu Rudram. Eleven Laghu Rudra chartings make one Maharudram and eleven Maharudram recitations is the Atirudram. In a “AtiRudram yagna” everyday one Maharudram is completed and in eleven days an Athirudra Mahayagnam is completed. Thus in the Atirudra Mahayagnam, the Srirudram hymn is chanted in all 14,641 times by 121 Ritwiks in 11 days with the performance of 1331 rudra Homams simultaneously. The number 11 has a big significance in propitiating Lord Siva. The 11 priests are involved/required in the chanting to meet the specific number of recitations prescribed by the procedures.

The ancient Hindu texts are replete with praises for this prayer: 
Keivalyo Upanishad says: "Namakam Chamakam Hotran, Purush-suktam Japet Sada, Pravishet Sa Mahadeva Graham Grahapatiryatha" 
Translation: By Namak Chamak Mantras the person enters the abode of Lord Shiva without any fear and with certainty.
