Navagraha Shanti Vidhi – Step-by-Step Ritual Process
The Navagraha Shanti Vidhi is performed according to ancient Vedic scriptures and requires detailed astrological insights into the devotee’s horoscope. Below is an overview of the Pooja process:
1. Sankalp (Pledge & Intention): The pandit initiates the ritual by reciting the devotee's name, birth details, and purpose of the Pooja.
2. Purification (Shuddhi & Pranayama): The surroundings are spiritually cleansed using Ganga jal (holy water) and incense. The devotee is also spiritually prepared.
3. Kalash Sthapana & Navagraha Yantra Placement: Nine kalashas (pots) representing each planet are placed and energized. A Navagraha Yantra is installed and worshipped.
4. Invocation & Chanting of Planetary Mantras: Each planet is invoked using its Beej Mantra. The pandit chants powerful Vedic mantras and Graha Sukta to pacify and honor them.
Examples:
Surya Mantra: Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah
Shani Mantra: Om Praam Preem Praum Sah Shanaischaraya Namah
5. Offerings to Each Graha: Specific items corresponding to each planet's elemental nature, such as flowers, colors, grains, and clothing, are offered to every Graha.
6. Havan (Fire Ritual): The sacred fire is lit, and oblations are offered while chanting each Graha’s mantra. This is one of the most crucial parts of the Navagraha Shanti Vidhi.
7. Aarti and Prasad Distribution: The ritual concludes with the Aarti, blessings from the pandit, and the offering of Prasad (holy food) to the devotee.
