Shaanti Pooja is a Hindu ritual that is performed to bring peace and harmony to the home. According to ancient Hindu scriptures and Vedas, Vastu Shastra is considered as the brain of architecture. It helps one reap the fruits of positive energies found in basic elements: Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and Sky. Vastu is also followed to construct the house as per the position of planets and their effects on the house’s atmosphere. Nowadays, due to fast life and limited spaces, people are unable to build a house by keeping Vastu Shastra in mind. People hold a Vastu shanti pooja to rectify the Vastu Dosha (flaws that may have occurred during construction) in their homes. This Vastu shanti pooja is nothing but a special offering to the Lords residing in the directions of the home and nature’s forces and elements. This ensures that the air around the people residing in that home is purified.
The benefits of performing a Shaanti Pooja are numerous. It frees the members in a home from health and wealth issues. It helps remove the bad effects that may occur because of the incorrect position of the planets. It improves relationship and bonding between the family members. It removes the obstacles that might occur in one’s career, marriage or other areas of life. Vastu shanti pooja gifts family with happiness and bliss thereby making their life smooth.
