About Budha Shanti
Budha Shanti is a Vedic shanti ritual performed to pacify the malefic influence of Lord Budha (Mercury) in the natal horoscope and to strengthen its benefic energies. A Vedic shanti for Budha doshas — performed on a Wednesday with Budha moola mantra japa and homa. Gopuja arranges qualified Vaidika pandits in Bangalore to perform Budha Shanti with authentic Sanskrit chanting, Navagraha invocation, japa, and homa as prescribed by classical Jyotisha and Dharmashastra.
When to Perform
Budha Shanti is best performed on the weekday and nakshatra associated with Lord Budha (Mercury), 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.
