Navagraha Stotram (II श्री नवग्रह स्तोत्र II )

Related Topics:Astrological GuidanceMantras and Stotras

All the 9 planets (Nava Graha) in our solar system (Surya Mandal) ‌directly or indirectly influence our lives in many ways. Many times they have ill effects on our lives if they are unfavourably positioned in our natal chart and that leads to a very unhappy, unsuccessful, sometimes diseased and miserable life. This Navgraha Stotram or Navagraha Mantra is written by Maharishi Ved Vyasa. It is very useful in warding off the ill effects of ‌malefic planets or unfavourable planetary position and transit on our lives. You can chant these Navgraha mantras (also called Navgraha Shant Mantra) regularly to bring peace and prosperity to your life.

Navagraha Stotram is a set of mantras for Navagraha Puja, dedicated to 9 planets (Grahas). Regular recitation of the Navgraha mantra acts as a very powerful healing tool to reduce the bad or unfavourable influence of planets in our Kundali or birth chart.
