Shata Chandi Homam | Udupi | Kumbakonam | Gokarna
Shata Chandi Homam is regarded as one of the most powerful and auspicious Vedic rituals performed in honor of Goddess Chandi – the fierce and compassionate form of Goddess Durga. This sacred Homam involves the chanting of all 700 verses of the Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati) and the offering of oblations into the sacred fire while invoking Goddess Chandi and the Navagrahas.
AstroPuja organizes Shata Chandi Homam at the holiest temple towns – Udupi, Kumbakonam, and Gokarna – where the ritual energy naturally multiplies due to the divine vibrations of these Kshetras. With highly experienced Vedic scholars and purohits, every Homam is conducted strictly as per scriptural injunctions, ensuring purity, precision, and sanctity.
Astrologically, Shata Chandi Homam is a powerful remedial ritual recommended when a native is afflicted by Rahu-Ketu dosha, Pitru dosha, Kala Sarpa dosha, Graha Shanti issues, or prolonged malefic planetary periods (dasha and antardasha). The chanting of Durga Saptashati during the Homam invokes the divine energy of Goddess Chandi, who neutralizes the negative vibrations caused by afflicted planets. When performed at powerful Kshetras like Udupi, Kumbakonam, and Gokarna, the Homam magnifies its astrological effect, bringing relief from obstacles in marriage, career, health and family life.
The astrological benefits of Shata Chandi Homam are vast—it helps in reducing the impact of malefic planets, especially Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu, while strengthening the positive influence of benefic planets like Jupiter and Venus. Devotees experience smoother progress in life as karmic blockages and planetary hindrances get pacified. It is especially beneficial for those undergoing Shani Sade Sati, Rahu Mahadasha, or Ketu Mahadasha, as the ritual grants courage, prosperity, and spiritual protection. Thus, Shata Chandi Homam acts as a divine astrological remedy, aligning planetary energies with the blessings of Goddess Chandi for a more harmonious and prosperous life.
Significance of Shata Chandi Homam
The Devi Mahatmyam describes Goddess Chandi as the supreme Mother who destroys evil forces, grants prosperity, and protects devotees from all directions. By performing Shata Chandi Homam, devotees invoke her divine blessings for:
Removal of obstacles caused by planetary afflictions, curses, or doshas
Victory over enemies and protection against evil influences
Relief from prolonged illnesses and chronic health problems
Harmonious family life, progeny blessings, and marital happiness
Spiritual growth, courage, and inner strength
Success in education, career, and business ventures
This sacred Homam is recommended especially during major life transitions, difficult astrological periods, or when one seeks divine grace for abundance and peace.
Why Perform Shata Chandi Homam at Udupi, Kumbakonam, and Gokarna?
Udupi
Udupi, the land of Sri Krishna and Madhvacharya, is one of the most sacred Vaishnava Kshetras in India. The divine vibrations of the Krishna Matha and the surrounding temples make Udupi a spiritually charged center for performing Devi Homams. Shata Chandi Homam at Udupi brings a blend of Krishna’s grace with Goddess Chandi’s fierce protection, ensuring holistic blessings of devotion, wealth, and protection.
Kumbakonam
Known as the temple town of Tamil Nadu, Kumbakonam is considered a Kshetra where all rivers, deities, and cosmic energies converge. Performing Shata Chandi Homam in this city of countless temples is believed to multiply the effects manifold. The region’s connection to Mahamaham Tank and the Navagraha temples enhances the remedial power of this Homam, making it especially effective for overcoming planetary doshas and Pitru-related karmas.
Gokarna
Gokarna, famous for the Maha Mrityunjaya temple of Lord Mahabaleshwar, is one of the holiest Shaiva Kshetras. With the powerful presence of the Atmalinga and its association with liberation rituals, Gokarna is the ideal place for Shata Chandi Homam. Performing it here ensures protection against untimely dangers, karmic obstacles, and grants blessings for moksha, prosperity, and longevity.
