Ayushya Homa Puja is a sacred ritual performed to invoke blessings for longevity, good health, and well-being. The term “Ayushya” refers to life or lifespan, and Homa is a fire ritual where offerings are made into a sacred fire to seek divine blessings. The puja is typically performed to remove obstacles to long life, prevent early death, and enhance physical and mental health.

The Ayushya Homa Puja is dedicated to Lord Shiva or Lord Vishnu, along with deities associated with health, like Ayur Devata. The ritual involves the chanting of powerful mantras, including those that invoke divine blessings for vitality, health, and longevity. Offerings of ghee, sesame seeds, fruits, herbs, and flowers are made into the fire while the priests recite sacred hymns and mantras to ensure that the fire purifies the individual’s life and body.

The puja is often recommended for individuals who are facing health challenges, have a weak horoscope, or are seeking protection from untimely death or illnesses. It is believed that this ritual helps remove negative energies, planetary doshas, and health-related afflictions that hinder a person’s longevity and well-being.

In places like Gokarna, where spiritual energy is abundant, the Ayushya Homa Puja is performed with devotion and reverence. The puja is considered highly effective in promoting health, longevity, and prosperity, as it invokes the divine blessings of powerful deities to ensure a long and fulfilling life.
