In traditional vedic stories, Dhanvantri is the form of the divine who emerges from the churning of the ocean of milk, holding the nectar of immortality. He represents the healing and protective qualities of Vishnu as a physician; the divine protector of health. This yagya is performed to assure radiantly good health, to improve poor health, and to bring strength and vitailty to life.

Astrologically this is an advantageous time for this yagya. Retrograde Saturn is making us feel old and creaky through late June, and Jupiter will be changing signs this month, limiting his healing and protective qualities.

Of course Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and abundance, always accompanies Vishnu, and she emerged from the ocean of milk just before Dhanvantri, so we include her in these yagya as well. As the old saying goes, "health is wealth".

Of course the nine planets also play a role in health because they are the mechanism through which karmas are delivered to us, and through which they can be alleviated. Navagraha yagyas provide a deep rooted foundation for the improvement of health. For 10 days, these yagyas will accumulate strength and empower the planets to manifest their most beneficial energies.

The program will be performed daily by 11 priests from 8 AM through 1 PM in Kanchipuram. The final day of the program will take place in a Navagraha Temple.

Jupiter Peyarchi Yagya (May 24)

On May 18th, Jupiter (Guru in Sanskrit) will be moving from Aries to Taurus (Mesha to Vrishibha).

The time when a planet is changing signs is traditionally considered to be when planetary yagyas are most effective. These special yagyas enhance and attract the positive qualities of Jupiter, specifically good luck, abundance, deeper spiritual experiences, attracting good teachers, and empowering the mantras we practice.

The yagya series will consist of several hours of vedic recitation and an abishekam yagya offered to the nine planets and most specifically Jupiter.

This yagya is automatically included in the 10 Day program described above, but you may participate in just this one day if you prefer.
