Maha Navagraha Parihara Homam

Are Ezharai Sani (Seven-and-a-half-year Saturn), Rahu-Ketu, and Sevvai (Mars) doshas tormenting your life? Is your progress halted by Dasha-Bhukti obstacles, unending debt burdens, family disputes, business stagnation, and chronic illnesses?

Coming forward to uproot all these astrological afflictions and karmic burdens, bringing a ray of new light and prosperity into your life, is the 'Maha Navagraha Parihara Homam' held at Madurai Satya Yuga Srishti Temple - Mukti Nilayam!

In the ongoing Parabhava year, on the 11th day of Karthigai month (Friday, November 27, 2026)—the auspicious Sankatahara Chaturthi day dedicated to the obstacle-removing primary deity—perform a Sankalpam in this rare worship to receive the abundant grace of the Navagraha deities and achieve victory in all your endeavors.

Glory of Maha Navagraha Parihara Homam

The Maha Navagraha Parihara Homam is a premier remedial yagam conducted by invoking the nine planetary deities (Navagrahas) to mitigate their malefic effects and amplify their beneficial blessings.

• Homam Speciality: Executed by making individual fire offerings for all nine planets amidst the powerful chanting of Navagraha Moola Mantras, Navagraha Gayatri, Sri Rudram, and Navagraha Stotram.

• Power of Agni & Grains: As the nine sacred grains (Navadhanyas)—sesame, wheat, paddy, toor dal, green gram, chickpea, field bean, black gram, and horse gram—along with 9 types of sacrificial wood (Samithu) are offered as sacred oblations, the planetary afflictions in devotees' horoscopes are burned to absolute ashes (bhasmam) in the homam fire.

Puranic & Spiritual Philosophy

In the universe, the movements of the Navagrahas serve as the root cause for human karmic actions from past births and the ups and downs of life. Chandra Bhagavan (Moon God), who lost his radiance after disrespecting Lord Ganesha, performed homams and worshipped Ganapati on Sankatahara Chaturthi to gain liberation from his curse. Puranic philosophy holds that all Navagrahas operate strictly under the supreme control of Lord Vighneshwara.

Lord Ganapati, the primary deity, holds the supreme power to alter the malefic impacts caused by the Navagrahas. Invoking Lord Ganesha and the Navagraha lords on Sankatahara Chaturthi to execute the 'Maha Navagraha Parihara Homam' in a sacred shrine like Madurai is a sublime form of worship that pacifies planetary wrath.

Spiritual belief holds that performing this Maha Navagraha Parihara Homam on the sacred day of Sankatahara Chaturthi uproots severe Ezharai Sani, Rahu-Ketu doshas, Sevvai dosha, and Dasha-Bhukti afflictions from your horoscope. Furthermore, it clears family and business obstacles, bestowing success in all efforts and Ashta Aishwarya (eightfold wealth).
