The Ritual and Its Weight

Anuradha is the seventeenth nakshatra, a row of steady lamps in the body of Scorpio, ruled by Shani and presided over by Mitra. The Anuradha Nakshatra Homa is the rite by which you turn and face your own birth star. Priests take your name, your gotra and your nakshatra, and offer into the fire the mantras that belong to this star alone — so that the subtle current you were born under is honoured rather than left unattended.

Tradition holds that a birth star, kindly acknowledged, becomes a companion. Anuradha's gift is the making and keeping of bonds: with elders, with friends, with the devas themselves. When work feels friendless, when partnerships fray, when effort brings no answering warmth, the elders prescribed the anuradha nakshatra homa. It is also offered on your janma nakshatra each month and on your birthday, as a quiet act of gratitude for the star that carries you.

ॐ मित्राय नमः । मित्रो जनान् यातयति प्रजानन् मित्रो दाधार पृथिवीमुत द्याम् । Salutations to Mitra, who knows all beings and sets them in right order, and who upholds both the earth and the sky.

Why Devotees Book This

Devotees born under Anuradha, and parents offering on a child's behalf, book this homa for these traditional aims.

Alignment with your birth star

The mantras of Anuradha are offered in your name, so that your janma nakshatra is honoured and its influence made favourable.

Protection on the road and at work

Mitra is invoked as guardian of the one who keeps faith — traditionally sought before travel, relocation and long undertakings.

Friendship and goodwill

Anuradha rules bonds. The rite is prescribed where partnerships, teamwork and family harmony need repair.

Steady prosperity

Offered for growth that holds — reputation earned slowly, position kept, and the support of elders and well-wishers.

Relief from Shani's pressure

Anuradha is Shani's own star. The homa is performed to soften the weight of delay and to invite discipline rather than obstruction.

Devotion and inner steadiness

The Vedic seers linked Anuradha to unwavering bhakti. Devotees offer here for constancy of mind and clarity of purpose.

Step 1 How many priests will perform your homa?

Has your astrologer prescribed a different number of ahutis? Our priests can review it and arrange a customised homa. Call our Devotee Relationship Team on +91 96295 55442 — they confirm the count, the priests, the approximate duration and the total price before you book.

Sacred timing

The most auspicious days for an Anuradha Nakshatra Homa

Our priests fix the muhurat from the panchangam and from your own chart, and tell you the day and hour before the fire is lit.

Anuradha nakshatra day

The star's own day, recurring each lunar month, is the first choice for this homa — the current of Anuradha is then at its fullest.

Your birthday and janma nakshatra

Offered on the solar birthday or on the monthly return of your birth star, as an annual or monthly act of alignment.

Saturdays and Shani periods

Anuradha's ruler is Shani. Saturdays, and times when Saturn transits or governs your dasha, are held especially apt.

Before a beginning

Ahead of a marriage, a new post, a move abroad or the start of a partnership, the rite is offered for protection and goodwill.

You do not need to wait for one of these days. Whenever you book, our astrologers calculate the muhurta from your own birth chart — a date chosen for you personally, which tradition regards as more precise than a calendar date chosen for everyone. If you would like the homa on one of the days above, tell us at checkout and we will fix the muhurta within it.

Every package, and the 48-day option

What you receive

The sealing of the Anuradha Nakshatra Yantra

The Anuradha Nakshatra Yantra is consecrated over three days — Jala (holy-water consecration with mantras), Prana (life force through pranayama & chants) and Jeeva Pratishta (awakened with 108 recitations & offerings) — then present through your homa, receiving the energies raised in the fire. When your homa concludes, it is rolled and locked inside its silver amulet according to Agama vidhi — the practice by which those energies are held within a consecrated object rather than dispersing. It is why a homa performed at our ashram can still reach a devotee ten thousand miles away: what the fire raised travels to you, sealed.

Personal sankalpa

Your name, gotra & nakshatra — and up to four family members if you wish. No one else is named.

Hear yours read back, as the priest will say it →

Live telecast

Watch your own homa in real time from the ashram. Streamed openly on our YouTube channel by default — or request an unlisted telecast at checkout.

Shipped to you with your prasadam.

Prasadam, shipped free

Sacred vibhuti, sandalwood powder & kumkum from your fire — delivered to any country.

Yantra Pujas inside our consecrated sanctum

48-Day Anushthan (optional) — daily pujas for 48 days — the 27 Nakshatras + 12 Rashis + 9 Planets — then sealed in a silver amulet of approximately 2–4 inches. Performed in our consecrated sanctum at the Yagna Ashram.

A note on sacred tradition

As per strict Agama vidhi, no videography is permitted inside the temple sanctum — this preserves the pure sacred energies and undisturbed divine focus of the ritual. The main homa is respectfully telecast live from outside the sanctum.

