Shatru Samhara Homam (Kanda Sashti Special Worship for Victory in Life)

Are evil eye impressions, jealousy, and hidden enemy schemes paralyzing your progress?... Are you suffering from loss of peace due to black magic afflictions, fear of negative energies, legal hurdles, debt burdens, and continuous obstacles in life?...

Waiting to burn these demonic forces and obstacles to absolute ashes, bestowing you with supreme fearlessness, monumental victory, and total protection, is the 'Shatru Samhara Maha Homam'!

In the ongoing Parabhava year, on the 28th day of Aippasi month (Sunday, November 15)—the holy day of Soorasamhara Sashti Tithi, marking the climax of Lord Murugan's Kanda Sashti festival—this Maha Homam will take place at the Vedic private yagasala.

Invoking Lord Murugan as 'Shatru Samhara Murthy'—the annihilator of enemies who bestows victory—and performing the homam amidst the resounding of powerful Vel mantras completely destroys evil forces, jealousy, legal obstacles, debt burdens, and horoscope barriers, bringing immense courage and victorious yogas into your life.

Glory of Shatru Samhara Homam

The Shatru Samhara Homam is a premier yagam executed by invoking the divine grace of Lord Murugan's Shatru Samhara Vel and His incarnation energy that vanquished the asuras.

• Homam Speciality: Performed amidst the powerful chanting of Shatru Samhara Trisati, Vel Maral Mantras, Kanda Sashti Kavasam, and Subramanya Bhujangam.

• Fiery Consecration (Agni Diksha): As black pepper, red oleander flowers, special medicinal herbs, ghee, sacrificial wood (Samithu), and fruits are offered into the holy fire, all opposition and evil forces surrounding devotees are burned to absolute ashes (bhasmam).

Puranic & Spiritual Philosophy

When Surapadman terrorized the universe with his tyrannical rule and imprisoned the Devas, Lord Murugan—who emerged from the third eye of Supreme Lord Shiva—camped on the battlefield with His forces to uproot the asura's pride and armies. Using the sharp 'Shaktivel' granted by Mother Parashakti, on the 6th day of Kanda Sashti (Sashti Tithi), Kumara Kadavul vanquished Surapadman in the middle of the ocean, splitting him into a mango tree and a peacock, accepting them as His flag and mount.

Surapadman is no one else; he represents the inner ego, jealousy, fear, and evil thoughts within us. Participating in this Shatru Samhara Homam performed on the holy day of Soorasamhara is just like Lord Murugan slaying Surapadman to protect the Devas—it uproots overt enemies, covert schemes, and mental fear from our lives. Spiritual faith holds that Lord Murugan's fire of divine grace reduces bad karmas and negative vibrations to ashes, granting an unyielding heart, victory in every endeavor, and lifelong protection.
