Graha Shanti Puja

Introduction

As the name suggests Graha Shanti Havan is a Puja and Havan conducted for the purpose of peace in dwelling. It has to be performed in nine parts. This is because there are nine planets and each one has to be prayed to. This Yagya is a perfect combination of a prayer to all the nine planets; in order to bless our homes with happiness and harmony. This Havan requires the study of the horoscopes of the main individual. If there are any negative effects i.e. doshas of a particular Graha then they too can be cured through this Graha Shanti Havan.

Importance and Significance of Graha Shanti Puja

The Graha Shanti Havan is primarily aimed at reducing or eliminating the negative effects of the planets that are not in our favour as per our horoscopes. This makes life smoother and more easy-going. Because it is a ‘Graha Shanti Puja’, it helps to create harmony amongst all the members who shall take shelter there. Major problems in our lives are caused due to these doshas. They help determine the levels and frequency of peace, harmony, health and wealth in our lives. This Havan is extremely beneficial to spread positivity in the environment.

Benefits of Graha Shanti Puja

• Likewise, a proper Bhoomi Puja can bring luck and good fortune to the building, whether you may build it for yourself or to sell further.
• One good aspect is that the Puja can be customized to suit the type of land as well as the intended construction.
• It is essential to do this Puja to seek the blessings of Mother Earth; to ensure protection and well-being of the person who occupies the building.
• Through the Bhoomi Puja we pray to the Vastu Purush and invoke his blessings. It also helps remove the various types of Vastu Doshas.
• The Griha Pravesh Puja is a part of the Vastu Shanti Puja and is done in order to appease the Gods and planets so that the owner of the house is blessed with good fortune and all the planets i.e. Navagraha and Vastu God is also worshipped so that no harm can be caused either to the home or it’s inmates.
