Shat Chandi Yagya
Meaning of the Yagya
The word “Shat” means one hundred (100), while “Chandi” refers to the fierce yet benevolent form of Maa Durga. In this sacred ritual, a total of 100 recitations of the Durga Saptashati are performed. Following the recitations, one-tenth of the total number of recitations, equivalent to 10 recitations, is performed as Havan. Offerings are made using sacred Havan materials, Navagraha Samidha (sacred wood associated with the nine planets), and pure desi ghee.
Main Benefits of the Yagya
Relief from Planetary Obstacles: The Shat Chandi Yagya is traditionally performed to pacify the adverse effects of Rahu, Ketu, Saturn (Shani), and other intense planetary Doshas present in the birth chart.
Protection from Enemies and Negative Energies: The ritual is traditionally believed to provide protection against Tantrik obstacles, Nazar Dosh (evil eye), negative energies, and unseen adversaries.
Health and Prosperity: The Yagya is traditionally believed to support relief from serious health challenges, growth in business, and greater happiness, peace, and harmony within the family.
Fulfillment of Desires: Shat Chandi Yagya is performed with the intention of fulfilling sincere wishes and is traditionally believed to help pave the way toward the four aims of life—Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.
