The Gaja Lakshmi Homa is a fire offering to the fourth of the eight Lakshmis — the form of Sri seated on a lotus while two elephants bathe her with water from raised trunks. In the Vedic imagination the elephant is wealth that walks: royal treasuries, cattle, grain, land, the slow heavy abundance that does not vanish overnight. Gaja Lakshmi is invoked when what you need is not a windfall but a foundation.
Household finances rarely break in one blow. They erode — an income that arrives late, a loan that outlives its purpose, expenses that quietly outgrow earnings. The gaja lakshmi homam addresses exactly that erosion. Ghee, lotus, cooked rice and specified herbs are offered into the consecrated fire while her mantras are recited, and the sankalpa is taken in your name and nakshatra. The tradition prescribes this rite for restoring dignity and steadiness to a household's wealth, and for clearing the obstructions that keep money from settling.
जय जय दुर्गतिनाशिनि कामिनि सर्वफलप्रद शास्त्रमये।
रथगज तुरगपदाति समावृत परिजन मण्डित लोकनुते॥
हरिहर ब्रह्म सुपूजित सेवित ताप निवारिणि पादयुते।
जय जय हे मधुसूदन कामिनि गजलक्ष्मी सदा पालय माम्॥
Jaya jaya durgati-nāśini kāmini sarva-phala-prada śāstra-maye,
ratha-gaja turaga-padāti samāvṛta parijana maṇḍita loka-nute.
Hari-hara brahma supūjita sevita tāpa-nivāriṇi pāda-yute,
jaya jaya he madhusūdana kāmini gajalakṣmī sadā pālaya mām.
ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं क्लीं गजलक्ष्म्यै नमः॥
Oṁ śrīṁ hrīṁ klīṁ gajalakṣmyai namaḥ Victory to you who destroys poverty and misfortune, giver of every fruit, attended by chariots, elephants, horses and footmen, worshipped by Hari, Hara and Brahma, remover of suffering — beloved of Madhusudana, Gaja Lakshmi, protect me always.
Why Devotees Book This
Devotees turn to the Gaja Lakshmi Homa when money comes but does not stay. These are the intentions the tradition attaches to this rite.
Steady, recurring income
Offered when earnings are irregular — for the settled monthly flow the elephants' unhurried abundance represents, rather than a single stroke of luck.
Relief from debt
Traditionally performed by households carrying loans, to seek the clarity and means to close obligations one by one and stop fresh borrowing.
Stability in the family purse
Prescribed for homes where expenses keep outrunning income, to invite order, restraint and a savings habit that holds.
Wealth that stays with the house
Gaja Lakshmi is invoked as the Sri who resides rather than visits — for grain, property and assets that remain in the family's hands.
Obstructions in earning removed
Sought when delayed payments, stalled deals or blocked dues keep interrupting the flow of legitimate income.
Dignity and standing restored
The royal form of Lakshmi is approached to renew a household's reputation, credit and confidence after a difficult financial season.

Sacred Timing
Our panchanga is consulted for each booking, and the sankalpa is fixed to a window suited to your nakshatra. These occasions are traditionally held to be strong for the gaja lakshmi homam.
Friday, the day of Sri
Friday belongs to Shukra and to Lakshmi. Morning Friday muhurats, especially in the Shukla paksha, are the most requested slots for this homa.
Varalakshmi Vratam and Diwali Lakshmi Puja
The Friday before the Shravana full moon, and the Amavasya of Kartika, are classic occasions to invoke Gaja Lakshmi for the coming year's prosperity.
Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras
Days named for wealth that does not diminish. Devotees book the homa on these dates before beginning a venture, purchase or new financial year.
Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Shravana and Purva Phalguni
Nakshatras associated with abundance, harvest and stability. Full moon days and Sri Sukta recitation days are also chosen.

