Thila Homa in Gokarna

 Visit Site 

Thila Homa

Tila Homam, also spelled Thila Homam, is a powerful Vedic ritual performed with ‘Til’ or ‘Ellu’ to get rid of the difficulties arising due to Pithru Dosha (Ancestor Dhosha). Homa or Havana are Hindu ritual of offering holy materials to the Agni or fire while chanting mantras and Brahma Gayatri,Vishnu Gayatri, Rudra Gayatri japas. Thilahomam is mainly performed after offering Tharpana to forefathers. Gokarna is the right place to do this religious work.

Reasons for Pitru Dosha

The main reasons for Pithru Dhosham (Pitru Dosha) are the non performances of srardhams and other rituals correctly to appease our ancestors. Similarly, Pitru Dosha may happen if anyone of the family members may have died in accidents or unnaturally and the departed soul does not get peace. According to various Purans, it is referred that if any ancestors up to the 4th generation on the mother’s side and up to the 7th generation on the father’s side may have died at an early age or have had an unnatural death, the currently generation may have been suffering from Pitru Dosha. And to remove this Pitru dosha we need to perform  Tharpana and Thila Homa ritual correctly and satisfy our ancestors and obtain their blessings.

Om Namha Shivaya,


This is an pooja vidhi in the memory of the dear departed. If for three consecutive years the offerings are not made to the dear departed then the dead gets vehement, so to calm them these offerings are made. This is performed on Amavasya the day of ancestors. 

We should strictly do Shraddha for Dear Departed one's every year with spiritual procedures. If we couldn't able to do then problem may arise like Unsatisfied dead atamas will troubles us in the form of demons,goblin, corpse, demi-gods, of the sky/ bodies or not getting sucess in our deeds.

By performing Tripindi Shraddha we can get rid of Pitru Dosha and can give Salvation to Ancestor (Moksha or Nirvana).

Entry point of Cave

Whole At top of The Cave

Shiv Linga Inside Go Garbha

There are 2 stories about this place

1.In Treta Yuga(Yuga when Ramayana Happened). Most of the earth was ruled by immeasurably powerful, cruel kshatirya (warrior clan) King Kartikeya. He was a human incarnation of Lord Vishnu’s celestial weapon, Sudershan Chakra. This mighty King killed Jamadagni, Father of Parshuram. Infuriated by his death Parshuram killed the Kshatriya clan 21 times. After this he undertook a Vishwajeet Yagnya and handed over the Earth to Sage Kashyap. In the absence of proper Ruler the Earth was in complete disorder. There was loss of religious beliefs. Sins increased, immorality increased, cruelty increased, purity vanished. Her resources were plundered. To find salvation Mother Earth came to Gokarna. She performed penance in a Cave, whose shape was like a womb of a cow. Go means Cow and Garbha means womb and that is why the name Gogarbha. It is near to Kamandalu Tirtha. This is the place where Mother Earth was bestowed by Lord Shankar. After the boom, proper law and order situation restored. The one who visits here once is never reborn. The one who worships here gets to possess the Land. 

2. Before the creation of the Universe, there was a competition between Trimurti's. The one who has more Tapas Shakti. He will be Creator and Followed by Preserver, Destoryer. There was no land or Universe exist that time. All Trimurti's went for tapas, after Hundreds of year Brahma and Vishnu returned. As they waited for Maheshwara he was still in Tapas, they didn't find him. So Brahma Started creating this Universe and Earth. Shiva got trapped inside the Earth, he used his Third Eye and Came out. While coming outside the Cave like structure got created.

Asthi Visarjan (अस्थि-विसर्जन , ಅಸ್ಥಿ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆ) in Gokarna

Hare Raam,

Asthi Visarjan(अस्थि-विसर्जन , ಅಸ್ಥಿ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆ) is a very important religious ritual in the Hindu religion. Asthi means the left over bones and some ashes of a dead person collected after performing the last rites. In the Hindu religion a dead person is cremated normally on a Funeral pyre where the dead body is placed on logs of fire.

After the last rites are performed the remains of the dead person are collected, these are mostly tied in a peace of cloth. These ashes are then immersed in a clean normally flowing water body like a river or holy pond. The practice of immersion is known as Asthi Visarjan(अस्थि-विसर्जन , ಅಸ್ಥಿ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆ).This practice is a must for all Hindus.

In  Gokarna Holy Pond "Tamra Parni" is there where the Asthi Visarjan(अस्थि-विसर्जन , ಅಸ್ಥಿ ವಿಸರ್ಜನೆ) is done from Ancient Times. There is a belief that  the "Asthi" will be melt in water and become        un-separable form after some days and this is happening till present.

We are Happy to help you in regarding this.

Thanks,
Gokarna Sanskara
