Graha Shanti (Dosh Nivaran) Pujas

Shani Shanti Puja, also known as Shani Dosh Nivaran Puja is conducted to nullify the malefic effects of a weakly placed Planet Shani (Saturn) in the Kundli. It is also conducted when a native is undergoing Mahadasha or Antardasha or Sade Sati of Planet Shani Dev. A weakly placed Surya causes losses, misfortunes, failures and miseries. On the other hand a strongly placed Shani dev blesses one with success, status, stability, prosperity and relief from problems. Shani Dev is regarded as one of the most influential planet of the Navgraha. It is primarily associated with disciple, duty, responsibility, karma teachings and kasht nivaran. Planet Saturn blesses devotees with good health, status in society, growth and success, cordial relationships, relief from problems and issues. 

Shani Shanti Puja helps nullify the malefic effects of Planet Shani and enhance its positive effects in an individual’s Birth Chart (Horoscope). During the Puja Shani Dev is invoked and worshiped and its Divine blessings are sought for good health, wealth, protection and prosperity. Planet Saturn is the slowest moving Planets, so in Vedic Astrology its impact, be it positive or negative on a native is intense and over a longer duration of time. A strongly placed Shani Dev in the natal chart is closely associated with long-term success, stability, prosperity and maturity. Shani Dev is also associated with hard work, karma and teachings. A strong Shani in the natal chart ensures growth and progress. On the other hand a malefic Saturn causes challenges and delays, turmoil in relationships and professional life and also health challenges. Thus Divine blessings of Surya Dev ensure kasht nivaran in both professional and personal fronts.
