Grahana shanti Yagya : Recommended Remedy
The Grahana Shanti Yagya, also known as the Eclipse Peace Ceremony, is a sacred Vedic ritual performed to appease the malefic effects of eclipses, particularly the influence of Rahu and Ketu. During eclipses, it is believed that these shadowy planets can exert a negative influence on individuals and the world at large. The Grahana Shanti Yagya is performed by qualified Vedic priests to invoke divine blessings and protection, seeking peace, harmony, and spiritual upliftment. It involves the chanting of Vedic mantras, offering of oblations into the sacred fire, and other ritualistic practices to counteract the adverse effects of the eclipse and promote well-being.