Homas are telecast openly on our YouTube channel so that devotees everywhere may witness the rituals — and because we believe you should be able to see our work before you trust us with yours. Your sankalpa names you and any family members you add, so if you would rather your ceremony were not public, choose the private telecast option at checkout and it is streamed as an unlisted link, which does not appear on our channel or in search, though anyone who has the link can watch it and share it.

We state this plainly — transparency about what tradition forbids filming, and about what is public, is part of performing these rituals honestly.

After it arrives

How to wear your energised Anuradha Nakshatra Yantra

01

Your auspicious time to wear it

Wear it for the first time on a Saturday, between 6.30 and 7.30 in the morning. Bathe first, place the yantra on your pooja altar and offer your prayers, then wear it around your neck or your waist, on a red or black thread or a silver chain.

02

At a funeral

Take the yantra off before you attend a funeral.

03

Purify the amulet

Whenever the yantra has been taken off, or if it was worn at a funeral, dip it in raw milk or Ganga jal, show it incense, dhoop or attar (perfume), and then wear it again.

04

Keep the energy intact

You may repeat this energising once a week or once a month.

Inside the fire ritual

How your Anuradha Nakshatra Homa is performed

01

Sankalpa

The priest states your name, gotra and nakshatra — and those of up to four family members — with the intention this homa is performed for.

02

Ganapati Puja

The customary invocation to Ganapati, clearing obstacles before the deity is approached.

03

Agni Pratishtha

The fire is consecrated in the homa kunda and Agni invoked as the carrier of every offering that follows.

04

Mitra Avahana

The mula mantra of Mitra is chanted, inviting the deity's presence into the fire — by one, three or five priests as your package sets.

05

Ahuti

Ghee and akshata, with the flowers, grains and dravyas proper to this deity, are offered in sequence with mantra. Each priest makes 108 of these offerings with the mula mantra of Mitra — 108, 324 or 540 in all, by package.

06

Purnahuti

The final complete offering seals the sankalpa stated at the opening.

07

Aarti & Dispatch

Aarti is performed live on your telecast. Vibhuti, sandalwood powder, kumkum and your energised Anuradha Nakshatra Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.

Who is invoked

Mitra

Among the Adityas, the sons of Aditi, stands the god who presides over friendship and the sworn word. Mitra is invoked in the Rig Veda as the one who marshals people into their proper places, who upholds earth and heaven, and who watches over agreements between men. He is rarely worshipped alone in the Samhitas; his name is paired with Varuna, and where Varuna binds by oath and law, Mitra binds by goodwill. Daylight, contracts, alliances, the trust between elders and the young — these are his domain. He presides over Anuradha, the seventeenth nakshatra, whose steady lamps in Scorpio carry the same temper of loyalty. Devotees turn to him when bonds need tending: with kin, with companions, with the devas who receive their offerings.

In this homa that grace is invoked through fire, with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.

