As the planets are considered to play a major role in deciding the desting of man, Navagraha Pooja is performedall the nine grahas (planets) play a vital role in the life of a man. In astrology, great importance is given to the positions of the “Nagagraha” in the twelve constellations of the zodiac, their planetary movements and their effect on human beings. A particular ‘Graha’ may be beneficial or adverse depending on where it is placed in a person’s horoscope. In the latter case prayers to the particular “Graha” is said to remove the ill effects.

Lord Surya was worshipped by Lord Rama before the war against Ravana. His grace is believed to lead to power position, etc. Chandra’s grace is required for the health of the mind and consequently the body. The ‘Rasi’ in a horoscope is decided by the position of the moon, just as the ‘Lagna’ which is ruled by the Sun. Lord Angaraka, is the molder of the leaders of countries. He graces those who stand up for truth. Lord Buddha, is the giver of Wisdom.

Prayers to Lord Guru can alleviate the sufferings brought about by adverse positioning of any of the “Grahas”. Guru is the Lord of the Devas and is associated with wisdom, purity of thought, word and deed. Fortunate beings are those who have Lord Sukra strong in their horoscope. Sukra is proficient in all the Sastras. He can even bring the dead back to life. Sanaischara, Rahu and Kethu are all beneficial “Grahas”.
