If one is born in one of the Nakshatras ruled by Ketu (shadow planet) and Budh (Mercury), the person is said to have Gand Mool Dosha in their horoscope as per the Vedas. The Mool Nakshatras include Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyestha, Moola, and Revati nakshatra and they are deemed to be the most inauspicious constellations. A baby when born under these positions of constellations has a distressed life, strained relationships, and constant troubles in Life. Even the baby’s parents and relatives suffer from the effects of the GandMool Dosha. The baby, their parents, and their relatives may be in danger and endure a lot of hardships in their lives.
The negative effects arising due to this horoscope combination can be pacified by the Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti Pooja (also known as the Sataisa Puja).
Gand Mool Pooja:
The GandMool Pooja or the Sataisa Puja should be performed on the 27th day of the birth of the baby. It is considered the best time to do this Pooja when it offers the maximum benefits. However, if parents are unable to do so within this time, they should do it either within 27 months or maximum within 27 years of the birth of their child. The Pooja is done on the Muhurat when the Moon falls under the same constellation again as it was during the time of birth of the baby.
At Shri Gauri Shankar Mandir, we perform three variations of the GandMool Pooja:
- Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti Pooja –
The rituals include Vinayak Puja, Sankalpa, Varun Pooja, Navagraha Pooja, Kuldevi Pooja, 27 Nakshatra Pooja, GandMool Nakshatra Japa, GandMool Nakshatra Homam, Mahamangal Aarti, Tilak, Poornahuti, and Prasad Vitaran.
- Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti Pooja with 27,000 Japa –
The Japa is followed by the Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti Pooja.
- Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti Pooja with 81,000 Japa –
This is done over 3 days.
The Sataisa Pooja is an elaborate ritual and takes 5+ hours to complete.
Benefits:
The Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti Pooja protects against the malign influence of the Mool Nakshatras. Other benefits include:
- The person achieves success in Life
- Removes obstacles in the lives of the individual, their parents, and their relatives
- Promotes good health and frees from diseases
- Endows longevity
- Brings peace, joy, love, and good luck to the family
- Nurtures relationships and strengthens familial ties
To negate the effects of the Nakshatra dosha, one should chant the MahamrityunjayJapa regularly. Also, individuals born under the influence of Ashwini, Magha, and Moola should pay obeisance to Lord Ganesha. Individuals born under the malefic influence of Ashlesha, Jyestha, and Revati Nakshatras should seek the blessings of the Budh Navagraha. Donations to the needy also reduce the negative effects.
At Shri Gauri Shankar Mandir, experienced Pandits with the knowledge of the Vedas perform the Gand Mool Nakshatra Shanti Pooja with great devotion and dedication. Also, they ensure performing the rituals exactly as mentioned in the Vedic texts to remove the malevolent effects of the inauspicious Nakshatra positions upon the baby and their family. You can either perform the Pooja service at the temple or online. Contact us for queries.
