The Ritual and Its Weight
Moola means root. It is the nakshatra that sits at the heart of the galaxy, ruled by Ketu, presided over by Nirriti — the deity who governs dissolution, the cutting away of what has finished. A child born under Moola is born at a point of great intensity. The tradition does not read this as misfortune. It reads it as a star that asks for early consecration, the way strong soil asks for careful planting. The Moola Nakshatra Homa is that consecration, offered in fire.
The Moola Nakshatra Homam invokes Nirriti along with Ketu, the star's lord, and offers ghee, samidha and specific herbs into the kunda while the nakshatra's own mantras are chanted the prescribed number of times. Families book it for a newborn born in Moola, for a child before schooling or upanayanam, on the yearly return of the birth star, and during a Ketu dasha or bhukti. What is being asked for is alignment — that you and your birth star move in the same direction, so that its intensity works as depth rather than turbulence.
ॐ निरृतये नमः · Om Nirṛtaye Namaḥ · ಓಂ ನಿರೃತಯೇ ನಮಃ Salutations to Nirriti, presiding deity of the Moola star — may she dissolve what has outlived its use and guard the root of this life.Why Devotees Book This
The tradition prescribes this homa for those whose janma nakshatra is Moola, and for the families who carry them. Here is what it is offered for.
Alignment with your birth star
The rite is timed and chanted to your own nakshatra, so the star you were born under is honoured rather than left unattended.
Protection for a newborn
Traditionally offered when a child is born in Moola, especially at the first return of the star, as a shanti for mother, child and household.
Steadiness during Ketu periods
Ketu rules Moola. Families turn to this homa when a Ketu dasha or antardasha begins and life feels uprooted.
Release of old entanglements
Nirriti is invoked to loosen knots — stalled matters, repeated patterns, attachments that no longer serve the household.
Prosperity that holds
Moola is the root. The offering asks that what you build stands on firm ground rather than shallow soil.
Clarity of direction
Moola natives are seekers by nature. The homa is offered so that searching becomes focus, not restlessness.

The most auspicious days for a Moola Nakshatra Homa
Moola returns roughly once every twenty-seven days.
The most prescribed window. Performed on the day the moon transits Moola, ideally in the morning hours of the nakshatra.
When the birth star returns for the first time after a child's birth, the classical texts advise this shanti be offered.
Many devotees repeat the homa each year on the return of their janma nakshatra, before or on their solar birthday.
When Ketu's period begins in your chart, the homa is offered at its opening to set the tone of the years ahead.
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 Moola 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 Moola 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 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 Moola Nakshatra Homa is performed
Sankalpa
The priest states your name, gotra and nakshatra — and those of up to five 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.
Nirriti Avahana
The mula mantra of Nirriti 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.
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 Moola Nakshatra Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.
Nirriti
Presiding over Moola, Nirriti is the Vedic power of dissolution — the one who governs endings, decay, and the letting go of what has completed its term. The Rigveda addresses her in hymns of release, asking that her bonds be loosened and that life be led toward light. Later tradition places her among the guardians of the directions, holding the southwest, shown dark in colour, seated on a donkey or on a man, bearing sword and shield. She is not approached in fear. Devotees turn to her as the one who clears ground, since nothing new roots where the old still stands. In this rite Ketu, the lord of Moola, is honoured alongside her, the shadow graha of detachment and inward turning.
In this homa that grace is invoked through fire, with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.
