Performed by Veedamurthy Nithyananda Gokhale
Kuja Shanti, also known as Mangal Dosha Nivarana, is a traditional Vedic ritual performed to reduce the adverse effects of Kuja (Mars) in one’s horoscope. Mars is considered a fiery and energetic planet, and its placement in certain houses of the birth chart is believed to create Mangala Dosha, which may affect harmony in relationships, particularly marriage.
This shanthi is especially significant for individuals who are Manglik or those experiencing delays, misunderstandings, or difficulties in marriage and partnerships. Veedamurthy Nithyananda Gokhale, an experienced astrologer and Vedic priest, performs Kuja Shanti with precise rituals and mantras as prescribed in ancient scriptures, offering a spiritually grounded path for peace and resolution.
Purpose and Benefits of Kuja Shanti
In Vedic astrology, Mangala Dosha can influence not just marriage but also temperament, communication, and domestic peace. Kuja Shanti is recommended when:
Mangala Dosha is present in the birth chart
There are delays or obstacles in marriage
The individual experiences frequent arguments or emotional imbalance in relationships
There are tensions or instability in the family or home environment
Mars is weak, afflicted, or malefic in current planetary transits or dasha periods
The ritual aims to pacify the energy of Mars and seek blessings for harmony, strength, and stability in personal life. While rooted in faith and tradition, Kuja Shanti is considered a meaningful spiritual practice that promotes inner balance and calmness.
How Kuja Shanti is Performed
Veedamurthy Nithyananda Gokhale conducts the Kuja Shanti with deep devotion and strict adherence to traditional methods:
Sankalpa – The ritual begins with an intention-setting (sankalpa), where the name, star, and purpose of the individual are formally stated.
Navagraha Invocation – All nine planetary deities are invoked, with special focus on Mars (Kuja).
Kuja Japam – Vedic chanting of the Kuja mantras is performed to energize the ritual.
Offerings into the Sacred Fire – Sacred items like ghee, herbs, and grains are offered into the fire while chanting Mars-related hymns.
Purnahuti – The final and most important offering, symbolizing the completion of the ritual and request for divine blessings.
Ashirvada and Prasadam – Participants receive the blessings and sanctified offerings from the ritual.
The process is not just a ritual but a meditative, spiritually purifying experience.
