Navagraha, the nine planets in Hindu Astrology affect every aspect of human life. Navagrahas fall under the the Hindu Astronomy and play a major part in the Hindu astronomical sphere. The Hindu astronomy whose origin dates back to the time of Vedas is concerned with the placement of nine planets and their influence on the world and on an individual. According to the Hindu astrology, the position of the planets when a person is born determines his potential in life.

The nine planets collectively are called Navagrahas. These 9 planets are worshipped by Hindus to overcome any hindrance, obstacle or bad luck. They are found mostly in all the temples and faithful believers pray to the Navagrahas before they pray to any other deity. Unfavorable positioning of these planets may cause inconvenience and disturbance in our lives. Regular chanting of Navagraha Mantras creates positive vibrations and influences the related planets to give favorable results.

Navagraha mantras are to be chanted on the days related to their respective planet lords. For example, Surya Mantra is to be recited on Sundays, Chandra or Soma Mantra is to be recited on Mondays and so on. Chanting of Navagraha Mantras increases their positive effects and minimize their harmful consequences.
