10 Day Navagraha Yagya Series & Full Chandi Path Recitation
June 20–29, 2025 ($75)
Chandi Path with 100 Priests on June 24
Daily Navagraha Yagyas Continue Through July 30
From June 20 through June 29, we will be performing a special series of Navagraha (Nine Planet) Yagyas to balance and harmonize the planetary influences that shape our lives. Each day’s rituals will be dedicated to invoking peace, clarity, and support in all areas affected by the grahas—health, relationships, finances, spiritual growth, and overall well-being.
The highlight of the series is a full recitation of the Chandi Path on June 24, performed by 100 priests in Pune. This sacred and ancient hymn invokes Devi Durga/Chandi in Her most protective and transformative form, helping to remove deep-seated karmic obstacles and establish lasting inner strength and divine grace.
To continue the benefits of this work, Navagraha Yagyas will continue daily through July 30.
Why Now? Mars and Ketu in Leo
Astrologically, Mars and Ketu will be conjunct in the fiery sign of Leo during June and July. This is a highly energized and potentially unstable combination that can manifest as accidents, sudden challenges, emotional turbulence, and heightened reactivity. On a national and international scale, the harmonizing effects of the yagyas will contribute a peaceful light during a time that is likely to be turbulent.
This series of yagyas is especially recommended to provide protection, grounding, and emotional clarity during this intense transit.

Benefits of Performing the
Sahasra Chandi Ritual
The Sahasra Chandi is one of the most powerful and rarest Vedic rituals, involving the recitation of the Durga Saptashati (Chandi Path) 1,000 times. This month we begin the process of working toward the Sahasra (one thousand in sanskrit) Chandi. With 100 priests chanting the entire text, we will complete our goal in just ten months!
The Chandi Path, also known as the Durga Saptashati or Devi Mahatmyam, is an ancient Sanskrit scripture consisting of 700 verses in praise of the Divine Mother Durga. Drawn from the Markandeya Purana, it describes the Goddess’s battles against powerful demons that symbolize deep inner and outer negativity. Reciting the Chandi Path is believed to invoke the fierce, protective, and compassionate energy of the Goddess, bringing about the removal of obstacles, destruction of negativity, and the granting of strength, clarity, and spiritual liberation.
Spiritual Benefits:
Removes deep-seated karmic obstacles that hinder spiritual and material progress
Invokes the direct presence of the Goddess in Her aspect as Durga, the remover of suffering and destroyer of inner and outer negativity
Purifies the mind and heart, leading to clarity, inner strength, and renewed spiritual energy
Strengthens devotion, faith, and surrender, which are essential for lasting transformation
Acts as a spiritual shield, warding off harmful influences and negative energies
Material Benefits:
Overcomes chronic difficulties in areas such as health, relationships, finances, or legal matters
Resolves long-standing problems where other efforts have failed

Sahasra Chandi is traditionally performed during times of great transition or collective challenge, when the call for divine intervention is most urgent. Whether for personal healing or global peace, the ritual magnifies the protective force of the Divine Mother a thousandfold.
Benefits of Performing Navagraha Yagyas
Balancing the Nine Planetary Forces of Vedic Astrology
In the Vedic tradition, the Navagraha—the nine planetary deities—are considered powerful cosmic forces that influence every aspect of life. These include the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu (North Node), and Ketu (South Node). Each planet governs specific areas such as health, relationships, career, intellect, emotions, karma, and spiritual development.
When these planetary energies are imbalanced—due to birth chart placements or current transits—they can give rise to obstacles, delays, or inner and outer disharmony. Navagraha Yagyas are traditional Vedic fire ceremonies performed to balance these influences, reduce the impact of challenging planetary positions, and enhance the positive effects of beneficial ones.
Spiritual and Material Benefits
Reduces the intensity of negative planetary influences and afflictions
Promotes harmony in key life areas such as relationships, finances, health, and spiritual growth
Supports success in education, career advancement, and personal goals
Encourages emotional stability, mental clarity, and resilience
Provides protection during challenging transits, dashas, or life transitions
Enhances overall flow and alignment by attuning one's karmic field with the cosmic order
Navagraha Yagyas are especially helpful during periods of astrological difficulty, before major life decisions, or when facing persistent challenges. Through these sacred offerings, we seek alignment with the celestial forces that guide our journey—creating the conditions for peace, progress, and deeper spiritual connection.
