** These remedies are quite helpful and will give good results. Some important things to be kept in mind while performing remedies are:
- Consult an astrologer before you perform any remedy. Based on your chart and the malefic intensity of the planet, an astrologer will suggest the period when the remedies need to be done, and the type of remedy that needs to be done.
- Remedies have to be performed/recited by the person himself/herself. Only in some exceptional cases like children, aged or sick people others close to them like parents, etc. can perform.
- Homas and shanti pujas have to be done under the guidance of vedic pandit.
- Partaking of Prasada of shanti pooja is a must.
- In case of mantra chanting one should get the texts in their mother tongue for accuracy, if in doubt it is better to seek the help of a learned to avoid any mistakes.
- One should do these remedies with full faith and dedication.
- As these planets give results according to our karma, hence, it is best to follow dharmic life, and help those in need. As it is said “Manava sevaye Madhava seva” that is helping those is need is equal to praying to God.
- Lastly, remedies do not change our fate but will reduce the impact of the situation and will improve the inner strength to face them better. Remedies also help one to improve the positive aura.
