Mool Shanti Puja

Mool Shanti Puja is performed to nullify the malefic effects of being born under specific "Mool Nakshatras" (like Ashwini, Magha, Moola, etc.). According to Vedic astrology, births under certain nakshatras can bring doshas that may affect the child or family members. This puja helps to pacify planetary influences and bring peace, health, and prosperity.

The Mool Shanti Puja is ideally done in the first year of the child’s birth, usually on the 27th day or during the first birthday. It involves invoking deities and nakshatra lords, chanting specific mantras, and offering oblations to mitigate negative effects.

Main Rituals of Mool Shanti Puja:

• Gauri Ganesh Kalash Sthapana
• Invocation of Nakshatra deity
• Recitation of relevant Vedic mantras
• Havan (sacred fire ritual) for Shanti
• Pind Daan (if required by tradition)
• Tarpan and Brahmin Bhojan

This puja is highly recommended to protect the child and family from any astrological doshas associated with birth in Mool Nakshatras.

Benefits of Mool Shanti Puja:

• Nullifies doshas of Mool Nakshatra.
• Ensures well-being of the child and family.
• Brings peace, harmony, and positive energy.
• Prevents health or financial obstacles caused by nakshatra dosh.
