Rama Havan

01 · The ritual

About the Rama Havan

Invokes Lord Rama, the ideal of righteousness, for dharma, family values and the victory of good over difficulty.

In a havan, the priest offers ghee, grains and sacred herbs into the consecrated fire with every mantra. In tradition, Agni — the fire — carries each offering and prayer to the divine. It is one of the oldest and most joyful ways to pray, and it has been performed in India since Vedic times.

02 · The deity

Why it is offered to Lord Rama

Lord Rama is dharma in human form — the ideal son, husband, brother and king. He is prayed to for righteousness, strong family values and victory over hardship.

03 · Blessings

The blessings devotees seek

Families have turned to the Rama Havan for generations. These are the blessings traditionally sought from it:

1. Righteous success.
2. Strong family values.
3. Victory over difficulties.
4. Inner discipline.

A ritual is an act of faith, hope and gratitude. We describe blessings the way tradition describes them; Aum Fe never promises a particular outcome.

04 · For you?

Who it is for

Anyone can join — you do not need to know any mantras or rituals. Join for yourself, or pray for someone you love: a child before exams, parents far away, a friend starting something new.

05 · Timing

The best time for it

Ram Navami, Navami tithi, Punarvasu nakshatra.

06 · Together

The power of many — sab ki aahuti, sab ka ashirwad

A Aum Fe havan is an open, shared havan. One sacred fire, one set of mantras, and devotees joining from homes across India and around the world. In Hindu tradition, praying together has always been held especially dear: the very last hymn of the Rig Veda calls on people to “sam gacchadhvam, sam vadadhvam” — come together, speak together, let your minds be in harmony.

The Bhagavata Purana teaches that in this age, the chanting of the divine name is the simplest and most powerful path — and it lists shravanam, listening with devotion, as the very first of the nine forms of bhakti. So when you sit quietly and hear the mantras of this havan, you are not a spectator. You are taking part, alongside everyone else who has joined.

Every person who joins adds their prayer to the same fire. That is the heart of Aum Fe: many hopes, one havan, blessings for all.

07 · At the altar

Performed at a Himalayan temple

Your havan is performed at a peaceful Himalayan temple by its own pujari, a priest with years of experience, at a properly prepared altar — with the correct mantras, the correct sequence and full devotion. Our crew travels there to film it for you. Never rushed, never cut short.

When you join, you also support these mountain pujaris, their families and their villages through the hard Himalayan winters — so the sacred traditions they have spent years learning are kept alive.

08 · Value

Why it costs so little

Arranging a havan at home on your own is a big undertaking: the pandit’s dakshina, buying the havan samagri and sacred wood, finding and preparing a proper place, and taking the day off to organise it all. Because a Aum Fe havan is shared by many devotees, those costs are shared too.

09 · From anywhere

Taking part from home

Distance is no barrier to devotion. Wherever you are — in India or abroad — you can be part of the havan.

1. Join the havan on the date you like.
2. At the scheduled time, light a lamp at home if you wish and pray quietly with your family.
3. When it finishes, we email you the video of the havan.
4. Sit facing the screen, listen to the mantras with a calm, open heart, and chant along if you know them.
5. Fold your hands for the aarti at the end and receive the blessing.

10 · Prasad

Prasad by courier

After the havan, blessed prasad and sacred items — such as a sacred thread, kumkum or vibhuti, where the ritual uses them — are packed with care and sent by courier. We deliver across India, and internationally too, so families living abroad can receive the blessing at home.

11 · Good to know

Before you join

Many families avoid new rituals during a period of mourning (sutak) in the family, and during solar or lunar eclipse hours. Some traditions also avoid new-beginning rituals during Pitru Paksha and Kharmas. If you are unsure, ask us — we will help you choose a good date.
