The Ritual and Its Weight

The Pushya Nakshatra Homa is a birth-star rite. Pushya is the eighth nakshatra, the flower that feeds — its symbol is the cow's udder, its lord Brihaspati, guru of the devas. Vedic tradition holds that the star under which you drew your first breath keeps a quiet claim on your life. When that star's presiding deity is honoured in fire, the tradition says the connection is renewed and the native walks under a settled sky.

Devotees turn to the pushya nakshatra homa at the turn of a personal year, before a long undertaking, or when the days feel scattered and unfed. Priests kindle the fire at our Yagna Ashram in your name and gotra, offer to Brihaspati through the Pushya oblations, and place your sankalpa in the flame. You watch it live, wherever you are. Nothing is asked of you but your attention.

ॐ बृहस्पते अति यदर्यो अर्हाद् द्युमद्विभाति क्रतुमज्जनेषु । यद्दीदयच्छवस ऋतप्रजात तदस्मासु द्रविणं धेहि चित्रम् ॥ Brihaspati, born of truth, whose radiance shines beyond all rivalry and illumines the wisdom of people — place in us that bright and manifold wealth.

Why Devotees Book This

Those born under Pushya, and those whose transits touch it, offer this fire for these reasons.

Alignment with your birth star

The rite is offered in your name, gotra and nakshatra, honouring the star that presided over your birth.

The blessing of nourishment

Pushya is the nakshatra of feeding and increase. Devotees offer this homa seeking sustenance in home, work and health.

Protection on the road ahead

Tradition prescribes birth-star fires before journeys, relocations and long ventures, as a shield placed in advance.

Brihaspati's counsel

The guru of the devas is the lord of this star. Devotees invoke him for right judgement and sound guidance in decisions.

Steadiness in prosperity

Rather than sudden gain, Pushya is associated with slow, rooted growth. The homa is offered for that kind of increase.

A settled mind

Devotees describe the live darshan of their own birth-star fire as grounding — a fixed point in a restless season.

Sacred timing

The most auspicious days for a Pushya Nakshatra Homa

The fire is most often lit on these days.

Pushya nakshatra day

The natural day for this homa is when the moon transits Pushya, which recurs each lunar month. The star's own hour is considered the strongest window.

Guru Pushya Yoga

When Pushya falls on a Thursday, Brihaspati's own day, the combination is held in high regard for beginnings, learning and lasting acquisitions.

Your birthday by nakshatra

Many devotees offer the homa on their janma nakshatra day each year, renewing the bond with the star at the turn of a personal cycle.

Before a major undertaking

A new house, a new venture, a child's education or a long relocation — tradition places the birth-star fire before the step, not after.

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 Pushya Nakshatra Yantra

The Pushya 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.

Hear yours read back, as the priest will say it →

Live telecast

Prasadam, shipped free

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 Pushya Nakshatra 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.

Inside the fire ritual

How your Pushya 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

Brihaspati Avahana

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

Who is invoked

Brihaspati

Guru of the devas, Brihaspati presides over the eighth star as its deity, and his nature matches its symbol of the cow's udder — steady nourishment given without stint. The Rig Veda addresses him as Brahmanaspati, lord of sacred speech, the one who shapes prayer into effective form and stands beside Indra in the councils of the gods. He is shown golden, seated on a lotus or drawn by pale horses, holding a rosary, a water pot and a staff, the right hand raised in blessing. Jyotisha places him as the great benefic, governing wisdom, teachers, dharma, children, right counsel and the growth of what has been planted well. Devotees come to him for clarity of judgement, for learning that holds, and for the blessing of a guru.

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

Questions

Frequently asked

The Pushya Nakshatra Homa, also called the Pushya Nakshatra Homam, is a Vedic fire ritual offered to Brihaspati, guru of the devas and presiding deity of Pushya, the eighth nakshatra, on behalf of those born under it. Pushya is the star of nourishment: its name means 'to nourish' and its symbol is the cow's udder. The homa honours the star under which you drew your first breath, renewing that link through mantra and oblation so that you walk under a settled sky. Tradition regards the birth-star rite as one of the most personal acts of alignment open to a householder. Our priests perform it at our Yagna Ashram in Pollachi, Coimbatore District, telecast live to you.
Devotees offer this homa to Brihaspati for alignment with their birth star and for the blessing of nourishment, since Pushya is the nakshatra of feeding and increase, sought for sustenance in family life and work. It is also offered as protection placed in advance before journeys, relocations and long ventures; for Brihaspati's counsel, right judgement and sound guidance in study, teaching and important decisions; for slow, rooted prosperity rather than sudden gain; and for a settled mind in a restless season. It is offered as prayer.
Anyone born under Pushya nakshatra, in any of its padas, may book this homa, and parents commonly offer it for a child born under Pushya. It is also offered by those whose dasha or current transits touch Pushya, by anyone advised towards it by their astrologer, and by those about to take a large step, such as a new house, a new venture, a child's education or a long relocation. Our priests perform the rite on your behalf; you need only give your name, gotra and birth star. It is a private ceremony for you and up to four family members, never combined with another booking.
The priests begin with achamana, Ganapati puja and the sankalpa taken in your name, gotra and nakshatra. Agni is invoked in the kunda and consecrated, and Brihaspati is invited into the fire. The ahutis are offered: ghee, samidha of the nakshatra's tree, rice, sesame, navadhanya, honey and dry fruits, every priest making their own offerings in the one ceremony. Purnahuti closes the fire, followed by aarti and prayers for your welfare. You watch the whole sequence on the live telecast, wherever you are.
You can book the Pushya 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 Pushya 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 tradition favours for the Pushya Nakshatra Homa — the day the Moon transits Pushya, above all Guru Pushya Yoga, when Pushya falls on a Thursday, your janma nakshatra day each year, or the days before a new house, a new venture, a child's education or a long relocation — 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 Pushya 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 Pushya 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 Pushya Nakshatra Yantra are couriered to you anywhere in the world, free of shipping cost.
Every Pushya Nakshatra Homa package includes the energised Pushya 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.
