About this ceremony
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.
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.
- 1
Sankalpa
Intention set with the person's birth details and the doshas to be addressed.
- 2
Navagraha sthapana
The nine planets are invoked in their grid, each with its colour, grain and direction.
- 3
Graha mantras & homa
Each planet is offered its specific samidha (wood) and mantra into the fire in the proper order.
- 4
Shanti Patha
Peace invocations are chanted to settle the planetary influences harmoniously.
- 5
Purnahuti & Aarti
The final offering completes the homa.
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.
