3 day Jupiter, Shiva, Subramanyam Yagya
Triuchendur, India

Friday, November 3 through Sunday, November 5

Every 12 months, Jupiter changes signs and in the Vedic tradition this is the time when a yagya can best boost the beneficial effects of a planet. 

This month's yagya series will take place at a very special Jupiter temple on the seashore in South India a short drive from the southern most tip of the country.  Additionally, the series will include a special Shiva yagya using 108 different lingams, and a yagya to honor Subramanyam, representative of Mars, the owner of Scorpio where Jupiter will spend the next 12 months. 

This yagya series is intended to maximize the protective and spiritual aspects of Jupiter, the health protective and enlightenment giving aspects of Shiva, and the energy and strength of Mars/Subramanyam.

The temple itself has quite an amazing history, including a near miraculous survival from the recent tsunami.  To read more...click here.

The Tiruchendur temple is well known as the main Jupiter temple in Tamil Nadu.  Each day of the three day yagya series here we will perform a Jupiter yagya as a part of the daily events.  On the this day Jupiter will be the focus of the entire yagya program. 

This yagya maximizes the benefits of Jupiter; spirituality, good fortune, and kindness.  Participants in the full three day series are automatically enrolled in this yagya.

Subramanyam Temple Yagya ($31)
Sunday, November 5th

The main deity in the Tiruchendur Temple is Subramanyam, son of Shiva and brother to Ganesha.  In the Vedic tradition he is considered to be the deity form of Mars, and is referred to as the "Divine Warrior".  The effects of this yagya are to balance the manifestations of Mars in our lives resulting in more energy, balance, optimism, and strength.  It is a particularly important yagya because Jupiter will be moving into the sign Vrishchika (Scorpio) which is owned by Mars, and this yagya will enhance the effects of Jupiter as well.

2 Day Ganesha and Lakshmi Foundation Yagya ($51)
Friday, November10th (Lakshmi) and Saturday, November 11th (Ganesha)

This is the basic yagya for our monthly subscription series; one full day of yagyas for Ganesha and one for Lakshmi.  These two yagyas (particularly when repeated monthly) result in the development of a strong and continued experience of spiritual protection and abundance.  These yagyas are highly recommended for enhancing and deepening the effects of the other yagyas in the monthly series.

They are called foundation yagyas because it is difficult to imagine what problems could not be solved if a few obstacles were removed (Ganesha) or we had either more physical resources, or a greater sense of satisfaction and abundance (Lakshmi).

2 Day Ganesha/Lakshmi Yagya - ($51)

This yagya offers assistance with a wide variety of problems; overall peace of mind, spiritual progress, and health or transitions.  The yagya combines Ayush Yagya for long life with the Mrytunjaya Yagya for removal of fear.  Mrytunjaya yagyas are also good for providing spiritual support for health problems.  This yagya is for Shiva, who wears the Moon in his hair and so, as the ultimate ruler of the planets, it is also good for balancing the effects of all planets particularly Moon/Saturn.

This yagya is repeated twice monthly; once in India and once in the US.  Participants are automatically enrolled in both yagyas.

Subramanyam Yagya ($37)
Sunday, November 5th (Tiruchendur), and Tuesday, November 7th (Kanchipuram)

This month is a special one for Subramanyam because of the yagya series at the great Subramanyam temple in Tiruchendur.  So there will first be a yagya at the temple which is followed by another yagya in Kanchipuram a few days later.  Participants in this yagya area automatically enrolled in both yagya days.

Subramanyam is Ganesha's brother and the younger son of Shiva.  He is regarded as the "Divine General" and embodies the energy of Mars which when properly channeled gives rise to positive action, enthusiastic energy, optimism, and success. 

This yagya is particularly useful when times are difficult and you need a physical and mental energy boost to meet life's challenges.  It is also good for those who have kuja dosa (Mars affliction) in their astrological charts as it will help to balance and harmonize interpersonal relationships.

Sudarshana and Narasimha Yagya ($37)

Sudarshana is Vishnu's weapon (a disc of light) and this yagya is used to remove severe or stubborn obstacles.  It is particularly effective for those who are faced with conflicts, lawsuits, and specific or severe forms of opposition or troubles.

Narasimha is the incarnation of Vishnu who also helps to remove obstacles, and specifically protects and enhances family harmony. The Sudarshana and Narasimha yagyas are always performed together with a Lakshmi yagya.  So it is a very effective "all purpose" yagya.

