Calm the Planets with Navgrah Shanti Puja in Ujjain

The Navgrah Shanti Puja is a sacred Vedic ritual aimed at appeasing the nine celestial planets (Navgrahas) to mitigate their malefic effects and enhance their positive influences. The procedure involves several meticulously performed steps:

Purification and Sankalpa:

The ritual begins with the purification of the sacred space, followed by the Sankalpa (vow), where the devotee declares their intent to perform the puja sincerely.

Invocation of Ganesha:

Lord Ganesha is invoked to remove obstacles and ensure the smooth conduct of the puja. Offerings of flowers, incense, and sweets are made to seek his blessings.

Offerings to the Navagrahas:

Each of the nine planets is honored with specific offerings. These include flowers, fruits, grains, and other items associated with each planet, presented with prayers and mantras.

Mantra Chanting:

Chanting of specific mantras for each planet is performed to appease their energies. These mantras are recited with devotion and precision to invoke the blessings of the Navgrahas.

Havan:

A sacred fire ritual (Havan) is conducted, where offerings such as ghee, grains, and herbs are made into the fire while chanting mantras. This act symbolizes the purification of the environment and the devotee’s soul.
