About Surya Shanti
Surya Shanti is a Vedic shanti ritual performed to pacify the malefic influence of Lord Surya (Sun) in the natal horoscope and to strengthen its benefic energies. A complete Vedic shanti for Surya doshas — performed on a Sunday with Aditya Hridaya parayana, japa, and homa. Gopuja arranges qualified Vaidika pandits in Bangalore to perform Surya Shanti with authentic Sanskrit chanting, Navagraha invocation, japa, and homa as prescribed by classical Jyotisha and Dharmashastra.
When to perform it
Surya Shanti is best performed on the weekday and nakshatra associated with Lord Surya (Sun), 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 Surya Shanti with full Ganapathi Puja, Punyahavachanam, Navagraha Sthapana, Lord Surya (Sun) 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 Agrahara — Mysore families are overwhelmingly Kannada-tradition. Tell us if your family follows a different sampradaya and we will match a purohit accordingly.
