Rahu Ketu Shanti Homa – A Simple Way to Bring Peace in Life
Namaste,
Today I will tell you about a very old and strong remedy from our Vedic shastra. It is called Rahu Ketu Shanti Homa. This is not some modern thing. This is what our Rishis and elders used to do when life was not going smooth.
I have seen many ups and downs. And I have also seen how Rahu and Ketu can turn life upside down. But don’t worry. There is a solution. Our Sanatana Dharma has given us a way. That way is this homa.
Let me explain everything in simple words. You will understand.
Who Are Rahu and Ketu?
Now, you may know that there are 9 grahas (planets) in our jyotish shastra. Among them, two are not real planets. They are called Rahu and Ketu. We can’t see them in the sky. But they still affect our life very strongly.
In our old story of Samudra Manthan, a demon named Svarbhanu tried to drink Amrit. But Bhagwan Vishnu cut his head with His Sudarshana Chakra. The head became Rahu, and the body became Ketu.
Even though they don’t have full body, they are very powerful. They are called shadow planets. They don’t give physical problems always, but they disturb our mind, luck, and karma.
What Problems Do Rahu and Ketu Give?
When Rahu and Ketu are not in good position in your kundali, then many things go wrong.
You may face:
Late marriage
Job problems or no promotion
Money loss
Unknown fear or stress
Health issues that doctors can’t explain
Feeling stuck in life
Strange dreams or mental tension
Sometimes people keep doing everything right, but still life doesn’t move forward. That is when you should check Rahu and Ketu in your horoscope.
What Is Rahu Ketu Shanti Homa?
Rahu Ketu Shanti Homa is a special Agni Puja done as per Vedic vidhi. In this, offerings are made in sacred fire with mantras to calm Rahu and Ketu. It brings relief from their bad effects.
This homa is done by Vedic purohits who know the correct mantras and rituals.
This is not a normal puja. This is a proper shanti kriya (peace ritual) that works on your karma and graha doshas.
How the Homa Is Done – Step by Step
I will explain in simple steps:
Sankalpa – Your name and problem is told to the Devatas with faith.
Punyahavachanam – Holy water is sprinkled for purification.
Offerings – Ghee, black til (sesame), herbs are put in fire.
Mantra Japa – Special mantras of Rahu and Ketu are chanted.
Navagraha Puja – All 9 planets are worshipped.
Tarpana – Offerings to Pitrs (ancestors) and Devatas.
Poornahuti – Final big offering with full heart.
Aarti – Prayer with diya and bell to complete the puja.
After this homa, you will feel mental peace. Problems may slowly reduce. Life starts moving again.
When Should You Do This Homa?
Some good times are:
On Amavasya (new moon)
During Rahu Kalam (each day has a Rahu time)
On Eclipse days
During Rahu or Ketu Mahadasha or Antardasha
If you have Kala Sarpa Dosha, Sarpa Dosha, or Grahana Yoga
You can ask an astrologer to check your kundali and tell if you need this homa.
Extra Sevas You Can Also Do
Sometimes, to get faster or better results, we do extra pujas along with this homa.
Rudrabhishek Seva for Shivji
Bhagwan Shiv is called Graha Pati. He controls all grahas. When you do Rudrabhishek for Him, He removes all doshas.
This includes:
Bathing the Shivling with milk, water, curd, honey
Offering Bilwa patra and flowers
Doing Aarti with diya and incense
This gives peace of mind and blessings of Shivji.
Daan Seva – Simple Donations
In our Dharma, giving daan is very powerful. It burns bad karma.
For Rahu and Ketu, give:
Black sesame seeds (til)
Black urad dal
Horse gram (kulthi)
These are given to Brahmanas after the homa. It helps complete the shanti.
What Benefits You Will Get
This homa brings many good things in life:
Mind becomes calm
Fear and confusion reduce
Career and marriage blocks go away
Karmic doshas slowly clear
Sleep improves
Negative thoughts reduce
Spiritual energy increases
Peace comes in home and family
What Our Shastras Say
Don’t think this is just belief. It is written in our shastras also.
In Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Rahu and Ketu are linked to karma and past life.
In Skanda Purana, it is said that doing puja during Rahu Kalam brings peace.
Manu Smriti tells that daan is very important when grahas are giving trouble.
Why JyotirGamaya?
Now you may ask, who will do this homa properly?
JyotirGamaya is one platform where trained purohits do proper Vedic homas. They follow all rules. Everything is done with correct mantras and pure items.
You can book online. They help you before and after the puja also. If you don’t know much, they will explain everything. They also do personal sankalpa in your name.
My Final Words
Life is full of challenges. Sometimes we don’t understand why things are not working. We go to doctors, pandits, offices – but still feel stuck.
In such time, don’t lose hope.
Do this homa with faith. It may not bring change overnight, but slowly your path will become clear. It removes the blocks. That is the power of Veda and agni.
Remember – Rahu and Ketu are part of your karmic story. But you also have the power to balance it.
Take one step. Let Dharma do the rest.
