☀️🌑 On August 12, 2026, Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) is occurring on Sawan Krishna Amavasya in the Ashlesha Nakshatra.
Ashlesha is the constellation governed by the Serpent Gods and is the direct energy field of Rahu. The holy month of Sawan + Amavasya Tithi + Surya Grahan + Ashlesha Nakshatra - this is a highly rare celestial alignment. On this day, Rahu's power is at its absolute peak, and the Sun's energy is fragmented. Therefore, performing both Rahu Shanti and Surya Shanti simultaneously is profoundly rewarding.
When Rahu eclipses the Sun, offering Ahutis (sacred oblations) in the holy fire with the Rahu Beej Mantra pacifies Rahu's wrath; while offering Ahutis with the Surya Gayatri and Aditya Hrudayam Mantras re-ignites the divine radiance of the Sun.
🔥 Why a Havan?
The scriptures declare - "Agnirvai Devanam Mukham" (Fire is the mouth of the Gods). The Ahutis offered in the Havan fire reach the respective deity directly with no intermediary and no delay. It is the supreme method for karmic and spiritual purification.
🛕 Two Sacred Shrines - Two Divine Powers:
Navgrah Shaktipeeth, Dabra (Madhya Pradesh): The world's first and Asia's largest Navgrah Shaktipeeth, where all nine planets (including Rahu) are enshrined with their consorts according to Vedic rituals. The Rahu Shanti Havan will take place here — on the very first Solar Eclipse since its consecration.
🛕 Havan Ahuti at 2 Temples from Home via the Sri Mandir App:

Mahaseva is a very virtuous and fruitful donation, which has been mentioned repeatedly in the Vedas and Puranas. When a person performs the highest acts like food, clothing and grains with devotion and selflessness, it is called Mahaseva. This donation not only destroys the sins of the donor, but also satisfies the ancestors, gods and sages and liberates him from the bondage of karma of many births!