Ganesha Yagya ($37)
Friday, November 3rd and Saturday, November 11th

Ganesha is Vigneshwara; the lord of obstacles.  He removes the obstacles which hinder our progress towards spiritual and material success.  A Ganesha yagya is light and enjoyable and result in an increasing sense of support and protection.  The obstacles that Ganesha removes are not only material.  the Vedic tradition considers Ganesha to be equally adept at removing the obstacles to our spiritual progress.  Generally, long-term participants report that while problems in life don't completely disappear, effective and appropriate solutions arise more readily and are implemented with little resistance.

This yagya is often combined with the Lakshmi yagya (see above) because the combination of Ganesha and Lakshmi helps develop a balance between material and spiritual success.

Navagraha Yagya ($37)
Sunday, November 12th

The nine planets deliver our karmas to us, and we can greatly smooth our life experience through a planetary yagya.  As a remedial method, planetary yagyas have the advantage of providing balance; the effects of the beneficial planets are strengthened and the malific planets are moderated.

Everyone goes through difficult times and these yagyas facilitate the resolution of difficult karmas and remove obstacles to our general success in life.  They are supportive and life affirming yagyas that remove the sometimes overwhelming weight of difficult circumstances.   Since difficult times develop slowly, it must be expected that they will dissipate gradually, so best results are obtained by 3+ months of participation.

This yagya covers all nine planets in one five hour day of yagyas.  If you would like more focus on a particular planet(s), then we recommend the Personal or Private Yagyas which will give you several hours of focused pujas, mantra japa, and a fire yagya at modest cost.

We offer no-charge astrological consultations for those who wish to have a chart reading and yagya recommendation.  You can request a jyotish (astrological) consultation by clicking here.

Navagraha Yagya -- ($37)

When you check out, please include a note to specify the planets you wish to be the focus of your yagya.

Satyanarayana and Lakshmi Yagya ($37)
- Family Harmony and Material Success -
Monday evening, November 6th (Full Moon)

The yagya enhances peace and harmony between husband, wife, children and other family members of all generations.  It develops and protects smoothness in our external circumstances and enhances enjoyment and our ability to live in balance and harmony.  It is a gentle yagya that combines the protection of Vishnu with the fullness and abundance of Lakshmi.

As with all Vedic technologies, repetition is key to the development of strength and effectiveness.  The repetition of this yagya on a monthly basis develops depth of experience resulting in greater power and longer lasting results from the yagya.

Personal Yagya (3 hours/1 priest) ($75)

A personal yagya is similar to a private yagya, the difference being that it is a little shorter and is performed by one priest rather than five.  It is intended to be easier to afford, particularly since it is most effective when repeated over a 3+ month period of time.  These yagyas can be very powerful, but the effects build gradually.

On your yagya day, your personal priest begins with a series of pujas (Ganesha, Kalasha, and Navagraha) followed by a fire yagya (homam). The entire yagya sequence develops balance, strength, and removes obstacles in your life. 

For yagya recommendations please feel free to email for a no-charge jyotish analysis.  Click here to request.

1 Day Personal Yagya - 2 -3 hours - to meet your individual requirements. ($75)

 

Private Yagya (5 hours/5 priests) ($300)

A private yagya consists of a full day's dedicated effort on your behalf.  Five of our most experienced priests will perform 5 hours of pujas and mantra japa followed by a full 1 to 2 hour fire yagya (homam).

The focus of a private yagya can be particularly instrumental in lightening a difficult trend in life, solving a specific problem, removing a troublesome obstacle, or of dramatically deepening one's spiritual practices and experience of divinity.  A free jyotish consultation is available to assist you in the selection of the most appropriate and beneficial yagyas. Click here to request.

On the day of your yagya, the priests begin by performing a series of pujas followed by 1008 japa repetitions of the mantra most appropriate for providing assistance from a spiritual perspective.  This is followed by the the full 1 to 2 hour fire yagya (homam) featuring an additional 1008 mantra repetitions with the traditional offerings of ghee, herbs, special woods, grains, fruits and nuts into the yagya fire.

Those who comit to the purchase of a private yagya for at least six months are included in the full yagya schedule during each month.  In addition to the 1 day private yagya, you are included as full sponsors for the 10 day yagya series at no additional charge.  The private yagya can change on a month to month basis.  The only requirement is the minimum six month term.
