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