The Ritual and Its Weight
Mrigashira is the star of the searching deer — the head that lifts, scents the wind, and moves on. Those born under it carry that restlessness as a gift: curiosity, quick perception, an ear for what is unsaid. The Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homam is offered so that this seeking is guarded and given direction, rather than scattered. Ghee, samidha and the Vedic nakshatra mantras are given to the fire in your name, with your birth star, gotra and sankalpa spoken aloud at the altar.
In the tradition, a birth-star homam is performed when the ruling star's period turns active in your dasha, before a new venture or marriage, or simply once a year to keep the connection clean. The Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homam invokes Soma, the nectar-lord of the Moon, whose grace is prescribed for calm mind, wholesome nourishment and steady household fortune. Our priests perform it at the Yagna Ashram on your behalf and telecast the fire live to you, wherever you are.
सोमो धेनुं सोमो अर्वन्तमाशुं सोमो वीरं कर्मण्यं ददाति। सादन्यं विदथ्यं सभेयं पितृश्रवणं यो ददाशदस्मै॥ Soma grants the milk-giving cow, the swift steed and the capable, courageous child; to the one who offers to him, Soma gives worthiness at home, in council and in assembly, and good repute among the forefathers.Benefits of the Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homam
What the tradition prescribes the Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homam for, when your birth star is Mrigashira:
Alignment with your birth star
The homam is offered in your name and nakshatra, renewing the link between you and the star that presided over your first breath.
Protection through the star's period
Traditionally performed when Mrigashira or its lord grows active in your dasha or transit, as a shield around travel, work and family.
Steadiness for a seeking mind
Soma is invoked for coolness and clarity, so that curiosity settles into focus instead of restlessness.
Prosperity of the household
The Vedic verse to Soma asks for cattle, swift horses and a well-kept home — the classical vocabulary of nourishment and abundance.
Support before beginnings
Devotees book it ahead of a marriage, a move, an examination or a new venture, so the start is made under a friendly star.
An annual observance
Many families keep the homam each year on their Mrigashira star day, the way one keeps a lamp lit at the same hour.

The most auspicious days for a Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homam
The Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homam is best offered when the star itself is awake in the sky.
The monthly return of your janma nakshatra is the classical day for a birth-star homam — the star's own hours are held most receptive.
Soma presides over Mrigashira and over Monday. A Monday falling on or near the star day is especially sought.
The lunar month named for this very star, when the full moon rises in or near Mrigashira, is a traditional time for the offering.
Ahead of a wedding, a journey, a house-warming or the onset of the ruling planet's dasha, the homam is performed on the nearest suitable muhurat.
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 Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Yantra
The Mrigasirisha 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 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 Mrigasirisha Nakshatra 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 Mrigasirisha Nakshatra 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.
Soma Avahana
The mula mantra of Soma 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 Soma — 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 Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.
Soma
Lord of the moon-nectar, Soma presides over the cool sap that runs through plants, cattle and the minds of men. The Rigveda devotes an entire mandala to him, praising the pressed stalk whose juice the gods drink; in later tradition he is Chandra, the white-bodied lord who rides a chariot drawn by antelopes, holding a vessel of amrita, waxing and waning through the fortnights. He governs sleep, memory, taste, herbs and the milk of the herd, and is called the nourisher of the household and the giver of a hero-son. Devotees turn to him when the mind runs ahead of itself, when sleep is thin, or when the body and home need feeding. The verse offered here asks him for cattle, a swift horse, and a son able in work and fit for the assembly.
In this homam that grace is invoked through fire, with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.
