Frequently Asked Questions
Q.When should I perform Grah Shanti?
Grah Shanti is recommended before major life events (marriage, business launch, home construction), when facing multiple simultaneous problems (suggesting collective planetary issues), at the beginning of a challenging planetary period (dasha), and as an annual preventive practice. A Vedic astrologer can advise on the specific timing and which planets require the most attention.
