Navagraha Shanti
Navagraha Shanti or Navagraha Homa in Gokarna is a powerful and sacred Vedic ritual performed to appease the nine celestial planets (Navagraha) and reduce any malefic effects caused by their unfavorable positioning in a person’s birth chart. In Gokarna, renowned for its spiritual significance and the presence of the ancient Gokarna Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, this ritual holds special importance for those seeking to balance their lives and remove astrological obstacles.
The ritual involves worshipping each of the nine planets—Sun (Surya), Moon (Chandra), Mars (Mangala), Mercury (Budha), Jupiter (Guru), Venus (Shukra), Saturn (Shani), and the lunar nodes (Rahu and Ketu)—through specific prayers, mantras, and offerings. Devotees offer sacred items like milk, honey, fruits, flowers, and ghee, while chanting dedicated mantras to appease each planet. This process is carried out with meticulous care by experienced priests, ensuring the full spiritual and astrological benefits.
Benefits of Navagraha Shanti or Navagraha Puja include the removal of negative planetary influences, improved health, success in career and personal life, financial prosperity, protection from enemies, and relief from personal or familial troubles. The ritual is especially beneficial for those experiencing difficulties due to planetary doshas or dosha-related afflictions.
The cost of Navagraha Shanti varies depending on the customization of the ceremony. Factors like the duration (single day or multi-day rituals), the number of Japas, Havan Ahuthis, and offerings, influence the overall price. Customizations can be made to suit individual needs, and the cost generally ranges from moderate to high, depending on the scale of the ritual and the specific services requested. However, the benefits and spiritual transformation it brings make it a highly valued practice for many devotees. You can customize after discussing with Muktikshetra Gokarna team.
