The Ritual and Its Weight

Some obstacles announce themselves. Others simply sit there — the file that never moves, the alliance that never closes, the year that passes with effort but no ground gained. The Ruru Bhairava Homa is addressed to exactly this kind of blockage. Ruru is one of the eight Bhairavas, the fierce guardian forms of Shiva, and tradition places him at the threshold: he is called upon where a road has been shut and needs opening.

In the Ruru Bhairava homa, the priest builds the fire, seats the deity in it through mantra, and offers each oblation with your name, gotra and nakshatra spoken aloud. The rite is not a request for luck. It is the tradition's way of naming an obstruction, placing it in the fire, and asking the guardian of thresholds to stand at yours. Our priests perform it at the AstroBhava Yagna Ashram on your behalf, and you watch it live from wherever you are.

ॐ ह्रीं रुरु भैरवाय नमः Salutations to Ruru Bhairava — may the fierce guardian open the way that has been closed.

Why Devotees Book This

Devotees turn to the Ruru Bhairava Homa when effort is not the problem and movement still will not come. Here is what the tradition prescribes it for.

Stalled work

Offered when a project, case or application has stopped moving for reasons no one can point to.

Repeated delay

Traditionally invoked where the same plan is postponed again and again — the pattern itself is placed in the fire.

Blocked thresholds

Ruru Bhairava is the guardian of doorways. The rite is done before a move, a new venture, or an interview that matters.

Opposition and interference

Prescribed when human resistance, rivalry or ill will is felt to be holding a matter back.

Fear and hesitation

The fierce forms of Shiva are invoked for courage — to steady the mind that has grown tired of trying.

Protection of what moves again

Offered so that progress once resumed is guarded, and the same door does not close a second time.

Step 1 How many priests will perform your homa?

Has your astrologer prescribed a different number of ahutis? Our priests can review it and arrange a customised homa. Call our Devotee Relationship Team on +91 96295 55442 — they confirm the count, the priests, the approximate duration and the total price before you book.

Step 2 Enhance with the 48-Day Anushthan? (optional)

* Your Ruru Bhairava 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.

Sacred timing

The most auspicious days for a Ruru Bhairava Homa

Bhairava rites follow the waning fortnight and the hours that lean toward Shiva. Our panchanga team fixes the muhurat for your Ruru Bhairava homa and confirms it to you.

Ashtami tithi

The eighth lunar day, especially Krishna Ashtami, is the classical day for all Bhairava worship.

Tuesdays and Sundays

Traditionally held for the fierce forms of Shiva, and favoured for rites that remove obstruction.

Bhairava Ashtami

Kalabhairava Ashtami in Margashirsha is considered the most potent window of the year for Bhairava homas.

Ardra, Bharani or Swati

Nakshatras used for Rudra-related offerings; chosen when they fall in harmony with your own birth star.

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 Ruru Bhairava Yantra

The Ruru Bhairava 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

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.

Shipped to you with your prasadam.

Prasadam, shipped free

Sacred vibhuti, sandalwood powder & kumkum from your fire — delivered to any country.

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 Ruru Bhairava Yantra

01

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.

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 Ruru Bhairava Homa is performed

Priests performing the Ruru Bhairava Homa at AstroBhava's Yagna AshramThese seven steps, as they happenFrom a live telecast at our Yagna Ashram
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

Ruru Bhairava Avahana

The mula mantra of Ruru Bhairava 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 Ruru Bhairava — 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 Ruru Bhairava Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.

Who is invoked

Ruru Bhairava

Ruru Bhairava is the second of the eight Bhairavas who arise as directional guardians from the fierce body of Shiva in the Tantric classifications preserved in the Sharada Tilaka and the Rudrayamala. His name is taken from ruru, a word that names both a swift antelope of the Indian forests and a low, resonant cry. Iconographic passages assign him a smoky-blue or deep indigo complexion, four or more arms carrying trident, damaru, noose and sword, and an ox as vahana. In the circular mandala of the Ashta Bhairavas he is stationed after Asitanga and before Chanda, in the south-eastern quarter. Commentaries link his antelope swiftness to the sudden cutting of subtle karmic residues that cling like hide, yet the texts speak only of his nature and station, never of any automatic result that follows his name.

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

Questions

Frequently asked

The Ruru Bhairava Homa, also called the Ruru Bhairava Homam, is a Vedic fire ritual addressed to Ruru Bhairava, one of the eight fierce guardian forms of Shiva. Its significance lies in his role as keeper of thresholds: the rite is prescribed where a path has closed and needs to open. Ghee, herbs and other offerings are made into the consecrated fire as the priests chant, with the obstruction named on your behalf. Our priests perform it at our Yagna Ashram, and you watch it live from wherever you are.
Tradition prescribes this homa for clearing obstacles, breaking cycles of delay, reopening stalled work and matters, easing resistance from opposing parties, and steadying the courage of anyone worn down by repeated setbacks. Devotees also offer it before a move, a new venture or an interview that matters, asking Ruru Bhairava, the guardian of doorways, to stand at theirs and to guard progress once it resumes. It is a rite of clearing the road, offered as prayer; the tradition asks you to keep walking it.
This homa is for anyone whose progress has stalled: a venture that will not launch, an official matter that will not close, a career that has plateaued, a marriage proposal that keeps slipping. Families also book it before beginning something new, and astrologers commonly suggest it when transits or dasha periods indicate obstruction in the chart. You do not perform it yourself. Our priests perform it at our Yagna Ashram in your name, as one private ceremony for you and up to four family members, and you watch the live telecast from wherever you are.
Our priests perform it in the classical order at our Yagna Ashram, beginning with achamana, Ganapati puja and your sankalpa, declared with your name, gotra and nakshatra, and the obstruction you want cleared. Kalasha and navagraha invocations follow. Agni is kindled in the kunda and consecrated, and Ruru Bhairava is invoked and seated in the flame. The ahutis are then made with mantra, every priest making their own offerings of ghee, samidha, black sesame, mustard and prescribed herbs. Purnahuti, deeparadhana and prayer for you close the rite. We arrange all the samagri, and you watch it all on live telecast.
You can book the Ruru Bhairava 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 Ruru Bhairava 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 Ruru Bhairava — Ashtami tithi (above all the Ashtami of the waning fortnight), a Tuesday or Sunday, Kalabhairava Ashtami in Margashirsha, or Ardra, Bharani or Swati nakshatra — 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 Ruru Bhairava 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 Ruru Bhairava 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 Ruru Bhairava Yantra are couriered to you anywhere in the world, free of shipping cost.
Every Ruru Bhairava Homa package includes the energised Ruru Bhairava 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.
