Generally for an auspicious homams - as per Muhurtha Chinthamani, we are required to calculate where the Agni resides. For this a computation has been prescribed as under
All Auspicious homams needs to be done during Sukla Paksham (ie. Where the moon grows ie from Amavasai). Hence the counting starts from Prathamai (First day after Amavasyai).
Say for eg.
Ganapathi homam done on 1[SUP]st[/SUP] September 2011 being Vinayakar Chathurthi.
Total no of Days = 4 (From Prathamai to Chathurthi)
Add 1 to it = 4+1 =5
The day falls on Thursday. Hence from Sunday compute how many days to Thursday = 5 (bit ambiguous only here – however If anyone can throw light it will be great – I think this is correct by studying the Muhurtha chinthamani – however practical insight is preferred from experts)
Total the above both 5+5 = 10
Reduce 4 from the above 10-4 = 6
Divide the same by 3 ; 6/3 and get the reminder.
The reminder 6 divided 3 = 0.
If the reminder is 0 or 3 then it has to be understood that Agni is in Boo Lokam (Earth).
If the reminder happens to 1 or 2 then the Agni resides in Patala Loka (Below Earth)
Implications: While the Agni residing at Boo Lokam (Earth) Favourable
If Agni resides in Patala Loka (Below Earth) then its not Favourable.
Hope this is useful.
For Agnihotram, Aupasanam and Samithadhanam there is no stipulations as its all nithyakarma
Thanks
Hari

All forms of divinity are the reflection of the Supreme Brahman(God).
On a personal note..I always start off prayers with the recital of AUM three times and next I recite the Ganesh Mantra which I choose for the day.
I keep chanting different mantras daily just to keep my memory alive.
I prefer chanting from memory so that one makes an attempt to understand and memorize it.( but no harm if you read it too)

AUM 3 x
Ganesh Mantra

Then I follow some unwritten rule of sequence of bhajans.

Ganesh
Guru
Devi
Shiva
Rama
Krishna
Sarva Dharma
Hanuman Chalisa
Atma Shatakam

Mantras: Asato ma sad gamaya
Gayatri Mantra
Surya Gayatri
Sai Gayatri

Maha Mrtunjaya Mantra
Om Purnamadha Purnam idam
Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu

Arti.


This is the sequence I follow for my own liking.

Madam

You may kindly end it with a "Shama Mantra" indicating that if I have done any
mistake in chanting Slokas or Mantras or in acts/deeds"

Manathraheenam Kriyaheenam Bakthiheenam Sureswari or Sureswara
Yathboojitham Mayadevi Paripoornam Thathasthume

Though you are Dhanwantri to others, for your wellbeing you can
also kindly add and chant "Dhanwantri" Gayathri

Om Adhivaidhyaya Vidmahe Aarogya Anugrahaaya Dheemahi
Tanno Danvanthri Prachodayath.

Balasubramanian
