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 Homa 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 homa 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 Homa 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.

Why Devotees Book This

What the tradition prescribes the Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homa for, when your birth star is Mrigashira:

Alignment with your birth star

The homa 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 homa each year on their Mrigashira star day, the way one keeps a lamp lit at the same hour.

Sacred timing

The most auspicious days for a Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homa

The Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homa is best offered when the star itself is awake in the sky.

Mrigashira nakshatra day

The monthly return of your janma nakshatra is the classical day for a birth-star homa — the star's own hours are held most receptive.

Mondays and Soma hora

Soma presides over Mrigashira and over Monday. A Monday falling on or near the star day is especially sought.

Margashirsha month and its full moon

The lunar month named for this very star, when the full moon rises in or near Mrigashira, is a traditional time for the offering.

Before a new undertaking

Ahead of a wedding, a journey, a house-warming or the onset of the ruling planet's dasha, the homa 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 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 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 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.

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 Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Yantra

01

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.

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 Mrigasirisha 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

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.

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 Soma — 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 Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.

Who is invoked

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

Questions

Frequently asked

The Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homa, or Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homam, is a Vedic fire ritual offered to Soma, the presiding deity of Mrigashira, the deer-head star. Your name, gotra and birth star are placed in the sankalpa, and ghee and samidha are offered with mantra. Tradition holds that the star under which you were born governs the texture of your days; the homa is the way that bond is honoured, cleaned and strengthened.
The tradition prescribes it for alignment with your birth star, protection through the periods it rules, calm and clarity for a seeking mind, and the household prosperity that the rite invokes — nourishment, good repute, a steady home. Devotees also offer it before marriages, journeys and new work. It is a prayer made in fire, offered on your nakshatra.
Anyone born under Mrigashira nakshatra, in any of its four padas. Parents commonly book it for a child born in this star, and families offer it for a member entering the dasha or bhukti of the star's lord. It is also taken up before weddings and new ventures. You do not need to attend — qualified priests perform it on your behalf at our Yagna Ashram and stream it to you.
The Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homa is performed by our priests at the Yagna Ashram, beginning with achamana, Ganapati puja and punyahavachana, then the sankalpa in your name, gotra and Mrigashira nakshatra. The kunda is prepared and Agni invoked. Offerings follow to the navagrahas and then, in the main sequence, to Soma with mantra, every priest making their own offerings: cow ghee, the prescribed samidha, rice, sesame, navadhanya, herbs, flowers and payasam. The rite closes with purnahuti, aarti, prayer for the yajamana and prasadam. You watch it all on live telecast.
You can book the Mrigasirisha 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 Mrigasirisha 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 Soma — a day when the Moon is in Mrigashira, a Monday (above all one on or near that star day), or the month of Margashirsha and its full moon — 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 Mrigasirisha 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 Mrigasirisha 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 Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Yantra are couriered to you anywhere in the world, free of shipping cost.
Every Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homa package includes the energised Mrigasirisha 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, usually reaching you in 1–2 weeks within India and 2–4 weeks internationally from the homa’s completion; 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.

Your ritual date is an auspicious muhurta calculated personally for you — not a slot on a rota. Once it is confirmed, rescheduling from the customer's side is not available, and cancellation does not carry a refund. If we ever have to move your ritual for unforeseen reasons at the ashram, we will inform you immediately and provide a fresh auspicious date at no cost — and your telecast, recording, prasadam and yantra remain exactly as promised.
