Grah Shanti: Remedies and Rituals for Planetary Peace
According to astrology, individuals whose horoscopes indicate any defects related to the planets are advised to perform Grah Shanti Puja. This puja removes all planetary defects. In our Hindu religion, it is considered very auspicious to worship the nine forms of Goddess Durga during the nine days of Navratri. If a devotee fasts and worships Goddess Durga with devotion to please her, all their wishes asked during these days are fulfilled, and all life's troubles are removed. It is said that the nine planets reside in Goddess Durga, which is why performing Grah Shanti Puja during Navratri is considered very auspicious.
If an individual's horoscope shows negative effects of any planet, Grah Shanti Puja is performed to reduce these effects on the person's life. It is said that those who committed bad deeds in their past lives suffer from the bad effects of planets in this life. To get rid of these bad effects, Grah Shanti is performed. Learn about the effects of the planets and how to reduce their negative impact.
Effects of the Planets
According to astrology, the position of the planets at the time of an individual's birth is very important as it affects their entire life, including health, career, and relationships. If there are benefic planets at birth, the individual receives favorable outcomes, while malefic planets lead to numerous challenges and obstacles in life.
Identifying the Effects of Malefic Planets
Malefic planets affect individuals in various ways, such as delays in work, struggles, health issues, and obstacles in work. Each planet has its own characteristics and impacts, such as Mars causing aggression, Saturn causing delays and obstacles, and Rahu causing confusion and unpredictability. If these planets have negative effects on an individual's life, they face many challenges and frequent obstacles to happiness.
Importance of Grah Shanti
Performing rituals for Grah Shanti helps reduce the negative effects of malefic planets in an individual's life. These rituals are based on ancient Vedic texts and traditions. According to our astrological science, the purpose of performing Grah Shanti rituals is to receive the blessings of planetary deities and transform their effects from malefic to benefic through rituals, offerings, and prayers.
Grah Shanti Ritual
According to the fourth session, the peace of malefic planets is considered very important. After examining the horoscope, various processes are suggested according to scriptures for peace, such as chanting, havan (fire rituals), and other ceremonies. This includes Navgrah Shanti, Satyanarayan Maha Yajna, and Rudrabhishek.
