Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja

Description

Rahu and Ketu are known as shadow planets in Vedic astrology, and their influence can lead to various difficulties in life. Rahu is often associated with confusion, deceit, and sudden changes, while Ketu can bring detachment, loss, and spiritual challenges. When these planets are placed unfavorably in a birth chart, they can cause health problems, financial difficulties, relationship issues, and mental stress. The Rahu-Ketu axis, especially during the Rahu Mahadasha or Ketu Mahadasha, can lead to a period of intense challenges and obstacles in one’s life.
To mitigate the adverse effects of Rahu and Ketu, the Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja is performed. This puja is specifically designed to appease these shadow planets and bring relief from their malefic influences. The rituals include the chanting of mantras dedicated to Rahu and Ketu, offering black sesame seeds, and conducting a Navagraha Havan. The puja helps in neutralizing the negative energies, bringing clarity, and enhancing mental peace. It is also advisable to chant the Rahu and Ketu mantras regularly, donate black clothes or mustard oil, and feed birds or animals as additional remedies.
