Rudra Abishekam Yagyas

Rudra Abishekam is the most fundamental of the yagyas that we offer. It is performed daily as a component of every Daily Yagya program and it can also be performed as a private yagya. The yagya is based on the text of Sri Rudram and Chammakam from the Yajur Veda and it honors Shiva specifically. In a symbolic sense this yagya addresses every human need and asks for Shiva's protection and blessing.

The famous Mrytunjaya Mantra comes from this text. Mrytunjaya literally means "victory (Jaya) over death (Mrytu)", but it is much more than that. This mantra is excellent for health, dealing with a difficult Saturn, removes fear and anxiety, and assures a smooth passing from this world.

From the vedic perspective two things are important when considering the use of spiritual means to affect change in our lives; repetition and consistency. The Vedic literature is full of stories where yogis and the gods perform spiritual practices for long periods of time in order to get what they desire.

This ritual uses a special mantras to dissolve accumulated karmas. These mantras are performed by priests who have spent many years mastering them and who have also received training in the performance of the traditional rituals themselves. The yagya can be perfomed as a 5 priest/5 hour yagya, or a 1 priest/3 hour yagya.

Private yagyas are performed at our facilities in Varanasi (North India)m Kanchipuram (South India), or Pune (West India) by our teams of exceptionally qualified priests and pundits. We take photos of your yagya event and forward them to you afterward.

During the puja or yagya, your name and nakshatra (vedic star) is read aloud in the sankalpam (statement of purpose) along with your intention for the yagya performance. You are welcome to add family members so that all may benefit from the yagya performance.
