The Ritual and Its Weight
The Dhanvantari Homam is a fire offering made to Dhanvantari, the divine physician who emerged from the churning of the milk ocean holding the pot of amrita. When illness lingers, when strength does not return after treatment, when a family carries a long-running complaint from one generation to the next, the tradition turns to this fire. Ghee, medicinal herbs and grains are offered into the kunda while the Dhanvantari mantra is chanted, verse after verse, until the flame itself becomes the vessel of nectar.
This is not a substitute for medicine. The shastra places the Dhanvantari homam beside treatment, not instead of it — it is offered so that the healing hand steadies, the body accepts what is given to it, and the mind stops fighting its own recovery. At our Yagna Ashram, priests perform the homam in your name and gotra, and you watch the fire live wherever you are. The prasadam and the energised Dhanvantari Yantra reach your door afterwards.
ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय धन्वन्तरये अमृतकलशहस्ताय सर्वामयविनाशनाय त्रैलोक्यनाथाय श्रीमहाविष्णवे नमः Salutations to Lord Dhanvantari, who holds the vessel of nectar in his hand, destroyer of all afflictions, lord of the three worlds — an appeal to him to remove disease and grant health and long life.Benefits of the Dhanvantari Homam
These are the intentions the tradition assigns to the Dhanvantari homam. Devotees bring them to the fire; the outcome rests with the deity.
Strength through convalescence
Offered when someone is convalescing after fever, surgery or a long hospital stay, and the family wants divine support alongside treatment.
Prayer through chronic ailments
Traditionally invoked for complaints that recur season after season and never fully clear — the fire is offered for their easing.
Vitality and strength
For those who feel drained without clear cause, the homam is prescribed to restore ojas, appetite and everyday stamina.
Longevity in the family
Elders and newborns alike are named in the sankalpa, with prayers for ayush — a long, sound and unburdened span of life.
Steadiness of mind in sickness
Illness wearies the spirit before the body. The Dhanvantari mantra is chanted for calm, patience and courage through treatment.
Blessings on healers and their work
Doctors, vaidyas, therapists and caregivers offer this homam for clarity of judgement and a steady hand in their service.

The most auspicious days for a Dhanvantari Homam
Dhanvantari has his own days in the calendar.
The thirteenth tithi of the dark fortnight of Ashwin marks Dhanvantari's appearance from the ocean. The most sought-after day for this homam.
Vishnu tithis suit an offering to Dhanvantari, who is counted an amsha of Vishnu. Dwadashi mornings are especially favoured.
Nakshatras associated with health, renewal and the divine physicians are chosen when the sankalpa is for health.
When a case is urgent, priests do not wait for a festival. The pre-dawn hour is fixed against your birth details and the fire is lit.
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 Dhanvantari Yantra
The Dhanvantari 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

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 Dhanvantari Yantra
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 Dhanvantari 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.
Dhanvantari Avahana
The mula mantra of Dhanvantari 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 Dhanvantari — 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 Dhanvantari Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.
Dhanvantari
Dhanvantari is the physician of the gods, the form of Viṣṇu who rose from the ocean of milk bearing the pot of amṛta and the science of healing. He is depicted as a youthful two- or four-armed figure, dark or deep blue, holding a leech, a pot of nectar, herbs, and sometimes the cakra. Āyurvedic lineages regard him as the celestial origin of their knowledge; the Suśruta Saṃhitā opens by saluting him as the one who taught the surgical art to the sages. Unlike martial or royal avatāras, Dhanvantari’s brief is the restoration of balance within the body and the quieting of disease. The mantra addressed to him therefore names the deity who stands at the intersection of divine compassion and empirical medicine, the one who carries the kalasha of immortality yet teaches the measured use of herbs, minerals and surgical instruments.
In this homam that grace is invoked through fire, with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.