Questions

Frequently asked

The Anuradha Nakshatra Homa, also called the Anuradha Nakshatra Homam, is a fire ritual performed for a person born under Anuradha, the star presided over by Mitra. Priests offer ghee, havan samagri and mantra into the consecrated fire to Mitra and to Shani, the star's lord, with your name, gotra and nakshatra spoken in the sankalpa. Its significance lies in honouring the star that shaped your birth, so that its qualities of loyalty, order and protection are strengthened and its harsher pressures gentled.
Anuradha is the seventeenth of the twenty-seven nakshatras, lying wholly within Vrischika (Scorpio). Its lord is Shani, and its presiding deity is Mitra — one of the Adityas, the deva of friendship, covenant and right dealing, invoked alongside Varuna as the witness of promises. Its symbol is a lotus or a triumphal archway. Those born under it are described in the shastras as loyal, organised and devoted, able to build lasting friendships and to carry long work to its end.
The Anuradha Nakshatra Homa is traditionally performed for protection, for harmony in friendships and partnerships, for the goodwill of elders and superiors, for steady rather than sudden prosperity, and for relief from the delays associated with Shani. It is also offered simply as gratitude — an alignment with your janma nakshatra. Scripture prescribes the offering; the fruit rests with the deity, and the homa is offered as prayer.
The Anuradha Nakshatra Homa is for anyone born with the Moon in Anuradha, at any age, and parents commonly book it for a child born under this star. It is also chosen by those in a Shani dasha or bhukti, by people facing strain in partnerships or teamwork, and by devotees beginning something that will need years of steadiness. You do not perform it yourself: our priests perform it on your behalf at our Yagna Ashram, and you watch the live telecast from wherever you are.
The priests begin with achamana, Ganapati puja and your sankalpa in your name, gotra and nakshatra. Punyahavachana and kalasha sthapana follow, then the Navagraha invocation with emphasis on Shani, and Agni is established in the kunda. The ahutis follow: ghee, samidha of the star's own tree, tila, akshata, honey and dravya, every priest making their own offerings in the one ceremony. The rite closes with purnahuti, aarti and prayers for peace. You watch it all on live telecast.
You can book the Anuradha Nakshatra Homa with one, three or five priests. Each package is the complete homa, with the same ritual stages and the same kinds of offerings, performed privately for you and up to four family members and never combined with another booking. What changes is the number of priests: every priest makes their own ahutis, the offerings into the fire, and all of them perform at the same time, in one ceremony. An ahuti count is a count of these offerings, not a japa count, which measures repetitions of a mantra. Each priest makes 108 ahutis: 108 in all with one priest, 324 with three and 540 with five, in approximately 1 hour. A larger package adds priests and offerings, not a second ceremony. Choose the scale that fits your intention, preference and budget; the one-priest homa is complete in itself, and no package guarantees a particular result.
Yes. Our listed Anuradha Nakshatra Homa packages specify standard ahuti counts and priest numbers. If your astrologer has prescribed a different count, we can arrange a customised homa following review by our priests. Please share your requirements with our Devotee Relationship Team on +91 96295 55442. The team will confirm the ahuti count, number of priests, approximate duration and total price before you book. Your customised homa remains a private ceremony dedicated to your sankalpa, never combined with other customers' bookings.
About an hour, whichever package you choose: the priests perform together and make their offerings at the same time, so three or five priests do not lengthen the ceremony. Your muhurta, the date and time, is confirmed by email within 24–48 working hours of booking, and the live telecast link arrives the day before, so you can follow every stage wherever you are.
You do not need to wait for an auspicious day. Whenever you book, our astrologers calculate the muhurta from your own birth chart — a date chosen for you personally, which tradition regards as more precise than a calendar date chosen for everyone. If you would prefer one of the days tradition favours for the Anuradha Nakshatra Homa — the day Anuradha nakshatra runs each lunar month (above all on a Saturday), your birthday or the monthly return of your birth star, a Saturday or a Shani period in your chart, or the days before a marriage, a new post, a move abroad or a new partnership — tell us in the notes at checkout and we will fix the muhurta within it. Our Panchang shows the tithi and nakshatra for any date.
Yes. What directs a homa is its sankalpa: the solemn resolve the priest makes before the fire is kindled, stating who the homa is for and what it is offered for. The deity invoked and the ritual remain the same; the purpose is yours, as your astrologer has advised it. So if you have been advised the Anuradha Nakshatra Homa for a reason other than those on this page, write that purpose in your own words in the “Your sankalpa” box on the birth-details page, straight after payment, and the priest will state it in the sankalpa with your name, gotra and nakshatra. If the advice also names a date, a number of ahutis or a number of priests, mention it in the notes at checkout, or call our Devotee Relationship Team on +91 96295 55442 before you book.
Book the Anuradha Nakshatra Homa online on this page, from India or from any other country; devotees living abroad book it the same way, and prices are shown in your currency. Choose one, three or five priests, and straight after payment add your name, gotra if you know it and your birth star, with your prayer for the homa in the “Your sankalpa” box. Your muhurta is confirmed by email within 24–48 working hours and the live telecast link arrives the day before, so you can watch the entire homa live, wherever you are. Afterwards, prasadam and your energised Anuradha Nakshatra Yantra are couriered to you anywhere in the world, free of shipping cost.
Every Anuradha Nakshatra Homa package includes the energised Anuradha Nakshatra Yantra: a copper plate of about 1–2 inches, consecrated over three days and present in the fire through your homa. It is then rolled and sealed inside a silver amulet of about 2–4 inches, made to be worn, and couriered to you with your prasadam, free of shipping cost, usually reaching you in 1–2 weeks within India and 2–4 weeks internationally from the homa’s completion; the tracking email gives your personal time to wear it. If you add the optional 48-Day Anushthan, the yantra is also worshipped daily in our consecrated sanctum for 48 days before it is sealed.
Our silver amulets are specially made for everyday wear: copper is added to the silver to make them more durable. With regular use, the amulet may turn black, reddish or brown as it is exposed to heat and reacts with the chemicals in cosmetics. Wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cotton cloth, keep perfume and cosmetics away from it, and clean it by rubbing it gently with a pinch of vibhuti (sacred ash). Every six months, polish it with cotton dipped in a silver cleaner, but never soak or dip the amulet itself. Never open it, as the energies of the yantra are sealed inside. If it is ever damaged, send it back to us, not to a jeweller.

Your ritual date is an auspicious muhurta calculated personally for you — not a slot on a rota. Once it is confirmed, rescheduling from the customer's side is not available, and cancellation does not carry a refund. If we ever have to move your ritual for unforeseen reasons at the ashram, we will inform you immediately and provide a fresh auspicious date at no cost — and your telecast, recording, prasadam and yantra remain exactly as promised.
