About Shukra Shanti
Shukra Shanti is a Vedic shanti ritual performed to pacify the malefic influence of Goddess Shukra (Venus) in the natal horoscope and to strengthen its benefic energies. A Vedic shanti for Shukra doshas — performed on a Friday with japa of Shukra moola mantra and prescribed homa. Gopuja arranges qualified Vaidika pandits in Bangalore to perform Shukra Shanti with authentic Sanskrit chanting, Navagraha invocation, japa, and homa as prescribed by classical Jyotisha and Dharmashastra.
When to perform it
Shukra Shanti is best performed on the weekday and nakshatra associated with Goddess Shukra (Venus), during the planet's transit, dasha, or antardasha period that activates affliction in the birth chart. Mahurtam is selected by our jyotishis after reviewing your janma kundali.
The South Indian procedure
South Indian tradition (Kannada, Tamil, Telugu) performs Shukra Shanti with full Ganapathi Puja, Punyahavachanam, Navagraha Sthapana, Goddess Shukra (Venus) adhidevata invocation, Japa of the planet's moola mantra (typically 1,008 or 10,008), Tarpana, and Homa with prescribed samidha and dravya. Family receives prasad and dakshina to the planetary representative.
This is the form our pandits follow by default in Bannimantap — Mysore families are overwhelmingly Kannada-tradition. Tell us if your family follows a different sampradaya and we will match a purohit accordingly.
