Remedies & Sacred Practices
The reading shows what is written. The remedies are practices to work with it. Here you will find a summary and explanation of the remedies and poojas most often recommended in the palm leaf readings.
The Purpose of the Recommended Remedies
In the Nadi tradition, the remedies are practices meant to ease certain karmic tendencies and support you on your path.
A palm leaf reading gives you insight into your life; the remedies are suggestions for working with what the Rishis describe. You decide which to follow.
You might have some or none of the recommendations below, depending on your karmic constitution. Each recommendation was written specifically for you — there is no comparison, simply your path.
Chapter 14 —
Karma Clearing
Chapter 14 is the dedicated karma-clearing chapter of the palm leaf reading — and it is included as part of your General Chapter. You don't need to book it separately.
This chapter goes directly to the root of what is present in your life: the specific karmic patterns, ancestral threads and past-life influences that the Rishis describe for you — along with the remedies they suggest.
Performed for You in India
Sacred rituals conducted by trained priests in ancient temples — performed in your name, on your behalf, while you go about your life anywhere in the world.
What is the Mantra Yantra Puja?
These are very specific rituals with special mantras, which can be performed in your name and for you, by trained priests in temples in India. This Mantra Yantra Puja is usually performed twice a day for a certain period of time.
During the pooja, a copper yantra rests at the altar and is blessed with the mantras. After the ceremony it is sent to you; many people keep it at home as a reminder of the practice.
Homa — The Sacred Fire Ceremony
Homa is one of the oldest and most potent Vedic ceremonies. Fire is considered the divine messenger — what is offered into the flame transcends the physical realm and reaches the cosmic forces it is directed toward.
A Homa is performed for you by priests at a temple in Tamil Nadu, with a video of the ceremony. You can also attend live on Zoom as an optional extra, charged separately. In the Vedic tradition, the fire is offered for major transitions, protection and the easing of obstacles.
Atma Shanti Puja — Peace for Departed Souls
The Atma Shanti Puja is a special ceremony performed for the soul of someone who has passed away — in the Vedic tradition it is offered so that the soul of a loved one may find peace, and so that those left behind can say goodbye.
In the Indian tradition, the peace of our ancestors profoundly affects the peace available to us. In the Vedic tradition, honouring one's ancestors is a way to bring peace to the family line. This ceremony is offered in that spirit, as spiritual support.
Performing Poojas Yourself
One of the most common recommendations is to perform prayers and poojas (devotional ceremonies) to different deities. The deities from the Indian traditions are personifications of different universal energies — for example, Goddess Lakshmi represents the energy of abundance, love and beauty.
The outer form of these poojas is flexible, and you can basically create your own ceremony as long as you include the mantras that are used to invoke these specific energies. The most simple form of such a pooja is to chant the recommended mantra of the deity 108 times, and say some prayers for their blessing to transform your life for the better. Many people find the practice meaningful.

Find Your Palm Leaf!
Malas — Prayer Beads
A Mala is a string of 108 prayer beads used to count mantra repetitions during practice. Holding and moving through the beads with each chant helps keep the mind focused, deepens the meditative state, and marks the completion of a full cycle.
In the palm leaf tradition, mantra practice is often recommended for sustained periods — 40 days, 90 days, or longer. A Mala makes this kind of consistent daily practice easier to maintain, and over time becomes charged with the energy of the practice itself.
We offer two options — a traditional Rudraksha Mala and a handcrafted personal Mala made specifically for you by our artisan Spanda.
Social & Spiritual Service
Practices that go beyond personal ritual — cultivating the attitude of service and gratitude that deepens our connection to the blessings of the Rishis.
Social & Spiritual Service
Sometimes there is a recommendation to perform social & spiritual service, which simply means to dedicate our time and energy to helping others.
These can be practical — like taking care of children or the elderly, emotional — like giving support to those in need, or spiritual — like teaching yoga and meditation. These are just examples. The most important thing is to cultivate an attitude of service and goodwill.
What is Guru Dhanam?
Guru Dhanam (Sanskrit: Guru Dakshina) is the traditional gift of thanks to a teacher or to someone who has helped you on your spiritual path.
Some readings suggest it. You choose whom to thank and how — a gift, a donation to a good cause or an act of service.

What Clients Experience
"After the Yantra Puja, something genuinely shifted. The pattern I had been stuck in for years — with work, with money — just quietly dissolved. I can't explain it rationally but I don't feel the need to. The results are there."
"I watched the Homa live on Zoom. The priest kept feeding the fire and chanting — you could see how seriously they take it. The flame jumped up at one point and I had goosebumps. I didn't expect it to feel so personal."
About the Remedies
Do I have to do all the remedies recommended in my reading?
No. The remedies are recommendations, not obligations. You choose which ones to take on, and at what pace. Each remedy works on its own, and even a single practice maintained consistently can bring a meaningful shift. Begin with whatever feels right for you — your path is yours alone.
How long does it take to see results from remedies?
Experiences differ. Some people feel a shift soon after starting a mantra practice, others only after weeks or months. Be patient, be consistent, and pay attention to your life rather than looking for proof.
Do I need to be Hindu or Indian to do these practices?
Not at all. People of all backgrounds and beliefs practise them, and many find them meaningful.
What is the difference between the Yantra Puja and the Homa?
The Yantra Puja is a mantra ritual performed twice a day over a set period; afterwards you receive the blessed copper yantra. The Homa is a single fire ceremony, traditionally offered for protection, major transitions and the easing of obstacles. Some people are recommended both.
What is Chapter 14 and how is it different from other chapters?
Chapter 14 is the remedies chapter and is included in your General Chapter reading, so you do not book it separately. While the other additional chapters (2–13, 15–17) explore specific life areas, Chapter 14 goes to the root: the karmic patterns, past-life residues, and ancestral threads most active in your present circumstances, along with the remedies the Rishis suggest. It's one of the reasons the General Chapter is so valuable. Book your General Chapter reading here.
Can I book a ceremony without having had a palm leaf reading?
Yes. These ceremonies can be booked independently. If you haven't had a reading, our team can help identify which ceremony would be most relevant to your situation. Contact us via WhatsApp or email to discuss.
How does the Yantra reach me after the ceremony?
Within a week after the last puja day, the charged copper yantra is wrapped and posted to your address by international mail. Delivery then usually takes 2–4 weeks, and you receive an email with the tracking number.
