The Ritual and Its Weight
Chandra rules the mind. In Vedic astrology the Moon governs manas — thought, memory, mood, sleep, the emotional weather you wake up inside. It also signifies the mother, water, milk, and the soft receptive side of a life. When Chandra sits weakened, eclipsed, hemmed between malefics, or runs a difficult dasha, the tradition reads it in the mind first: sleep that will not come, decisions that will not settle, a heart that swings without cause. The Chandra Homam is the fire rite prescribed for exactly this condition — a chandra shanti homam offered to cool, steady and strengthen the Moon in your horoscope.
The homam is worked around the Chandra Gayatri and the Vedic Soma suktas, with white offerings the Moon is said to love — rice, milk, ghee, white flowers, palasha samidha. Sixty-four offerings, or a hundred and eight, or the count your chart calls for, each sealed with svaha into the fire. Priests at our Yagna Ashram perform the chandra homam in your name and gotra while you watch the flame live from wherever you are. This is a Standard-tier planetary rite; it is not the Devi-centred chandi homam or its chandi homam 13 chapters recitation, though searchers often reach for one name while meaning the other. Here the invocation is to Soma, the Moon god, alone.
ॐ पद्मध्वजाय विद्महे हेम रूपाय धीमहि । तन्नो सोमः प्रचोदयात् ॥ ॐ श्रां श्रीं श्रौं सः चन्द्रमसे नमः ॥ We meditate upon the one whose banner bears the lotus, the one of golden form — may Soma, the Moon, illumine and impel our minds; salutations to Chandra.Benefits of the Chandra Homam
Devotees turn to the Chandra Homam when the Moon in their chart is under pressure. Tradition prescribes the rite for these purposes.
Peace of mind
The homam is offered to cool an agitated manas — the tradition's first remedy when thought races and rest will not hold.
Steadier sleep and rhythm
Chandra governs the tides of the body. Devotees book this rite when nights have grown broken and the daily rhythm feels unmoored.
For an afflicted Moon in the chart
Prescribed when Chandra is debilitated in Vrischika, combust, papakartari, in Kemadruma yoga, or running an unfavourable Chandra dasha or antardasha.
Blessings for the mother
The Moon is the karaka of the mother. Families offer the homam in her name, for her wellbeing and for the bond between mother and child.
Emotional balance in relationships
A steady Moon is said to soften how you receive others. The rite is taken up when household warmth and marital ease need strengthening.
Strength for a benefic Moon
Not only for affliction. Where Chandra is already well placed, the homam is offered to raise its good effects — intuition, memory, gentleness, public warmth.

The most auspicious days for a Chandra Homam
The Chandra Homam is timed to the Moon's own hours.
The Moon's weekday, and the standard choice for chandra homam. Chandra hora on a Monday morning is held to be the strongest window.
The three nakshatras ruled by Chandra. A homam performed on the devotee's own Rohini, Hasta or Shravana day carries particular weight.
The waxing fortnight and the full moon, when Chandra is at full strength. Devotees seeking to build the Moon's benefic effects prefer these days.
Traditionally taken up at the opening of a Chandra mahadasha or antardasha, or during a transit of the Moon over a sensitive point in the chart.
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 homam 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 Chandra Yantra
The Chandra 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 homam, receiving the energies raised in the fire. When your homam 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 homam 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.

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 homam 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 Chandra Yantra
Your auspicious time to wear it
Wear it for the first time on a Monday, 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 Chandra Homam is performed
Sankalpa
The priest states your name, gotra and nakshatra — and those of up to four family members — with the intention this homam 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.
Chandra Avahana
The mula mantra of Chandra is 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 mantra of Chandra — 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 Chandra Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.
Chandra
Second among the Navagrahas, the Moon god rides a chariot drawn by ten white horses, or by antelopes, holding a mace and a lotus, his body pale as curd and his light cool rather than burning. The Vedas call him Soma, the shining draught of the sacrifice; the Puranas call him lord of plants, waters and the fortnight's waxing and waning. Astrology gives him manas — the mind, memory, mood and sleep — along with the mother, milk and all that is soft and receptive in a life. He is husband to the twenty-seven nakshatras, and his own light rises and falls with them. Devotees turn to him when inner weather grows unsteady, when thought will not settle, and when the gentler side of life needs nourishing.
In this homam that grace is invoked through fire, with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.
