Navagraha Shanti Puja is a Vedic ritual performed to appease and seek blessings from the nine celestial bodies or grahas in Hindu astrology. The nine celestial bodies, also known as the Navagrahas, include the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. These planets are believed to influence various aspects of human life and can impact an individual's well-being, success, and overall happiness.
Navagraha Shanti Puja is conducted to mitigate the malefic effects of these planetary positions and to bring harmony and prosperity into one's life. It is believed that performing this Puja can help in balancing the energies associated with each graha, promoting overall well-being and success. The rituals and specific procedures for Navagraha Shanti Puja may vary based on the particular planetary positions in an individual's horoscope and the specific doshas or imbalances that need to be addressed.
By conducting the Navagraha Shanti Puja, devotees seek to alleviate the negative influences of the grahas and invite their positive energies for a more balanced and fulfilling life journey.
