What Is Nakshatra Shanthi Homam?
The planets that occupy various positions in our horoscope determine our destiny. They can give us success or failure. Due to their positions and transitions, they can hinder our growth and development. A Homam is a Fire ritual to invoke divine blessings for removing various problems in life. There are many types of Homams. Nakshatra Shanti Homam propitiates the Nakshatra Devata, who rules the Nakshatra/birth star of a person. It can also be performed to all the 27 Nakshatras for overall auspiciousness. People who have Nakshatra Dosha in their birth chart may face many obstacles and suffer the ill effects of the accumulation of bad karma. This Homa can be an effective remedy for such problems.
The Homa can be performed on your birthday every year for protection from the adverse influences of the planets.
The word ‘Nakshatra’ means “that which does not decay”. Nakshatra is one of the 27 divisions of the sky. Each one covers 13 degrees and 20 minutes of the zodiac. Each Nakshatra is the head of a group of stars. In Vedic astrology, Nakshatra plays a major role in our lives. The Janma Nakshatra is the star where the Moon is placed at the time of your birth.
Nakshatra Shanti Homam enables you to develop a connection with your Janma Nakshatra/birth star. The Moon occupies the house of this star on the Thithi of one’s birth. All of us interact with the 27 birth stars, as a particular star presides over each day. This ritual can remove negative planetary influences in your life. Favorable planets can bless you with many benefits in this and future lifetimes.
There are 27 Nakshatras in Vedic astrology. People are born under the influence of different Nakshatras and a particular Rashi/Moon sign. Each Nakshatra has 4 Padams. The Nakshatra and Padam can bestow positive or negative effects. The negative effects may be harmful to the child, parents or relatives. If the child is born under Durmuhurtham or Varjyam, then one should perform Nakshatra Shanti Homa for all 27 Nakshatras.
In this Homa, Poojas are performed for the Nakshatra Devatas on your behalf, Nakshatra overlord, Ishta Devata/favorite deity, Kula Devata/family deity, Lord Shiva, the Navagrahas, and others. This creates a positive impact on all aspects of your life.
Why Nakshatra Shanthi Homam?
The star constellation that the Moon occupies at the time of your birth is your Janma Nakshatra. Janma Nakshatra can influence your thought patterns, nature, and destiny. It also determines your instincts and the subconscious aspects of your personality.
The Vedas say that Nakshatra Pooja/Homa is very important, and one should perform it once a year to enjoy a good life. The Nakshatra Homa is usually recommended only for the 6 Gandaak/Gand Mool Nakshatras: Ashwini, Moola, Jyestha, Ashlesha, Revati, and Magha. Nakshatras that are ruled by Mercury and Ketu are Gandaak Nakshatras. If the natal Moon in a person’s horoscope is in one of the abovementioned 6 Nakshatras, the person is born in a Gand Mool Nakshatra.
Traditional astrologers believe that a child born in any of these Nakshatras is inauspicious and will face obstacles and problems in life. If the Pooja/Homa is not performed during childhood, one can do it on the Janma Nakshatra later in life. But it should be performed as soon as possible.
This Homam is performed by those who wish to lead a better life. If a Nakshatra is unfavorable in your birth chart, it causes various problems. By performing this Homam, one can experience positive outcomes.
