Dear SrIman Sampath KumAran :

A strict SrI Vaishnavan /ParamaikAnthi will not perform
Navagraha Homam.

Sudarsana Homam is an auspicious homam .
This needs enormous sanctity to perform 
at home by competent adhikAris. The sankalpams 
for doing at home and at temple are different.
The Manthrams used are powerful and any asuddhi or 
theettu should not be anywhere near.
As long as those conditions are met , I do not
see any reason not to reserve it to specific
days or Month . 

Having said that, AmAvasyai is not a good Thithi since
it is the day for Pithru Kaaryams. Ditto for ashtami, 
chathurdasi and PourNami. Regarding preferred Nakshathrams ,
RohiNi, Mrugasseersham,ThiruvAdhirai/AardhrA ,Punarvasu, 
Poosam /Pushyam ,UthrAdam, Hastham , Chithra, SvAdhi, 
anusham , jyEshtA ,Uthram , SravaNam , dhanishtA , Revathi 
are preferred Nakshathrams .Among the preferred months are, 
ChAndramAna VaisAgam( April-May) , SrAvaNa ( July-August), 
Aasvayuja ( Sep-October) , Maargaseersha (Nov-Dec) , 
Maagha (Feb-March), PhAlguna (march-April),Magham( Feb-March). 

For Koil, these restrictions can be loosened because
of Bhagavath Saanidhyam. 

SrI RanganAtha Temple at Pomona , NY will be celebrating
the 108th Sudarsana Homam on June 7 , 2003. Please come and
join us all at the temple (http://www.ranganatha.org). 

May I request more knowledgable practioners of Sudarsana
Homam to commnet and add more value . Thank you .
