Yagya Schedule

3 Day Navagraha Temple Yagya ($45)
for balance, success, and enlightenment

Friday, January 25 (Kumbakonam for big fire yagya)
Saturday, January 26 (Surya Narayana for all planets)

Sunday, January 27 (Tiruvallur for Saturn)

We begin 2007 with a series of Navagraha (nine planet) yagyas to provide a long lasting and positive influence of balance and smoothness to our lives during the coming year. These yagyas will be held over a three day period in the Kumbakonam region, an area in southern Tamil Nadu known for its ancient temples, and especially for several unique Navagraha temples.

The first day will feature a large fire yagya in Kumbakonam. The second day will continue at the very famous Navagraha temple at Surya Narayana Kovil. This temple complex is unique because it contains individual temples for each of the 9 planets and is the only temple in the region to do so. The third day will take place in Tiruvallur, at the famous Saturn temple where we have returned for several years of Saturn yagyas.

Navagraha yagyas are especially useful because they smooth out the effects of difficult planets like Rahu, Saturn,and Mars whcih are particularly strong right now. The yagyas also maximize the positive influence of the benefic planets like Jupiter and Venus.

Combine the 3 day Kumbakonam Navagraha Yagyas with the 14 day Navagraha Yagyas for 17 complete days of yagyas. ($75)
Join the "Maha Sponsor" Program.This option makes you an honored participant in every yagya that we perform during the month of January. Your participation includes all the special yagyas as well as the daily deity and planetary yagyas.

14 Day Navagraha Yagya - $51
for continued yagya influence of balance

Friday, January 18 - Thursday, January 31 - Kanchipuram

The key to the effectiveness of vedic yagyas is repetition. More repetitions mean more power.

With that in mind, we offer this two week Navagraha Yagya series. Each day in Kanchipuram one of our highly qualified priests will perform a Navagraha yagya including the fire ceremony (homam).

This yagya series makes a great supplement to the 3 day Navagraha temple yagyas listed above or any of the other yagyas that we offer during the month.

Ganesha, Lakshmi and Navagraha Foundation Yagyas ($51)
for balance, success, and abundance

Friday, January 18 (Lakshmi)
Saturday, January 19 (Ganesha)

Sunday, January 20 (Navagraha)

These four days of yagyas form the basic yagya monthly subscription series; one set of yagyas for Ganesha, Lakshmi, and the Navagraha (9 planets).  Particularly when repeated monthly, these yagyas result in the development of a strong and continued experience of spiritual protection and abundance.  When performed on a regular basis, these yagyas are very effective at enhancing and deepening the effects of the other yagyas offered each month.

These are 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)., or just more balance in life (Navagraha).

Most people participate in this yagya on a subscription basis so that monthly participation is automatic. Discontinue your subscription any time.

Subramanyam Yagya ($37)

Subramanyam 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.

Although not as widely known as some deities outside India, Subramanyam is the brother of Ganesha and the younger son of Shiva.  In the Vedic Tradition he is regarded to be the "Divine General" because of his courage and leadership abilities.

Saturday, January 26

A Ganesha yagya is light and enjoyable and results in a sense of support and protection.  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. Ganesha is Vigneshwara; the lord of obstacles who removes anything that hinders our progress towards increasing spiritual and material success. 

This yagya is often combined with Lakshmi and Navagraha foundation yagyas (see above) because the combination of Ganesha and Lakshmi yagyas develop a balance between material and spiritual success which is supplemented by the balancing influence of the Navagraha yagya.

Navagraha Yagya ($37)
for balance and success

Sunday, January
27

Navagraha yagyas facilitate the resolution of difficult karmas and remove obstacles to our general success in life.  They are supportive and life affirming and can lighten the sometimes overwhelming weight of difficult circumstances.   Since difficult times develop slowly, it must be expected that they will dissipate gradually. Best results are obtained through repeated participation in this yagya (and ideally the foundation yagyas) over time.

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 provide several hours of focused pujas, mantra japa, and a fire yagya at modest cost.

This yagya is also included in the Foundation Yagyas described at top of this page.

For those wishing to participate in yagyas, a no-charge astrological consultations is available,

Small Personal Yagya (2-3 hours/1 priest) ($75)

A small personal yagya is similar to a private yagya, the difference being that it is performed by one priest rather than five.  This form of yagya is intended to assist individuals who wish to address a specific area of concern either through several consecutive days of yagya or a single day repeated over a number of months. These yagyas can be very powerful because of the focused and dedicated nature of the performance.

On your yagya day, your personal priest begins with a series of pujas (Ganesha, Kalasha, and Navagraha) followed by puja and mantra japa for your choice of planet or deity.  This is followed by a fire yagya (homam) that repeats the sequence of pujas.
