Soma Yaga holds significant importance in the yagna culture, with Agnishthoma Soma Yagam being one of the most important among the seven soma yagas. It is a rare event in Kerala, and for the first time in 200 years, it will be held in North Kerala. The yaga will take place in the beautiful village of Kaithapram in Kannur District, Kerala from April 30th to May 5th, 2023. The Agniadhanam, which marks the beginning of the Yaga, will be performed on May 2nd and 3rd, 2022.

Kaithapram is a Village in Northern Kerala which is an abode of many ancient wisdoms. By the enthusiasm and encouragement of the astikā-s, the Village is getting prepared for the Holy agniṣṭomasomayāga which will be held in the six days of vasanta-rtu which will commence from vaiśākha-śukla-daśami (30/4/23-6/5/23).

The yajamāna of this yāga is Brahmaśrī Kombankulam Vishnu Namboothiri who is a native of the village, a descendant of viśvāmitrā gotra, follower of baudhāyana sutrā, and is a well learned yajurvedī. Vishnu namboothiri is also a renowned grammarian, a great poet and performer of nityagnihotra. The acclaimed Vishnu Namboothiri along with his Dharmapatni Śrīmati Usha and his two sons, has been performing the rituals like agnihotra and darśapūrṇamāsa in accordance with the tradition.

So kindly request the Aasthikas to extend financial support to carry out this wonderful yagam. We also request you to participate in this unique yagam all six days and obtain shreyas!
