Murugavel Homam (Kanda Sashti Special Worship)

This serves as a grand relief worship for those stagnating due to incurable physical ailments, hidden enemy schemes, evil eye/black magic afflictions, Saturn (Sani) doshas, negative energetic influences, and astrological obstacles.

In the ongoing Parabhava year, on the 28th day of Aippasi month (Saturday, November 14)—the auspicious Panchami Tithi marking the 5th day of Lord Murugan's Kanda Sashti festival—the 'Murugavel Homam' will take place at the Vedic private yagasala in Palani.

Perform a Sankalpam in your Name and Nakshatra on this holy day to receive the supreme grace of Lord Murugan, who uses the divine Shaktivel bestowed by Mother Parashakti to shatter the karmas and diseases of His devotees to their very roots.

Siddha Abode — Unique Significance of Palani Shrine

Palani is the holy shrine carved out of Navapashanam by Siddha Master Bogar, continuously radiating extraordinary medicinal properties and divine energy. The divine vibrations of this shrine and the homam fire roaring in the yaga kunda possess the supreme power to burn away diseases and negative vibrations born of human karmas, infusing fresh strength into body and mind.

Power of the Yagam & Sacrificial Speciality

This 'Murugavel Homam' is executed by invoking the incarnation energy of Lord Murugan's radiant Vel and the unequaled potency of His Shaktivel.

• Vedic Chanting: Murugavel Moola Mantras, disease-shattering Vel Maral Mantras, Kanda Sashti Kavasam, and Vel Vaguppu stotrams will be chanted with Agni as witness.

• Agni Oblations: As red oleander flowers, nine grains (Navadhanyas), medicinal herbs, ghee, and divine fruits are offered into the homam fire, all diseases and evil doshas surrounding us are burned to absolute ashes.

Puranic & Spiritual Significance

When the Devas suffered under the tyrannical rule of asuras like Tarakasura, Singamukhan, and Soorapadman, Lord Murugan—who emerged from the third eye of Supreme Lord Shiva—was blessed by Mother Parashakti. To uproot the illusions and tyranny of the asuras, She handed Velan the 'Shaktivel'—the embodiment of Her entire energy, victory, and wisdom—on Panchami Tithi, the 5th day of Kanda Sashti.

Participating in this Murugavel Homam performed on this holy day of receiving the Vel from Parashakti at the Siddha-revered shrine of Palani is not mere weapon worship; it is a sublime adoration that uses the sharpness of the Shaktivel to pierce through ignorance, mental fear, and chronic ailments in our lives. Spiritual faith holds that Velan's divine fire of grace uproots body-afflicting diseases, surrounding evil forces, and enemy schemes, bestowing courage, robust health, and success in all endeavors.
