Nakshatra Shanti Puja
For birth under an inauspicious nakshatra
A child born in Mool, Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, Magha or Revati-gandanta, or in a gandmool period, requires Nakshatra Shanti within the first months. The ritual protects the child and the parents from the affliction of that birth star.

Understanding the ritual
What is Nakshatra Shanti Puja?
Certain nakshatras carry a dosh at the moment of birth — Mool, Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, Magha and the gandanta junctions between signs. The shastras prescribe a shanti within the first month of life, but it may be performed at any age afterwards.
The puja worships the presiding deity of the birth nakshatra along with its ruling planet, and includes abhishek of the child or adult with waters gathered under the correct pada.
Parents usually come for it soon after birth on a family astrologer's advice. Adults come when a persistent difficulty is traced back to a gandanta or Mool birth that was never pacified.

Families who completed this puja
Guru Ji read our kundali for almost an hour before saying anything about the puja. Four months after the Nivaran, my transfer that had been stuck since 2023 finally came through. He never rushed us once.
