Mrigashira is the star of the searching deer — the head that lifts, scents the wind, and moves on. Those born under it carry that restlessness as a gift: curiosity, quick perception, an ear for what is unsaid. The Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homa is offered so that this seeking is guarded and given direction, rather than scattered. Ghee, samidha and the Vedic nakshatra mantras are given to the fire in your name, with your birth star, gotra and sankalpa spoken aloud at the altar.
In the tradition, a birth-star homa is performed when the ruling star's period turns active in your dasha, before a new venture or marriage, or simply once a year to keep the connection clean. The Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homam invokes Soma, the nectar-lord of the Moon, whose grace is prescribed for calm mind, wholesome nourishment and steady household fortune. Our priests perform it at the Yagna Ashram on your behalf and telecast the fire live to you, wherever you are.
सोमो धेनुं सोमो अर्वन्तमाशुं सोमो वीरं कर्मण्यं ददाति। सादन्यं विदथ्यं सभेयं पितृश्रवणं यो ददाशदस्मै॥ Soma grants the milk-giving cow, the swift steed and the capable, courageous child; to the one who offers to him, Soma gives worthiness at home, in council and in assembly, and good repute among the forefathers.
Why Devotees Book This
What the tradition prescribes the Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homa for, when your birth star is Mrigashira:
Alignment with your birth star
The homa is offered in your name and nakshatra, renewing the link between you and the star that presided over your first breath.
Protection through the star's period
Traditionally performed when Mrigashira or its lord grows active in your dasha or transit, as a shield around travel, work and family.
Steadiness for a seeking mind
Soma is invoked for coolness and clarity, so that curiosity settles into focus instead of restlessness.
Prosperity of the household
The Vedic verse to Soma asks for cattle, swift horses and a well-kept home — the classical vocabulary of nourishment and abundance.
Support before beginnings
Devotees book it ahead of a marriage, a move, an examination or a new venture, so the start is made under a friendly star.
An annual observance
Many families keep the homa each year on their Mrigashira star day, the way one keeps a lamp lit at the same hour.

Sacred Timing
The Mrigasirisha Nakshatra Homam is best offered when the star itself is awake in the sky. Tell us your details and we will fix the muhurat for you.
Mrigashira nakshatra day
The monthly return of your janma nakshatra is the classical day for a birth-star homa — the star's own hours are held most receptive.
Mondays and Soma hora
Soma presides over Mrigashira and over Monday. A Monday falling on or near the star day is especially sought.
Margashirsha month and its full moon
The lunar month named for this very star, when the full moon rises in or near Mrigashira, is a traditional time for the offering.
Before a new undertaking
Ahead of a wedding, a journey, a house-warming or the onset of the ruling planet's dasha, the homa is performed on the nearest suitable muhurat.
Every package, and the 48-day option
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 Soma 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
Soma — the goddess of knowledge itself
Soma 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 — Soma Kataksham — is invoked through fire with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.

It is a Vedic fire ritual offered to Soma, the presiding deity of Mrigashira, the deer-head star. Your name, gotra and birth star are placed in the sankalpa, and the nakshatra mantras are offered with ghee and samidha. Tradition holds that the star under which you were born governs the texture of your days; the homa is the way that bond is honoured, cleaned and strengthened.
The tradition prescribes it for alignment with your birth star, protection through the periods it rules, calm and clarity for a seeking mind, and the household prosperity that the Soma verse invokes — nourishment, good repute, a steady home. Devotees also offer it before marriages, journeys and new work. It is a prayer made in fire, not a promise of results.
Anyone born under Mrigashira nakshatra, in any of its four padas. Parents commonly book it for a child born in this star, and families offer it for a member entering the dasha or bhukti of the star's lord. It is also taken up before weddings and new ventures. You do not need to attend — qualified priests perform it on your behalf at our Yagna Ashram and stream it to you.
On the monthly return of Mrigashira nakshatra, on Mondays sacred to Soma, during the month of Margashirsha, or before a significant beginning. Our priests check the tithi, nakshatra and yoga against your birth details and confirm a muhurat with you before the day is fixed.
The priests begin with achamana, Ganapati puja and punyahavachana, then the sankalpa in your name, gotra and Mrigashira nakshatra. The kunda is prepared and Agni invoked. Offerings follow to the navagrahas and then, in the main sequence, to Soma with the Mrigashira nakshatra mantras. Samagri includes cow ghee, the prescribed samidha, rice, sesame, navadhanya, herbs, flowers and payasam. The rite closes with purnahuti, aarti, prayer for the yajamana and the distribution of prasadam.
Book online from any country. Share your name, gotra and birth details; we confirm the muhurat, perform the homa at our Yagna Ashram in your name, and telecast it live so you can sit with the fire wherever you are. Prasadam and an energised yantra are couriered to your address worldwide, free of charge.
