Sapt Shambhavi Yagya: The powerful feminine deities.

Origin & Essence

• Sapt means seven.

• Shambhavi is an epithet of Devi—the compassionate, protective power associated with Shiva.

• Yagya is a sacred Vedic fire ceremony where offerings are placed into a consecrated fire with mantra and devotion.

Sapt Shambhavi Yagya is a classical, priest-led observance for inviting peace, patience, and mutual goodwill between two people. It is devotional in spirit and practical in approach: disciplined prayer, clear sankalp (intention), and proper vidhi (method).

How It’s Performed (7–8 days, priest-led)

The Sapt Shambhavi Yagya is conducted by Pt. Dayaram Joshi following Vedic vidhi (procedure) over 7–8 days. Each day has a distinct focus, yet the essence remains the same—prayer, offerings, and sincere sankalp (intention).

• Altar Preparation: A sacred fire is kindled with ghee and selected herbs. The space is prepared with mantras to invite purity and calm.

• Sankalp (Intention): The names of those for whom the Yagya is offered are recited, along with the purpose of seeking harmony.

• Daily Rituals: Each session involves mantra chanting, devotional prayers, and offerings into the fire.

• Participant Involvement:

  • You join online at set times.

  • You sit quietly, listen, and when guided, repeat simple mantras.

  • If you wish, you may keep a small lamp or bowl of water near you as a symbol of devotion.

• Final Day Homa: The closing day is a longer fire ritual, where prayers are offered for balance, clarity, and peace in relationships.

Guidance & Care:

• The process is priest-led—participants do not need to perform rituals themselves.

• Online presence ensures that people across India and abroad can join with dignity.

• If possible, a simple charitable act (daan) such as sharing food or clothing is encouraged to conclude the process on a note of gratitude.

Personal guidance & privacy

• Throughout the week, Pt. Dayaram checks in briefly, listens to your context, and tunes the daily intention.

• All details remain confidential and handled with dignity.

How It Heals Relationship Issues

Seven days. One sankalp (shared intention). A steady rhythm of prayer.When two people hold the same wish with quiet discipline, the heart learns a gentler way to speak.

• Steadies the mind: Daily chants and a fixed time to sit bring down the rush inside. With breath slowing, reactions cool, and there is room to listen.

• Softens speech: The practice turns sharp words into measured ones. You begin to choose pauses over interruptions, care over point-scoring.

• Clears the clutter: Naming the intention each day helps separate the real issue from noise—old grudges, second-hand opinions, and imagined stories.

• Builds shared responsibility: Standing together in sankalp reminds both partners to carry their part with honesty, not blame.

• Reopens dialogue: As the week unfolds, small windows appear—moments when you can ask, “What do you need?” and truly hear the answer.

• Restores dignity: The ritual asks for humility and respect. In that space, boundaries feel natural, affection feels safe.

• Invites patience: Repetition works quietly. One day to the next, the urge to “win” fades, and the wish to understand grows.

By the final homa, many couples describe a lightness in the chest, conversations that don’t spiral, and the courage to make wiser choices together.

Who Can Perform It

The Sapt Shambhavi Yagya is meant for those whose hearts are unsettled in matters of love, commitment, and togetherness. It is not bound by age, caste, or social background—what matters is sincerity in seeking harmony.

• Couples in conflict: Partners facing repeated arguments, mistrust, or emotional distance.

• Those at crossroads: Individuals uncertain about continuing, ending, or redefining a relationship.

• Separated partners: Those wishing to ease bitterness and open the door for calm dialogue.

• Those seeking closure: People carrying heaviness from a past relationship, wanting peace before moving forward.

• Couples preparing for marriage: Engaged or soon-to-be-wed partners who want to begin their journey with clarity and shared strength.

Anyone with a genuine intention for healing and respect can request this Yagya. It is for those ready to set aside blame and step into a space of prayerful reflection, guided by tradition.

Requirements & Preparations

To keep your energy receptive and the ritual effective, you’ll need to:

• Eat Satvik: Follow a vegetarian diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables and grains; avoid meat, eggs, onions, garlic and fermented foods.

• Dress in Light Colours: Avoid wearing all-black clothing during the ritual days to maintain a high frequency.

• Protect Life: Refrain from harming animals, even insects. Kindness amplifies the ritual’s merit.

• Abstain from Addictions: No alcohol, smoking or substance use; these cloud the subtle body.

• Cultivate Positivity: Avoid negative media and gossip, instead, focus on gratitude and constructive thoughts.

Pricing

The cost varies because no two situations are identical.

Materials (ghee, grains, herbs), yantras and time differ with each case.

A brief consultation with Pandit Dayaram will help determine your needs and the corresponding donation.

He charges only for what’s necessary—his goal is your healing, not his profit.
