The Ritual and Its Weight

Hasta is the nakshatra of the hand — the palm held open, the fingers that shape, count, heal and give. Its presiding deity is Savitr, the impelling Sun, the one who sets things in motion at dawn. The Hasta Nakshatra Homa is the fire rite offered to that star and that deity, performed for a devotee born under Hasta or passing through its dasha or transit periods.

In the tradition, your janma nakshatra is not merely a label on a horoscope. It is the doorway through which your prarabdha reaches you. When that doorway is honoured with fire, mantra and offering — on the day the Moon returns to Hasta, or on your birth-star day each month — the classical texts prescribe it for protection, for clarity of purpose, and for the steadying of livelihood. Our priests perform the hasta nakshatra homam on your behalf at the Yagna Ashram and telecast it to you, wherever you are.

ॐ सवित्रे नमः । तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि । धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥ We meditate upon the radiant glory of Savitr, the divine impeller; may he set our thoughts and our work in right motion.

Why Devotees Book This

Devotees turn to the Hasta Nakshatra Homa when they wish to align with their birth star and ask Savitr for protection and steady prosperity.

Birth-star alignment

Offered for those born under Hasta, to honour the janma nakshatra and settle the influences it carries through a lifetime.

Protection through Hasta periods

Traditionally prescribed when the Moon, a dasha or a difficult transit moves through Hasta, and you want the fire to stand between you and the turbulence.

Skill and livelihood

Hasta rules the hand and its crafts. Artisans, surgeons, writers, cooks, traders and healers offer this homa for steadiness in the work their hands do.

Clarity and right effort

Savitr is the impeller of thought. The rite is offered for focus, for decisive action, and for effort that does not scatter.

Prosperity that holds

The open palm of Hasta is the palm that receives and the palm that gives. Devotees offer this homa for sustained wealth rather than sudden gain.

For children of Hasta

Parents book the homa for a child born in Hasta — as a blessing at naming, at Aksharabhyasa, or on each returning birth-star day.

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.

Step 2 Enhance with the 48-Day Anushthan? (optional)

* Your Hasta Nakshatra Yantra is a copper plate approx. 1–2 inches, rolled and sealed inside a silver amulet approx. 2–4 inches. Sizes are approximate and the amulet's design varies between supplier batches — shape, metal and consecration remain the same.

Sacred timing

The most auspicious days for a Hasta Nakshatra Homa

The homa is most auspicious when the sky itself is turned toward Hasta. Our panchanga desk fixes the muhurat for you and confirms the date before the rite.

Hasta Nakshatra day

The day the Moon transits Hasta — the natural day for this homa, returning once every lunar month.

Your janma nakshatra day

Devotees born under Hasta offer the homa on their birth-star day each month, or once a year near the solar birthday.

Sunrise Brahma muhurat

Savitr is the dawn impeller. The early morning hours are held most fitting for the offerings to Him.

Before beginnings

Prescribed before a new venture, a move, a marriage, a surgery or the start of an apprenticeship, when the hands are about to take up new work.

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 Hasta Nakshatra Yantra

The Hasta 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 Hasta 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.

After it arrives

How to wear your energised Hasta Nakshatra Yantra

01

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.

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 Hasta 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

Savitr Avahana

The mula mantra of Savitr 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 Savitr — 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 Hasta Nakshatra Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.

Who is invoked

Savitr

Savitr is the Sun in his impelling aspect — not the disc that merely shines, but the power that sets things moving at first light and draws them to rest at dusk. The Rigveda calls him golden-handed, hiranya-hasta, and hymns him with raised arms of light that reach across the worlds; the famous Gayatri verse, tat savitur varenyam, is addressed to him. He governs beginnings, right impulse, and the quickening of thought and skill. As lord of the star of the open palm, he presides over what hands do — craft, healing, counting, giving, service done well. Devotees turn to this form when work must find direction, when discipline needs steadying, and when they wish their daily labour to be offered as something more than labour.

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

Questions

Frequently asked

The Hasta Nakshatra Homa is the fire rite offered to Hasta, the nakshatra of the hand, and to its presiding deity Savitr, the impelling Sun who sets things in motion at dawn. It is performed for a devotee born under Hasta or passing through its dasha or transit periods. In the tradition, your janma nakshatra is not merely a label on a horoscope; it is the doorway through which your prarabdha reaches you, and honouring it with fire, mantra and offering is prescribed for protection, clarity of purpose and the steadying of livelihood. Our priests perform the Hasta Nakshatra Homam on your behalf at our Yagna Ashram and telecast it to you live.
Hasta is the thirteenth nakshatra, spanning 10°00' to 23°20' of Kanya (Virgo). Its symbol is the open hand or palm, its presiding deity is Savitr, the impelling Sun of dawn, and its ruling planet is Chandra, the Moon; its five stars form the shape of a hand in the sky. Classed as a light and swift nakshatra and held to be benevolent, Hasta governs skill, craft, healing, precision work and the ability to hold what one has earned. No nakshatra is unlucky: each carries its own strengths and its own tests.
Devotees turn to the Hasta Nakshatra Homa for birth-star alignment, honouring the janma nakshatra and settling the influences it carries through a lifetime. It is prescribed for protection when the Moon, a dasha or a difficult transit moves through Hasta. Because Hasta rules the hand, artisans, surgeons, writers, cooks, traders and healers offer it for steadiness in the work their hands do, and because Savitr impels thought, it is sought for focus and effort that does not scatter. It is also offered for prosperity that holds rather than sudden gain, and as a blessing for a Hasta-born child. It is offered as prayer.
The Hasta Nakshatra Homa is for anyone born under Hasta nakshatra, or with the Moon, Lagna or a significant planet placed there. It is also offered by those running a Chandra dasha or bhukti connected to Hasta, by parents on behalf of a Hasta-born child, and by those in hand-skilled work such as surgeons, artisans, musicians, cooks, therapists and traders. You do not perform it yourself: our qualified priests perform it on your behalf at our Yagna Ashram, and you watch the live telecast. It is one private ceremony for you and up to four members of your family, never a group rite.
The priests begin with achamana, Ganapati puja and punyahavachana to purify the space, then declare your sankalpa with your name, gotra and nakshatra. The kalasha is established, Agni is kindled in the kunda, and Savitr is invoked as the devata of Hasta. The ahutis follow: ghee, samidha, havis, grains, sesame and the nakshatra's prescribed vanaspati, each offered into the fire with mantra, every priest making their own offerings in the one ceremony. The rite closes with purnahuti, the full oblation, followed by arati, prarthana and prasadam. You watch it all on live telecast.
You can book the Hasta 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 Hasta 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 traditionally sacred to Savitr — the day the Moon transits Hasta each lunar month, your own birth-star day, the dawn hours, or the eve of a new venture, a move, a marriage or an apprenticeship — 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 Hasta 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 Hasta 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 Hasta Nakshatra Yantra are couriered to you anywhere in the world, free of shipping cost.
Every Hasta Nakshatra Homa package includes the energised Hasta 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; 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.
