The Ritual and Its Weight
The Ashlesha Nakshatra Homa is offered for those born under Ashlesha, the ninth nakshatra, whose presiding powers are the Sarpa Devatas — the serpent deities of coiled, patient energy. Tradition holds that each of us carries the signature of our birth star through life, and that the star's own devata answers most readily to fire. In this homa the priests kindle the kunda, name you and your gotra, and offer to Ashlesha's devata the oblations the texts prescribe, so that the current of your janma nakshatra runs clean rather than knotted.
Ashlesha is a star of depth. It gives penetrating insight, hypnotic speech, the capacity to hold a secret and to see beneath surfaces. The same depth can turn inward as restlessness, entanglement in others' affairs, or a mind that will not put a matter down. The Ashlesha Nakshatra pooja is prescribed to settle that current — on your birth star each month, in your Ashlesha or Mercury periods, before a marriage, a move or a new venture. The ashlesha nakshatra shanti puja vidhi is followed as the Nakshatra Suktas lay it out, without shortening.
ॐ नमोऽस्तु सर्पेभ्यो ये के च पृथिवीमनु। ये अन्तरिक्षे ये दिवि तेभ्यः सर्पेभ्यो नमः॥ Salutations to the serpent powers — to all those upon the earth, to those in the mid-region and to those in the heavens; to all these serpents, our reverence.Why Devotees Book This
Devotees turn to the Ashlesha Nakshatra Homam to stand right with their birth star and ask its devata for shelter and increase.
Birth-star alignment
The homa is offered in your name and gotra on your janma nakshatra, so the rite reaches the star you were born under rather than a general blessing.
Protection of the Sarpa Devatas
Ashlesha's presiding serpent powers are invoked as guardians — traditionally sought for shelter from unseen harm, hostility and fear.
Clarity in a deep mind
Ashlesha gives penetrating thought. The rite is prescribed to steady that depth, so insight serves you instead of circling.
Ease in relationships
Families book this before betrothals and weddings, including when looking for the best match for an Ashlesha nakshatra female, so the union begins with the star propitiated.
Steady prosperity
Nakshatra homas are performed at the start of ventures, new work and new homes, asking that effort meet with unobstructed growth.
Relief during Mercury and Ashlesha periods
When the dasha or bhukti of Ashlesha's lord is running, the shanti puja vidhi is the traditional recourse for a smoother passage.

The most auspicious days for an Ashlesha Nakshatra Homa
The homa carries most force when the sky itself is turned toward Ashlesha.
The moon's monthly transit through Ashlesha is the first choice — your own janma nakshatra day, the fittest hour for the ashlesha nakshatra puja.
Ashlesha falls in Mercury's ownership by traditional reckoning; Wednesday mornings and the Mercury hora are favoured for the homa.
Fifth tithis, and Naga Panchami in Shravana, are classically kept for the Sarpa Devatas who preside over Ashlesha.
Ahead of a marriage, a house-warming, a new venture or the start of an Ashlesha or Mercury dasha, the homa is performed as shanti.
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.
What you receive
The sealing of the Ashlesha Nakshatra Yantra
When your homa concludes, the yantra that stood in the fire is rolled and locked inside its silver amulet according to Agama vidhi — the practice by which the energies raised in a ritual 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 — for you and up to five family members.
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.

Immediately afterwards it is rolled and sealed inside a silver amulet by Agamic rite, locking those energies within, and shipped to you with your prasadam.

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 your family, 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.
How to wear your energised Ashlesha Nakshatra Yantra
The energised yantra is carefully rolled and sealed inside a sacred silver amulet before shipping. Wearing it is itself a small ritual.
Your auspicious time to wear it
Wear it for the first time on a Wednesday, 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.
At a funeral
Take the yantra off before you attend a funeral.
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.
Keep the energy intact
You may repeat this energising once a week or once a month.
How your Ashlesha Nakshatra Homa is performed
Sankalpa

Agni Pratishtha

Sarpa Devatas Avahana
The mula mantras of the Sarpa Devatas are chanted, inviting the deity's presence into the fire — by one, three or five priests as your package sets.

Purnahuti
The final complete offering seals the sankalpa stated at the opening.
Aarti & Dispatch

The Sarpa Devatas
Coiled in the waters, in anthills, at the roots of trees and in the unseen spaces of the earth, the serpent deities are honoured across the Vedic and Puranic tradition as guardians of hidden things. Vedic prayer greets them in three realms — those upon the earth, those in the mid-air, those in the sky — and the mantra printed here bows to all of them together. In Puranic telling they are the Nagas: Ananta who bears Vishnu, Vasuki, Takshaka, Karkotaka and their kin, jewelled and many-hooded, keepers of treasure, of ancestral ground and of fertility in soil and womb. They are said to govern depth, patience and what lies beneath appearances. Devotees approach them for shelter, for clean dealings with the land and lineage, and for a mind that can hold what it knows without being tangled in it.
In this homa that grace is invoked through fire, with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.
