Free Nine-Day Navagraha Yagya
Sunday, June 28 through Monday, July 6th
We are pleased to offer a Free Nine-Day Navagraha Yagya during this powerful and auspicious time. The nine planetary forces (Navagraha) are regarded in the Vedic tradition as channels through which karmic patterns unfold in our lives. Through Vedic fire ceremonies, prayers, and mantra recitation, we seek to harmonize these influences and strengthen the flow of grace, protection, wisdom, and opportunity.
This year's observance is especially significant because Jupiter has recently entered Cancer, the sign of his exaltation. In Cancer, Jupiter is able to express his most benefic qualities with greater ease, supporting spiritual growth, wisdom, compassion, prosperity, learning, and emotional well-being.
The yagya rituals are taking place just after the Summer Solstice, when the Sun reaches its greatest northern strength, symbolizing radiant spiritual light, expanded awareness, and the victory of illumination over darkness.
If you are currently participating in any of our various yagya programs, there is no cost to participate. All current yagya participants are automatically included.
If you would like to participate but are not currently a subscriber, please donate here.
This is a wonderful opportunity to align with the uplifting energies of Jupiter's exaltation, the power of the Solstice, and the harmonizing influence of the nine planetary intelligences.
Shiva Yagya at the
Sacred Chidambaram Temple
This Shiva Yagya is performed at the revered Chidambaram Temple, the ancient home of Nataraja, where Shiva is honored as the Lord of the Cosmic Dance.
Chidambaram is uniquely associated with ākāśa, the element of boundless space and pure consciousness, and is revered as a place where the formless presence of Shiva is directly felt.
Through mantra and offering, the ritual invites Shiva’s timeless presence to radiate clarity, peace, and quiet strength, extending its subtle influence beyond the individual to support balance and coherence in the wider world.
Performed on Pradosham July 26th - a special day for Shiva/Rudra rituals
Ganapati Atarva Upanishad Yagya
A Ganapati Atharva Upanishad Yagya invokes Ganesha through one of the most profound and mystical texts dedicated to him in the Vedic tradition. The Ganapati Atharva Upanishad describes Ganesha not only as the remover of obstacles, but as the underlying intelligence present within all creation. Through sacred fire and mantra, the yagya helps establish clarity, stability, and a deeper sense of alignment between thought, action, and spiritual purpose.
Because this Upanishad emphasizes both worldly success and inner realization, the yagya is valued for supporting new beginnings, learning, spiritual practice, and the removal of subtle obstacles. The fire becomes an offering of confusion, resistance, and limitation, helping awaken greater insight, confidence, and harmony in both inner and outer life.

100 Priest Chandi Path Yagya
This powerful Chandi Path Yagya is best performed on Shukla Ashtami, the eighth lunar day of the waxing Moon. Shukla Ashtami is associated with Durga and Chandi in their most dynamic and protective warrior form, when divine energy is actively engaged in restoring balance and order.
This ritual supports the removal of obstacles, dissolution of fear, neutralization of hostile forces, and release of deep karmic blockages. Offered collectively by one hundred priests, this yagya is intended not only for personal protection and strength, but also to generate a broad field of harmony, protection, and stability for the wider community and the world at large.

Shraddha Ritual for Ancestors
The Śrāddha ritual is traditionally best performed on Amāvasyā, the New Moon, a tithi closely associated with the Pitṛs (ancestors).
Shraddha performed on Amāvasyā supports ancestral healing, release of unresolved karmic ties, and the restoration of harmony within the family lineage. It is believed to bring peace and nourishment to the ancestors while offering protection, stability, and subtle support to present and future generations. This ritual also helps clear lingering ancestral influences, creating a quieter, more balanced foundation for spiritual and worldly progress.
Performed on the Ashadha amvasya; the New Moon for Ancestors, July 14th
Saraswati Yagya
A yagya performed for Saraswati brings a refining and uplifting influence of the flowing intelligence behind wisdom, language, and creativity — the force that brings clarity out of confusion.
Because she governs learning and communication, a yagya in her honor supports students, teachers, writers, and anyone seeking greater clarity. The fire becomes an offering of distraction and doubt, helping awaken deeper insight and quiet confidence.
Performed on the Ashadha Moon, July 29th; focused on spirituality and enlightenment
