Krittika is the star of fire. Its symbol is the blade, its lord is Agni, and its nature is to burn away what is unfinished and reveal what is true. When you are born under Krittika, that same fire runs through your chart — sharp, purposeful, sometimes restless. The Krittika Nakshatra Homa is the rite by which that fire is honoured rather than left to burn on its own.
In the Vedic reckoning, each birth star has a presiding devata who governs the flow of your year. Offerings are made into the consecrated fire with the nakshatra sukta and Agni mantras, so that the star you were born under is fed, settled and turned toward protection and prosperity. Devotees commonly request the krittika nakshatra homam on their janma nakshatra day, before a new undertaking, or during a difficult dasha, asking that the sharpness of Krittika become steadiness instead of strain.
ॐ अग्नये नमः । अग्निर्मूर्धा दिवः ककुत्पतिः पृथिव्या अयम् । अपां रेतांसि जिन्वति ॥ Salutations to Agni — the head of the heavens, the lord of the earth, who quickens the living waters and carries every offering to the gods.
Why Devotees Book This
What the tradition prescribes the Krittika Nakshatra Homa for, when your birth star is Krittika.
Birth-star alignment
Offerings are made to Agni, lord of Krittika, so your janma nakshatra is honoured through the turning year.
Protection
Krittika carries the blade. The rite is performed asking that its edge stand guard over you rather than cut inward.
Clarity of purpose
Traditionally sought when decisions feel clouded and the mind will not settle on a single path.
Steady prosperity
The homa is offered for growth that holds — in work, in household, in what you are building.
Relief during hard periods
Devotees request it when a taxing dasha, bhukti or nakshatra transit weighs on the chart.
Blessing before beginnings
Prescribed before a new venture, a move, a marriage or a child's first undertakings.

If Krittika is your birth star, the monthly Krittika day and your Vedic birthday are both held to be potent.
Kartika masa
The month named for Krittika, especially Kartika Purnima, is traditionally rich for Agni offerings.
Before a new beginning
Ahead of a venture, a journey, a housewarming or a wedding, performed in a morning muhurat with Agni ascendant in strength.

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 Agni 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
Agni — the goddess of knowledge itself
Agni 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 — Agni Kataksham — is invoked through fire with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.

Krittika is the third nakshatra in the Vedic zodiac, spanning the last quarter of Mesha and the first three quarters of Vrishabha. Its presiding deity is Agni, the fire god; its symbol is a blade or a flame, and its star cluster is the Pleiades — the six mothers who nursed Lord Kartikeya. People born under Krittika are described in the texts as bright, direct and purposeful, with a natural capacity to cut through what is false.
The Krittika Nakshatra Homa is a fire ritual in which Agni, the lord of Krittika, is invoked and offerings are made with the nakshatra sukta and Agni mantras. Its significance lies in tending your birth star. Each nakshatra governs a strand of your life; when that strand is honoured through fire, the tradition holds that the star's energy turns protective and its harsher edges soften.
The krittika nakshatra homam is performed for alignment with your birth star, for protection, for clarity when the mind is scattered, and for steady prosperity in work and household. It is also sought during difficult planetary periods and before new undertakings. These are the purposes the tradition prescribes the rite for; the fruit of any homa rests with the deity and your own devotion.
Anyone whose janma nakshatra is Krittika — or a parent booking on behalf of a child born under this star. It is also taken up by those in a taxing dasha or bhukti connected to Krittika's lord, and by devotees drawn to Agni upasana. You do not travel or attend. Qualified priests perform it on your behalf at our Yagna Ashram, in your name and gotra.
The Krittika day of each lunar month — when the moon transits Krittika — is the most fitting. Kartika masa, especially Kartika Purnima, is also held to be potent for Agni offerings. If Krittika is your birth star, your Vedic birthday is auspicious. Share your birth details at booking and our priests will fix the muhurat for you.
The priests begin with achamana, Ganapati puja and sankalpa in your name, gotra and nakshatra. The kunda is consecrated and Agni invoked through agni pratishtha. Offerings then follow with the Krittika nakshatra sukta and Agni mantras — ghee, samidha of the nakshatra's own tree, havan samagri, grains and herbs. The rite closes with purnahuti, aarti and blessings. You watch the whole sequence by live telecast; prasadam and an energised yantra are couriered to you, wherever in the world you are.
Book online from any country. Choose your package on this page and enter your name, gotra and birth star. Our team confirms the muhurat and sends you the live telecast link before the homa begins. After purnahuti, prasadam and the energised yantra are dispatched to your address at no shipping cost.
