“Graha” refers to the planetary bodies, while “Shanti” means peace. Together, the term signifies creating harmony and balance between an individual and the planets, while reducing or neutralizing the harmful effects caused by planetary influences. In this sense, Graha Shanti helps eliminate negative planetary impacts, remove obstacles, and invite happiness and prosperity into one’s life. Since stars and planets are believed to strongly influence human life, Graha Shanti is performed to harmonize the Navagraha, or nine planets, enabling an individual or a couple to lead a peaceful, balanced, and fulfilling life.
