The Ritual and Its Weight
Ashwini is the first nakshatra, the opening light of the zodiac, set in the early degrees of Mesha and governed by Ketu. Its symbol is the horse's head; its deities are the Ashwini Kumaras, the twin physicians of the gods who travel by golden chariot and arrive before they are called. If Ashwini is your janma nakshatra, this star is the doorway through which your breath, your speed of mind and your instinct for beginnings all enter your chart. The Ashwini Nakshatra Homa is offered to keep that doorway clean and bright.
In the older practice, a person returned to their birth star each month — on the day the moon re-entered Ashwini — with offerings for the presiding devata. Few can keep that rhythm now. So the Ashwini Nakshatra Homa is performed on your behalf at our Yagna Ashram: your name, gotra and birth star are spoken into the fire, the nakshatra devata is invoked by its Vedic mantra, and ghee is offered while the star is strong overhead. You watch the flames live from wherever you are, and the prasadam reaches your hands afterwards.
ॐ अश्विभ्यां नमः ॥ अश्विना यज्वरीरिषो द्रवत्पाणी शुभस्पती । पुरुभुजा चनस्यतम् ॥ Salutations to the Ashvins; O swift-handed twin lords of light and wellbeing, generous givers, be pleased with the offerings of this sacrifice.Why Devotees Book This
Tradition prescribes the Ashwini Nakshatra Homa for those who wish to stand in right relation to their birth star. What the rite is offered for:
Strength in your birth star
Offerings are made directly to the devata of Ashwini, so the star you were born under is honoured by name and gotra.
Protection on the road
Ashwini rides. The Kumaras are invoked in the traditional way for safe travel, safe returns and steadiness in movement.
Support for wellbeing
The Ashwini Kumaras are the physicians of the devas. Devotees offer this homa as a prayer for vitality and physical resilience.
Clean beginnings
As the first nakshatra, Ashwini rules starts — a new venture, a new house, a new course of study. The fire is offered before you begin.
Relief from Ketu's restlessness
Ketu governs Ashwini. The homa is prescribed during Ketu periods and transits to steady a mind that is running faster than its own feet.
Prosperity through swiftness
The prayer is not for luck but for capacity: quick decisions, timely help, and the good fortune that follows a well-aligned star.

The most auspicious days for an Ashwini Nakshatra Homa
The homa is strongest when the moon stands in your own star, or on the days the tradition sets aside for it.
The day each lunar month when the moon transits Ashwini. This is the classical day for a janma-nakshatra homa and the first choice for scheduling.
The annual return of tithi and nakshatra from your birth. Devotees book the Ashwini Nakshatra Homa for that morning as a yearly offering.
During Ketu dasha, bhukti or an important Ketu transit, since Ketu is the lord of Ashwini.
On the eve of a journey, a wedding, a new business, a treatment or a move — Ashwini is the nakshatra of the auspicious start.
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 Ashwini Nakshatra Yantra
The Ashwini 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.
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.
Free energised Ashwini Nakshatra Yantra, sealed in a silver amulet
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.
How to wear your energised Ashwini Nakshatra Yantra
Your auspicious time to wear it
Wear it for the first time on the day named in your dispatch email, 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 Ashwini Nakshatra Homa is performed
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.
Ganapati Puja
The customary invocation to Ganapati, clearing obstacles before the deity is approached.
Agni Pratishtha
The fire is consecrated in the homa kunda and Agni invoked as the carrier of every offering that follows.
Ashwini Kumaras Avahana
The mula mantras of the Ashwini Kumaras are chanted, inviting the deity's presence into the fire — by one, three or five priests as your package sets.
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 mantras of the Ashwini Kumaras — 108, 324 or 540 in all, by package.
Purnahuti
The final complete offering seals the sankalpa stated at the opening.
Aarti & Dispatch
Aarti is performed live on your telecast. Vibhuti, sandalwood powder, kumkum and your energised Ashwini Nakshatra Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.
The Ashwini Kumaras
Twin horsemen of the dawn, they ride a golden chariot drawn ahead of the sun and reach the one who calls before the call is finished. The Rig Veda praises them in many hymns as physicians to the gods: they restore sight, set right broken limbs, give the aged their youth again, and carry the drowning to shore. They are sons of Surya and Saranyu, born in the form of horses, and the horse's head stands as their emblem. Youthful, quick, always paired, they belong to the hour between night and daylight. Devotees turn to them for health of body and clarity of breath, for swift help in trouble, and for strength at the start of anything new, since they are the presiding devatas of the zodiac's first star.
In this homa that grace is invoked through fire, with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.