What you receive
The sealing of the yantra
When your homa concludes, the yantra that stood in the fire is rolled and locked inside its silver amulet according to Agama vidhi — the practice by which the energies raised in a ritual are held within a consecrated object rather than dispersing. It is why a homa performed at our ashram can still reach a devotee ten thousand miles away: what the fire raised travels to you, sealed.
Personal sankalpa
Your name, gotra & nakshatra — for you and up to five family members.
Live telecast
Watch your own homa in real time from the ashram. Streamed openly on our YouTube channel by default — or request a private, unlisted telecast at checkout.
Free energised Gaja Lakshmi Yantra, sealed in a silver amulet
Consecrated over three days — Jala (holy-water consecration with mantras), Prana (life force through pranayama & chants) and Jeeva Pratishta (awakened with 108 recitations & offerings) — then present through your homa, receiving the energies raised in the fire. Immediately afterwards it is rolled and sealed inside a silver amulet by Agamic rite, locking those energies within, and shipped to you with your prasadam.
Prasadam, shipped free
Sacred vibhuti, sandalwood powder & kumkum from your fire — delivered to any country.
48-Day Anushthan (optional)
Daily temple worship for 48 days — the 27 Nakshatras + 12 Rashis + 9 Planets — then sealed in a silver amulet of approximately 2–4 inches.
A note on sacred tradition
As per strict Agama vidhi, no videography is permitted inside the temple sanctum — this preserves the pure sacred energies and undisturbed divine focus of the ritual. The main homa is respectfully telecast live from outside the sanctum; the daily rituals of the 48-day Anushthan are performed with full devotion but are not telecast.
Homas are telecast openly on our YouTube channel so that devotees everywhere may witness the rituals — and because we believe you should be able to see our work before you trust us with yours. Your sankalpa names you and your family, so if you would rather your ceremony were not public, choose the private telecast option at checkout and it is streamed as an unlisted link visible only to you.
We state this plainly — transparency about what tradition forbids filming, and about what is public, is part of performing these rituals honestly.

Who is invoked
Gaja Lakshmi — the goddess of knowledge itself
Gaja Lakshmi is one of the Tridevi and the mother of the Vedas — the presiding deity of knowledge, learning, memory, speech, music and every art. She is depicted in white upon a white lotus, holding the veena, a book, a rosary and a water pot, with the swan of discernment beside her.
In this homa, her grace — Gaja Lakshmi Kataksham — is invoked through fire with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.

The Gaja Lakshmi Homa is a Vedic fire ritual dedicated to Gaja Lakshmi, the form of Mahalakshmi seated on a lotus and bathed by two elephants. Among the eight Lakshmis she governs the wealth that endures — grain, cattle, land, royal treasuries, the abundance of a well-run household. Offerings of ghee, lotus, payasam and prescribed herbs are made into the consecrated fire alongside her mantras and the Sri Sukta. The rite is traditionally performed when a family seeks not sudden gain but a stable, dignified financial foundation.
The tradition prescribes the gaja lakshmi homam for prosperity and steady income, for relief from the burden of debt, for stability in household finances, and for the removal of obstructions that delay legitimate earnings. It is also performed to invite wealth that remains with the family — property, savings and assets — and to restore a household's standing and confidence. The rite is an act of prayer and surrender; it is offered in faith, not as a promise of any particular result.
Anyone seeking financial steadiness may have it performed on their behalf. It is commonly booked by families carrying loans, by those whose income arrives irregularly, by business owners and traders before a new financial year or venture, and by newly married couples establishing a home. Astrologers often recommend it where the second or eleventh house, or Shukra and Guru, are afflicted in the chart. You need no prior initiation — the sankalpa is taken in your name, gotra and nakshatra.
Fridays in the Shukla paksha are the most auspicious, particularly the morning hours. Varalakshmi Vratam, Diwali Lakshmi Puja, Akshaya Tritiya, Dhanteras and Purnima days are strongly favoured, as are the nakshatras Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Purva Phalguni and Shravana. Our priests check the panchanga against your birth details and fix the muhurat for you, then confirm the date and streaming time before the homa.
The priests begin with achamana, Ganapati puja and punyahavachanam, then take the sankalpa in your name and nakshatra. Kalasha sthapana and a shodashopachara puja to Gaja Lakshmi follow. Agni is invoked in the kunda, and ghee, lotus petals, bilva and durva, cooked rice and payasam, sesame, navadhanya, honey, camphor and prescribed herbal samidha are offered with her mula mantra, the Sri Sukta and Lakshmi Ashtottara. The rite closes with purnahuti, deeparadhana and prasadam. All samagri is arranged by us at our Yagna Ashram — you need bring nothing.
Book online from any country on this page. Share your name, gotra and birth star; our priests fix an auspicious muhurat and confirm the date. On the day, the homa is performed at AstroBhava's Yagna Ashram on your behalf and telecast live to you wherever you are — you do not need to travel or attend. Prasadam and an energised yantra from the ritual are couriered to your address worldwide at no extra cost.
