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

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.

What happens inside the Navagraha Homa

Performed in the authentic VDS Vaidic paddhati — Sankalpa, Ganapati Puja, Kalasha Sthapana, Punyahavachanam, the consecration of Agni, the deity's offerings, and the final Purnahuti.

    Sankalpa

    Intention set with the person's birth details and the doshas to be addressed.

  2. 2

    Navagraha sthapana

    The nine planets are invoked in their grid, each with its colour, grain and direction.

  3. 3

    Graha mantras & homa

    Each planet is offered its specific samidha (wood) and mantra into the fire in the proper order.

  4. 4

  5. 5

    Purnahuti & Aarti

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.

Benefits

  • Reduces malefic planetary effects
  • Strengthens beneficial planetary influences
  • Relief during difficult dashas and transits
  • Brings balance, health and good fortune

Best time to perform

During difficult planetary periods, or annually for balance.
