The Ritual and Its Weight

The Purusha Sukta is one of the most revered hymns of the Rig Veda. It describes the Purusha — the Cosmic Being whose body is the visible universe, whose thousand heads and thousand eyes are every creature that lives. In the Purusha Suktha Homa, these sixteen verses are chanted into consecrated fire, mantra by mantra, with each offering surrendered to that one Being. The rite is not a petition for a single thing. It is an act of remembering where you came from.

Because the hymn is chanted in nearly every major Vedic ritual as an act of self-offering, the purusha sukta homam is treated as a Maha homa — a rite of high order, done with full ritual detail and a longer chanting sequence. Devotees turn to it when they want their practice to deepen, when the mind will not settle, and when they wish to place a family, a household or a new chapter of life under divine protection rather than under their own effort alone.

सहस्रशीर्षा पुरुषः सहस्राक्षः सहस्रपात् । स भूमिं विश्वतो वृत्वा अत्यतिष्ठद्दशाङ्गुलम् ॥ The Cosmic Being has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes and a thousand feet; he pervades the earth on every side and yet extends beyond it — the verse acknowledges that all beings and all worlds rest within that one Purusha.
Before you choose

What a Maha Homa is

Not every fire ritual is performed at the same scale. A Maha Homa is our largest form — more priests, a longer fire, and the complete chanting sequence the rite prescribes rather than an abridged one. This is what that means in practice.

TelecastEvery minuteNothing is performed off camera

A Maha Homa is never a group ceremony, the same as any homa we conduct. What the scale changes is the weight of the offering — ten trained voices holding one hymn for two hours is a different undertaking from one voice for an hour, and it is reserved for the intentions that warrant it.

Why Devotees Book This

The tradition prescribes the Purusha Suktha Homa for those who want their inner life to grow steady. These are the intentions devotees bring to the fire.

Deepened devotion

The hymn is a surrender, not a request. Devotees offer it to soften the ego and let bhakti take firmer root in daily practice.

Inner quiet

Sixteen verses chanted slowly into fire have a settling effect. Many book this rite when the mind is restless and prayer feels mechanical.

Divine grace

Purusha is invoked as the source of all beings. The homa is performed to place yourself knowingly within that grace rather than outside it.

Purification of the inner field

Traditionally the Sukta is chanted to cleanse subtle impressions — old guilt, agitation, the residue of harsh years.

Blessing for the household

Families offer this homa for harmony under one roof, and for children and elders to be held in the same protection.

A firm beginning

Before a new home, a long sadhana, a vow or a life change, the purusha suktha homa is offered so the undertaking begins in sanctity.

Sacred timing

The most auspicious days for a Purusha Suktha Homa

The Purusha Sukta belongs to Vishnu-centred worship, so the days sacred to Narayana are held to be most fitting.

Shravana Nakshatra

The star of Vishnu. Chanting the Purusha Sukta on Shravana days is considered especially fitting for devotion-centred intentions.

Ekadashi and Dwadashi

The eleventh and twelfth lunar days, kept for Narayana worship and fasting, are widely chosen for this homa.

Thursdays and Purnima

Thursday carries Guru's blessing for spiritual study; the full moon lends fullness to any Maha homa of surrender.

Vaikunta Ekadashi and Sravana month

Devotees who plan ahead often request these periods, when Vishnu worship is at its height across traditions.

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

What you receive

The Purusha Suktha Yantra sealed inside the sacred silver amulet
An actual amulet received by a devotee. Your Purusha Suktha 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.

The sealing of the Purusha Suktha Yantra

The Purusha Suktha 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.

This is what arrives at your door, at no extra cost, with your prasadam.

Personal sankalpa

Your name, gotra & nakshatra — and up to four family members if you wish. No one else is named.

After it arrives

How to wear your energised Purusha Suktha Yantra

01

Your auspicious time to wear it

Wear it for the first time on a Thursday, 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.

Who is invoked

Purusha Narayana

The Cosmic Being of the Rig Veda's hymn is Narayana, worshipped here as Purusha — the one Person whose body is the whole visible world. The verses see him with a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, a thousand feet, covering the earth on every side and standing beyond it. From his self-offering the tradition sees the worlds, the seasons, the Vedas and all living beings arise, so that creation itself is understood as a sacrifice. Vaishnava practice identifies this Purusha with Narayana, the sustainer who lies on the waters and holds all forms within himself. Devotees turn to this form when they seek not a single boon but a settled remembrance of their source, and when they wish household and practice alike placed in that keeping.

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

Questions

Frequently asked

The Purusha Suktha Homa, also called the Purusha Sukta Homam, is a Vedic fire ritual built around the Purusha Sukta of the Rig Veda, the hymn to Purusha, the Cosmic Being whose body is the visible universe and from whom the worlds, the seasons and all living creatures arose. The priests chant its verses into consecrated fire, surrendering each offering to that one Being. Its significance lies in that surrender: the hymn is recited in nearly every major Vedic rite, and performed on its own it becomes an act of remembering where you came from. Our priests perform it at our Yagna Ashram in Pollachi, Coimbatore District, telecast live to you.
Devotees offer this homa to Purusha Narayana to deepen devotion: the hymn is a surrender rather than a request, offered to soften the ego and let bhakti take firmer root in daily practice. It is also sought for inner quiet when the mind is restless and prayer feels mechanical, for the purification of old impressions such as guilt, agitation and the residue of harsh years, and for a household held in harmony, with children and elders under the same protection. Many offer it before a new house, a long sadhana or a vow, so that the undertaking begins in sanctity. It is offered as prayer.
Anyone may book this homa, of any age, tradition or country; the chanting itself is done by our priests, since the Sukta demands accurate svara and an unbroken sequence. It is commonly chosen by devotees who want their practice deepened, seekers beginning a vow or a long sadhana, families seeking harmony under one roof, and those marking a new chapter of life. Our priests perform it on your behalf while you watch the live telecast. It is a private ceremony for you and up to four family members, never combined with another booking.
The priests begin with the sankalpa in your name, gotra and nakshatra, followed by Ganapati puja and punyahavachana. The kunda is prepared and Agni invoked, the kalasha is established and the deity invited, and the Purusha Sukta is then chanted verse by verse with an ahuti at each mantra, every priest making their own offerings in the one ceremony. Further mantras follow, then purnahuti, deeparadhana and mantra pushpam. The samagri includes ghee, samidha, havan dravya, rice, sesame, navadhanya, flowers, fruit, coconut, betel, camphor and the kalasha articles, all arranged by the ashram, and you watch on the live telecast.
You can book the Purusha Suktha Homa with five or ten 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 completes 12 complete recitations of the Purusha Sukta: 60 in all with five priests and 120 with ten, in approximately 2 hours. A larger package adds priests and offerings, not a second ceremony. Choose the scale that fits your intention, preference and budget; the five-priest homa is complete in itself, and no package guarantees a particular result.
Yes. Our listed Purusha Suktha Homa packages specify standard ritual quantities 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 requested recitation or offering 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.
Approximately two hours, whichever package you choose: the priests perform together and make their offerings at the same time, so ten 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 Purusha Narayana — Shravana nakshatra, Ekadashi or Dwadashi, a Thursday or Purnima, Vaikunta Ekadashi, or the month of Shravana — 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 Purusha Suktha 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 recitations 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 Purusha Suktha 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 five or ten 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 Purusha Suktha Yantra are couriered to you anywhere in the world, free of shipping cost.
Every Purusha Suktha Homa package includes the energised Purusha Suktha 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.
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.
