Vaishnavi Homa

The Ritual and Its Weight

The Vaishnavi Homa is a fire offering to Vaishnavi, one of the Sapta Matrikas and the living power of Vishnu himself. Vishnu is the sustainer — the one who keeps things moving. When movement stops, when files sit unsigned, when a marriage talk or a visa or a build stalls for no reason you can name, tradition turns to his shakti. She carries the chakra that cuts, the shankha that announces, and the gada that clears the way.

Also called the vaishnavi shanti homa, this rite belongs to the Obstruction Removal family. It is not asked for the thing you want. It is asked for the removal of what stands between you and the thing you want. Ghee, havan samagri and specific dravyas are given to Agni while the priests chant her mantra, and the obstruction is offered up with them. What returns to you is the prasadam and an energised Vaishnavi Yantra, sealed in a silver amulet to wear.

ॐ वैष्णव्यै नमः। वैष्णवी गरुडारूढा शङ्खचक्रगदाधरा॥ Salutations to Vaishnavi, who rides upon Garuda and bears the conch, the discus and the mace — may she go before us and clear the way.

Why Devotees Book This

Devotees come to the Vaishnavi Homa when effort is being made but nothing is moving. These are the intentions the tradition places in this fire.

Work that has stopped moving

Offered when a project, a file, a case or a construction sits stalled with no visible cause.

Repeated last-minute delays

For those situations that come close to completion and then slip, again and again.

Doors that will not open

Sought when approvals, admissions, postings or permissions keep being deferred.

Clearing the path before a new start

Traditionally performed before a venture, a move abroad or a fresh chapter, so the road is cleared first.

Steadiness of mind while you wait

The chanting is offered for the patience and clarity to keep acting rightly through a long block.

Protection of what is already built

Vaishnavi is the sustaining power; the rite is offered to guard the ground you have already gained.

Sacred timing

The most auspicious days for a Vaishnavi Homa

Vaishnavi is invoked on the days sacred to Vishnu.

Ekadashi and Dwadashi

The eleventh and twelfth lunar days are Vishnu's own tithis and are the most sought-after for this homa.

Shravana Nakshatra

The star presided over by Vishnu, held especially fitting for invoking his shakti.

Thursdays

Guruvara, ruled by Brihaspati, is a traditional day for rites that ask for a clearing of the way.

Brahma Muhurta

The pre-dawn hour when the fire is kindled for most obstruction-removal homas at our Yagna Ashram.

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 Vaishnavi Yantra

The Vaishnavi 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.

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.

Free energised Vaishnavi Yantra, sealed in a silver amulet

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 Vaishnavi 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 Vaishnavi 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

Vaishnavi Avahana

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

Who is invoked

Vaishnavi

Among the Sapta Matrikas, she is the shakti who carries Vishnu's own emblems and his own work of sustaining. Iconography seats her on Garuda, crowned with the kirita, holding shankha, chakra and gada, sometimes with a lotus and the abhaya gesture. Her colour is dark like a rain cloud, her ornaments are those of Vaikuntha. The Devi Mahatmya describes the Matrikas issuing from the gods to stand with Durga in battle, each bearing the form and weapon of the deity whose power she is; hers is the Vaishnava power in feminine shape. Devotees turn to this form when what is needed is not creation or destruction but continuance — the keeping-going of things already begun, the way cleared for what is stalled.

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

Questions

Frequently asked

The Vaishnavi Homa, or Vaishnavi Homam, sometimes called the Vaishnavi Shanti Homa, is a Vedic fire ritual addressed to Vaishnavi, one of the Sapta Matrikas and the shakti of Vishnu, who rides Garuda and bears the conch, discus and mace. Its significance lies in her role as the clearer of the way: where Vishnu sustains, she removes what interrupts. It is not asked for the thing you want but for the removal of what stands between you and it, and it is offered with mantra when progress has stalled.
Tradition prescribes the Vaishnavi Homa for clearing obstacles, repeated delays and hurdles blocking progress — stalled work, deferred approvals, admissions and postings, ventures that keep slipping at the last step. It is also offered before beginning something new, so the path is cleared first, for steadiness of mind through a long wait, and to guard the ground you have already gained, since Vaishnavi is the sustaining power. What is offered is the prayer and the discipline of the fire.
Anyone facing persistent obstruction may have the Vaishnavi Homa performed — students, professionals, business owners, families waiting on a decision. It is also offered by those born under Shravana nakshatra and by devotees of Vishnu. You do not perform it yourself; our qualified priests perform it on your behalf at our Yagna Ashram, with your name, gotra and sankalpa spoken into the fire, and you watch it on live telecast.
Our priests perform the Vaishnavi Homa at our Yagna Ashram as a single ceremony of purification, sankalpa, invocation, offering and purnahuti. They begin with achamana, Ganapati puja and punyahavachana, then the sankalpa in your name and gotra. The kunda is prepared and Agni invoked, and Vaishnavi is installed and worshipped with shodashopachara. The ahutis of cow ghee, havan samagri, tila, akshata and the dravyas named for this rite are then offered with mantra, every priest making their own offerings. It closes with purnahuti, aarti and prasadam, and you watch it all on live telecast.
You can book the Vaishnavi 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 Vaishnavi 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 Vaishnavi — Ekadashi or Dwadashi, Vishnu's own tithis, or Shravana nakshatra — or a Thursday, which tradition keeps for rites that ask for a clearing of the way, 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 Vaishnavi 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 Vaishnavi 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 Vaishnavi Yantra are couriered to you anywhere in the world, free of shipping cost.
Every Vaishnavi Homa package includes the energised Vaishnavi 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. 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.
