Navagraha Japam / Shanthi

The rite

Navagraha Japam with Shanthi elements combines mantra repetition for all nine grahas with pacification prayers, ideal when fire homa is not possible in your Bengaluru flat but astrologers still prescribe a full planetary remedy. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma leads the session with nine-lamp layout or colour-coded rice bowls, cycling mantras at a steady pace while family members join selected graha sections relevant to their charts. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma serves North Indian Vedic pooja at the client house across Bengaluru and nearby towns within the usual visit radius. The WhatsApp thread before the day covers samagri quantities, parking, and whether children or elders need seated arrangements near the altar. Mention any society rules about incense, terrace access, or guest parking when you message on WhatsApp so the visit stays smooth for neighbours and family. You may share photos of your existing altar so Panditji knows what is already on hand before he lists extras on WhatsApp.

Time at the house: About 3–4 hours

Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.

Why families book it

This format suits elderly parents who cannot tolerate smoke, IT professionals booking a Sunday without terrace access, and students before board exams when Budha and Guru japam segments are emphasised within the navagraha set. It also works as a follow-up three months after a navagraha homam to maintain discipline.

Japam/shanthi balances planetary themes in prayer; it does not replace hard work on studies or job search. Panditji marks which grahas received extra repetitions if your jyotish singled them out. Splitting japam across two Sundays requires the same lamp spot and vow continuity; Panditji notes this on the first visit. This page does not list fees, ratings, or street addresses, and it does not promise marriage, job placement, or medical cures. Booking uses the site WhatsApp form; nothing from this page is stored in a database.

Questions

Japam only or shanthi only?

This booking blends both as catalog name suggests; specify emphasis on WhatsApp.

Split across two Sundays?

Possible for long counts—plan upfront.

Vs Navagraha Shanthi page?

Shanthi page may be puja-weighted; here japa time dominates.

Wear gemstones during japa?

Family choice; ritual does not require gems.

Pregnant lady sankalpa?

Allowed with modified fasting; medical advice first.

Include hanuman for mangal?

Optional addition if time permits.

Mantra sheet provided?

Pandit may share phonetic summary after session.

What should we prepare before Panditji arrives?

Clear a clean floor or table space, arrange samagri from the WhatsApp list, and keep drinking water ready for elders. Pets are best kept in another room during sankalpa.
