Nakshatra Shanti Puja, Cost, Benefits and Types (Aslesha, Mool, Vishakha Nakshatra Shanti Puja)

The Nakshatra Shanti puja or Nakshatra puja is performed to nullify the bad effects of nakshatras prevailing at the time of a person's birth. The puja aims to finish the bad effects of the planets in their main periods ( Mahadasha) or sub-periods ( antardasha) and attain positive results from Lord Nakshatra. Also, to get beneficial results from the same planets, we perform Nakshatra Shanti. As per Vedas, Nakshatra Shanti Puja is essential in our lives. It is conducted once a year for the betterment of one's life. Ashlesha nakshatra Shanti, Vishakha nakshatra Shanti, Mool Nakshatra Shanti, Revati Nakshatra Shanti, Ashwini Nakshatra Shanti, Magha Nakshatra Shanti, and Jyeshta Nakshatra Shanti these are the different types of Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti. A person born in Ashlesha, Jyeshta, or Revati nakshatra should worship Mercury. 

When an individual takes birth, His destiny is decided by God and is shown by Kundali / Horoscope. Destiny means Birth time, Birthplace, or Birth Nakshatra. When a person is born, the moon and the other planets have their specific zodiac signs in which they are present. Planets have huge effects on the life of the person who is born. 

As per our Hindu Vedic astrology, Nakshatra or Janam Nakshatra have significant effects on almost every phase of our lives, including Health, Wealth, Our Nature. Nakshatra plays a key role in shaping life. It is associated with Mahadasha, due to which it has an intense effect on your destiny. Even the duration of Mahadasha and Antar Dasha is also calculated based on the nakshatra, which signifies where the moon was placed at our birth.

Apart from the planets, there are 27 Nakshatras. They are also having powerful effects on the person's life. Due to the malefic impact of Nakshatras, it causes unhappiness of the person to a very great extent. One can become averse to his good luck when malefic effects of Nakshatras entrap a person to the extent that he/she cannot recover from the impact of the Nakshatra. For the suitable position of planets ( Grah) or to get suitable Kundali Yog, we perform Nakshatra Shanti Puja. 

Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti

To reduce the bad effects of Gand Mool Nakshatras, we perform Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti Puja. As per the standard practice by Aarcharya, it is said that Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti should be done within 27 days after the child's birth.

This Gandh Mool Nakshatras presence is not so good for the child. As per Jyotish Shastra, the child born in these Nakshatras has to face many issues from childhood to old age. He has to face problems related to education, health, carrier, marriage, property, and other aspects of life. Not only the child but also the family members have to face problems along with him. Mool, Jyeshtha, and Ashlesha have more effects as compared to other Nakshatras. 

As per Jyotish Shastras, There are 27 Nakshatras. They are 27 equal division of Lunar path (Moon's path). The path covered by the moon in the year is equally divided into 27 divisions and each sector. 

Out of 27 Nakshatras, 6 Nakshatra are considered inauspicious, and they are called Gand Mool Nakshatra.
