Description
The term Navagraha denotes the 9 celestial bodies that are central to spiritual calculations (and beliefs) (and not the nine planets as it is usually mistakenly translated). The Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the two shadow planets Rahu and Ketu represent the Navagraha.
The nine “grahas” or planets in our horoscope command our fate, our desires and their outcomes. Each of these 9 planets exerts an influence in our lives, which is known as “dasa” and it can be known from one’s horoscope. Navagraha Puja/homam is performed to reduce the negative effects and improve the positive energies associated with someone.
The Navagraha Puja is carried out to extend the positive effects and diminish the negative energies in an individual’s life.
