We always chant “Om Shram Shreem Shroum Sah Chandraya Namah” Chandra Beej Mantra while performing Havan as it is one of the Navagraha mantras. On the sound of Swaaha! when we chant it, we offer a Navagraha stick made for the Moon planet in the fire of Havan Kund.
But which Navagraha Chandra Samidha stick we offer? Let’s find out so you can make your havan successful.
It is believed that if you offer a specific Navagraha Samidha related to the planet in the fire pit, you remove the graha dosha and bring good luck in your life.
When you shop for Pujan Samagri from pansaari shop and you buy a Navagraha Samidha then you can see it is a bundle of 9 sticks which represents the 9 planets named Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Brihaspati, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu. Among them 1 stick which is for Chandra is offered when Pandit ji chants ॐ श्रां श्रीं श्रौं सः चंद्राय नमः ॥ and says Swaaha!
Upon chanting Chandra Beej Mantra, the stick of Palash / (Khakhra) (पलाश समिधा का प्रयोग किया जाता है ) is offered in the Agni Kund.
This mantra is chanted with devotion and reverence to seek blessings from Lord Chandra, who is believed to bestow emotional balance, intuition, and mental clarity upon the devotee. It is often recited during Moon-related rituals, meditation, or as a part of personal spiritual practice.
Please note that performing a Havan and chanting these mantras should be done with the utmost respect and sincerity. If you are not familiar with the process of performing a Havan, it is advisable to seek guidance from a knowledgeable person or a priest to ensure it is done correctly.
