Navagraha Shanti Pooja
Welcome to Pujari Dekho's blog. Today I will tell you about the powerful Vedic ritual of Navgraha Shanti Puja which will help you to appease the nine celestial planets (Navgrahas) and remove the negative effects of Graha Doshas (malevolent effects). These planets influence our lives, and when their position is unfavorable, they can bring challenges, obstacles and difficulties in your life. This pooja is performed to bring peace, prosperity and harmony in one's life.

3. Mangal (Mars) - Associated with courage,
energy, and strength.

When to Perform Navagraha Shanti Pooja?
There is a time period for performing the Navagraha Shanti Pooja. This pooja is ideally performed on an auspicious day, such as Amavasya, Poornima or during the transit of planets. It is also recommended for individuals who are going through difficult times due to planetary defects in their birth chart.
How is Navagraha Shanti Pooja Performed?
1. Ganapati Pooja - Worshipping Lord
Ganesha to remove obstacles.
2. Kalash Sthapana - Setting up the sacred
pot symbolizing divine energy.
3. Navagraha Invocation - Inviting the
planetary deities.
4. Mantra Chanting - Reciting powerful
Navagraha mantras.
5. Havan (Fire Ritual) - Offering sacred
herbs and ghee into the fire.
6. Daan (Charity) - Offering donations of
food, clothes, and items related to each planet.
7. Prasad Distribution - Concluding the pooja by distributing sacred offerings.
Who Should Perform Navagraha Shanti Pooja?
Anyone facing problems in life due to planetary positions, financial instability, health issues, relationship troubles or career obstacles can benefit from this Puja. It is highly recommended for people going through Shani Mahadasha, Rahu Mahadasha or other planetary transitions. Because all the planets have different effects on people's lives. At present, people are mostly affected by the influence of Rahu, due to which people are mentally very disturbed. Along with this, sometimes when people buy a house, due to their Vaastu not being correct, they have to perform Griha Pooja of that place.
Conclusion
Navagraha Shanti Pooja is a powerful and effective ritual to balance planetary energies and bring harmony into life. By performing this pooja with devotion and faith, one can overcome challenges and receive divine blessings for a prosperous future. If you are facing difficulties due to planetary doshas, consult an experienced pandit and perform this pooja to restore peace and happiness in your life.
