Ketu Grah Puja
"Ketu Grah Puja"
The Ketu Grah Puja is a sacred ritual performed to appease the planet Ketu and seek its blessings for the individual. In Vedic astrology, Ketu is considered a shadow planet that represents spiritual enlightenment, liberation, and the karmic consequences of past actions. Performing the Ketu Grah Puja is believed to mitigate the malefic effects of Ketu and enhance its positive influences in one's life.
During the Ketu Grah Puja, experienced priests or pandits conduct prayers, rituals, and offerings to invoke the blessings of Ketu and seek its divine protection. The Puja aims to pacify the negative influences of Ketu and promote spiritual growth, wisdom, and inner peace.
The Puja may include the following components:
Purification Rituals: The Puja begins with purification rituals to cleanse the space and participants of negative energies. This may involve the sprinkling of holy water, the burning of sacred herbs or incense, and the recitation of purifying mantras.
Invocation of Deity: Priests invoke the blessings of Ketu and seek its divine grace for the individual. Offerings such as flowers, fruits, and sweets are made to Ketu as a gesture of reverence and devotion.
Mantra Chanting: Powerful mantras and prayers dedicated to Ketu are recited to invoke its blessings and appease its malefic influences. These mantras are believed to have the ability to neutralize negative energies and promote spiritual growth and enlightenment.
Havan or Fire Ritual: A sacred fire (havan) may be lit as part of the Puja, with offerings of ghee, grains, and herbs made into the fire while chanting specific mantras. The smoke from the fire is believed to carry prayers and offerings to the heavens, seeking divine intervention and blessings from Ketu.
Blessings and Prasad: At the conclusion of the Puja, participants receive blessings from the priests and offerings of prasad (blessed food) as a symbol of divine grace and protection.
The Ketu Grah Puja is performed with utmost sincerity, devotion, and reverence, with the intention of seeking blessings from Ketu for spiritual growth, protection, and well-being.
