pooja as remedy

Poojas are considered to be the most powerful way to reduce the negative effects of the planets when compared to any other means like Gems, Rudrakashas or any other materialistic way. More than a person hiring a Vedic Pundit or a purohit for performing the poojas when he himself learns the rituals and performs it by himself the results are highly favorable. But however it has to be performed the right way and the concerned person's horoscope has to be thoroughly analyzed before performing the specific pooja.

Today performance of poojas by the Pundits has itself become a separate field where it is very commercialized. In ancient days a pundit was taken care by the King of that place where the Majesty will provide the pundit with a piece of land and a house to live and the people of the town give them clothes and food as an offering (Dakshina) for teaching them the sastras and for performing the various poojas.

This is not the same scenario today, the lure of money through astrology remedies and poojas is so strong and so the people and pundits have become more materialistic.
