नवरात्रि हवन विधि 2026 🔥 | दुर्गा पूजा में हवन कैसे करें? सामग्री, मंत्र और संपूर्ण विधि

Summary

The video presents a shortened, practical version of a Navratri havan for someone performing it at home or conducting it for a host. The presenter says the method draws on the Durga Saptashati and the Navarna mantra, and covers preparation, worship of the fire, offerings, and closing rites. Some Sanskrit terms and mantras are unclear in the auto-generated subtitles.

Materials and preparation

• Havan kund: A ready-made kund, copper vessel, earthen vessel, or a pit made from mud and bricks.
• Ritual vessels and tools: Water vessels identified as Pranita and Prokshani, a pot of water (with Ganga water if available), ladles called Surva, and a vessel for lighting and transferring the fire. The presenter says a spoon or mango leaf can substitute for a ladle.
• Worship items: Kusha grass, sandalwood, rice grains (akshat), flowers, Durva, a lamp, and camphor.
• Havan ingredients: Sesame seeds, rice, barley, ghee, jaggery, dry fruits or Panchameva, and optionally lotus seeds and other fragrant ingredients. The video also shows curd, urad dal, and papad for later offerings.
• Main offering and closing: A coconut wrapped in red or yellow cloth, with ghee applied.
• Counting offerings: A rosary can be used by a helper to keep count. Alternatively, the presenter suggests setting aside 108 grains or betel nuts and moving one for each offering.

Mixing the havan material

The presenter gives a proportional recipe, though the wording in the subtitles is imperfect:

• Sesame seeds form the largest share.
• Rice is taken as half the quantity of sesame seeds.
• Barley is taken as half the quantity of rice.
• Sugar or jaggery is described as a smaller share; the captions are unclear about its exact ratio.
• Add ghee—described as roughly one-quarter in the stated measurement, or enough to mix the ingredients—and combine thoroughly.
• Add dry fruits or Panchameva if available. Lotus seeds and other optional ingredients may also be added.

The presenter specifically says rice may be included in the mixture.

Havan procedure

1. Set up and purify

   • Place the vessels, materials, and kund in position, adding water to the Pranita and Prokshani vessels.
   • Perform the initial purification rites: rinse the mouth, wash the hands, and wear or hold Kusha as prescribed.
   • Invoke sacred rivers into the water and make the water-vessel offerings.
   • Purify oneself and the seat, offer respect to the Earth, and perform the described rite to clear obstacles.

2. Make the sankalpa (ritual intention)

   • State the date or occasion, such as Ashtami or Navami, the day of the week, the performer’s gotra and name, and the purpose of the havan.
   • The presenter gives different wording for men and women and for different social titles; these details are part of the video’s instructions.

3. Worship the kund

   • Invoke the deities associated with the kund, including Vishnu, Brahma, Rudra, Ambika, and Vastu Purusha, and offer water, flowers, sandalwood, and rice.
   • The presenter says a five-part earth-preparation rite is unnecessary for a ready-made kund, but describes a version for a mud- or earth-built pit.

4. Establish and worship the fire

   • Place a little havan material and camphor in the kund, light the fire in a separate vessel, recite one of the fire-invocation mantras given, and transfer the flame to the kund.
   • Arrange the wood around the fire without laying it out too densely.
   • Invoke and worship Agni with offerings of ghee, flowers, sandalwood, rice, and a small food offering. The presenter says the household Navratri lamp need not be duplicated, though an additional lamp may be used.

5. Make the preliminary offerings

   • Offer ghee to Prajapati, Indra, Agni, Soma, and the other deities named in the instructions, using the specified directions or positions around the fire.
   • Offer a stick for the Navagrahas with the stated Navagraha mantra.
   • Make offerings to the invited deities, which the presenter lists as including Ganapati, Ambika, the Navagrahas, directional guardians, Vastu, Kshetrapala, and Durga-related forms.
   • The exact mantra wording is difficult to recover from the subtitles.

6. Perform the main havan

   • The primary option is the Navarna mantra: Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye Vichche Swaha.
   • The presenter recommends 108 offerings as a basic count. A helper may count with a rosary, or the performer may use grains or betel nuts to track each offering.
   • The mantra before Swaha is to be recited mentally, while Swaha is said aloud as the offering is made.
   • Alternatively, if the Durga Saptashati has been recited, the performer may conduct the havan chapter by chapter, beginning with the relevant viniyoga and meditation and offering with the chapter’s verses.
   • The presenter also mentions other Durga mantras as alternatives.
   • The video describes a dashansh offering: make havan offerings equal to one-tenth of the number of mantra repetitions or recitations.

7. Mark the end of a chapter or round

   • At the end of a chapter or completed round, offer a special item—such as a ghee-smeared betel nut, banana, or kheer—with the stated concluding prayer.
   • Repeat the same pattern for further chapters or rounds.

8. Complete the offerings and make bali

   • Repeat the preliminary ghee offerings and pour water as directed.
   • Offer a sweet or other food offering, then place the remaining havan mixture into the fire with the Agni Svishtakrit offering.
   • For the described bali rites, mix curd and urad dal and divide it for the ten directional guardians and nine planets. The presenter says these offerings can be arranged separately and describes lighting camphor with them; the rite may be omitted if the relevant arrangement is not being made.

9. Perform tarpan and marjan

   • Use water mixed with sesame seeds and offer tarpan with the chosen mantra.
   • The presenter describes tarpan as one-tenth of the havan offerings and marjan as one-tenth of the tarpan count. For example, the subtitles give 100 offerings followed by 10 tarpans and one marjan.
   • In the marjan rite, water is applied to the performer. Afterward, the water is to be poured at the roots of flowers or plants.

10. Offer food to Agni and perform purnahuti - Offer kheer, puri, banana, sweets, or another available food to the fire, followed by the stated ghee and water offerings. - Wrap a coconut in red or yellow cloth, apply ghee, and place it on the ladle. Stand and offer it into the fire with the purnahuti mantra. - The presenter then describes a further ghee offering called Vasudhara.

11. Close the havan - Remove a small amount of ash, dedicate it as instructed, and apply it to the forehead and other places. - Pray to Agni to accept the offerings and bless the family. - Drink water from the Prokshani vessel as described, wash the hands, turn the Pranita vessel upside down, and place the Kusha into the fire. - Make the final closing declaration and repeat “Shri Vishnave Namah” three times.

12. Complete the Navratri worship - Return to the main deity’s shrine and perform the concluding (uttara) puja, including food offering, arati, mantra-pushpanjali, and any other closing offerings. - The presenter says to give dakshina to the officiating priest, if one is present.
