‘Nava’ means nine and ‘Graha’ signifies planetary energy or force. A navgraha pooja (Shanti Path) is a ritual done to harness the energies of the nine planetary forces. According to Vedic Astrology, nine planets heavily influence our lives and actions. The placement of the planets at the time of birth affects the lives and situations that one faces. The pooja is a worship of the Gods who rule over each planet; Lord Shiva and Agni rule over Sun, Brahma and Indra rules Jupiter, and Yam (God of Death) and Prajapati govern Saturn.
Importance of Navgraha Pooja
The improper planetary positions of the planets in our birth charts/natal charts/kundalini negatively influence our lives. In Sanskrit terms, this is known as doshas or arista, or asubha yoga. Navgraha doshas can cause depression and low moods, bad results in exams, and losses in business. And also overall poor life experiences that can have lifelong repercussions. Depending on the positions of the planets, the nature and duration of bad times will vary. But a navgraha pooja by a genuine, expert astrologer can mitigate the harsh effects of the evils. It is also crucial to understand the particularities of planets to ensure proper remedy.
