नवग्रह होमम्

Navagraha Homa

Harmonising the nine planetary energies · The Nine Planets

The Navagraha Homa propitiates the nine planets — Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Budha, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu. It reduces the malefic effects and strengthens the benefic effects of the planets as they influence one's life and horoscope.

Sacred Mantra

ॐ

“Namah Suryaaya Somaaya Mangalaaya Budhaaya cha · Guru Shukra Shanibhyascha Raahave Ketave Namah”

What it feels like

Nine fires, nine planets, nine living forces of your destiny — each honoured in turn with its own grain, colour and mantra. To sit before the Navagraha Homa is to feel the great clock of the cosmos being gently re-set in your favour.

Significance

In Vedic astrology, the planets are not distant bodies but living energies that shape our experience. When a planet is afflicted in the horoscope or running a difficult dasha, the Navagraha Homa restores balance — softening the hard lessons and opening the way to ease, health and success.
