What is Kuja Rahu Sandhi Shanti?

Kuja Rahu Sandhi Shanti is a special Shanti Homam performed to pacify the intense astrological transition period when Mars (Kuja) moves into or out of conjunction with Rahu. This period, known as Kuja-Rahu Sandhi, can trigger aggression, accidents, health issues, and financial instability if not remedied properly. Performing this Shanti ritual helps neutralize the malefic impact and ensures stability, especially in health, relationships, and career.

Benefits of Kuja Rahu Sandhi Shanti.

• Reduces aggression, impulsive behavior, and stress-related issues.
• Protects from accidents, surgeries, and blood-related disorders.
• Balances Mars and Rahu energies to stabilize family and career life.
• Neutralizes Kuja Dosha and Rahu Mahadasha or Antardasha effects.
• Helps prevent financial losses and legal disputes.
• Promotes emotional calmness, mental clarity, and spiritual discipline.

Best Time to Perform Kuja Rahu Sandhi Shanti.

• During the actual Kuja-Rahu Sandhi period or shortly before/after it.
• Tuesdays, Saturdays, and days of Chitra, Mrigashira, or Ardra Nakshatra are preferred.
• During Rahu Kalam or Mangal Hora for maximum effectiveness.
• Muhurtham must be calculated by an astrologer based on individual horoscope.
• Can also be done during planetary Mahadasha/Antardasha transitions involving Mars or Rahu.

Procedure of Kuja Rahu Sandhi Shanti.

The ritual begins with Sankalpam, naming the individual and their planetary positions, followed by Ganapathi Pooja, Navagraha Shanti, and Kalasha Sthapana. Special emphasis is placed on Mars and Rahu, where mantras like Angaraka Beej Mantra and Rahu Beej Mantra are chanted. Offerings of red sandalwood, red cloth, mustard seeds, and nine types of grains are made into the homa fire to pacify Mars and Rahu energies.

The priest performs Havan (Homam) by chanting powerful mantras from the Angaraka Sukta and Rahu Shanti hymns. Poornahuti is then offered to complete the ritual, and prasadam/theertham is distributed to the devotee. The ritual concludes with donations to Brahmins and feeding of cows or animals as per tradition. This helps balance fiery karmic tendencies and brings protection during turbulent astrological transitions.
