We all face obstacles in various aspects of life. Financial struggles, health issues, relationship problems, career setbacks – these challenges can leave us feeling stuck and uncertain of how to move forward. Yet Hindu astrology and mantra traditions offer a profound pathway for removing the blocks we encounter on our journey.
Specifically, navagraha mantras – the sacred chants associated with the 9 planets – hold remarkable power to help clear the path ahead.
Many Vedic astrologers having over 15 years of experience with jyotish, yantra, mantra and tantra, witnessed the incredible potency carried in navagraha mantras for transforming every facet of life. By placating the planets through devoted mantra sadhana, it open the doors to prosperity, happiness and fulfillment in relationships, work and all endeavors.
What Gives Navagraha Mantras Their Power?
To understand the tremendous benefits offered by navagraha mantras, we must first comprehend a bit about these 9 cosmic bodies called navagrahas in jyotish (Vedic astrology). The Sanskrit word “graha” refers to anything that “seizes” or impacts us.
So these planets deeply influence the affairs of our world both externally in global events as well as internally shaping our minds, actions and thus destiny.
The 9 Grahas as per Hindu Scripture are:
- Surya – The Sun
- Chandra – The Moon
- Mangal – Mars
- Budh – Mercury
- Guru – Jupiter
- Shukra – Venus
- Shani – Saturn
- Rahu
- Ketu
So while the navagrahas deliver both pleasant and unpleasant results in our natal charts, their effects can be carefully modified through targeted mantras. By chanting these sacred syllables awakening the planets’ benevolent qualities, we attract better outcomes around relationships, work, finances, education, family, health and beyond.
The Most Powerful Navagraha Mantra for Removing Life’s Obstacles
There are certainly mantras uniquely intended to propitiate each navagraha planet for specific areas of life. However one incredibly powerful all-purpose navagraha mantra for clearing obstacles while harmonizing planetary energies is:
ॐ नमः सूर्याय चन्द्राय मंगलाय बुधाय बृहस्पतये शुक्राय शनैश्चराय राहवे केतवे नमः॥
oṃ namaḥ sūryāya candrāya maṅgalāya budhāya bṛhaspataye śukrāya śanaiścarāya rāhave ketave namaḥ॥“Om Namo Suryay Chandray Manglay Budhay Bruhaspatay Shukray Shanishcharay Rahave Ketave Namah”
This translates to:
Salutations to the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.
It is a simple yet immensely formidable mantra for activating all 9 planetary energies to open the right passageways for our success. Just as police may clear traffic on all roads for VIP access, this maha mantra signals the grahas to remove all obstacles on our life path and get fruitful results in every age without any conflict.

How to Practice This Navagraha Mantra Sadhana
To enjoy the full boons of the above navagraha mantra (or any graha mantra), proper chanting and discipline is necessary. Here are some key recommendations which you should follow:
- Chant early morning after bath facing east when planetary energies are visibly activated
- Establish a set number of repetitions per day (e.g. 9, 27, 54 or 108 cycles)
- Chant clearly aloud with shraddha (pure-hearted faith) avoiding distraction
- Use a mala (japa beads) to count mantra cycles without break
- When obstacles arise, increase daily mantra chanting for faster relief
Additionally, pairing mantras with graha-related puja rituals, fasting days, gemstones, colors and more can amplify the results manifold. You can also consult with an experienced astrologer to know more about what planet is in favor and what planet is against. So to nullify the bad effect of a weak planet, start chanting the mantra for 108 times daily.
For an example: If an astrologer tells that the graha dasha of shani is not in your favour then in that case you have to chant Shani beej mantra daily and read the Shani Chalisa on each Saturday. Similarly if Surya is down in your horoscope then to give it strength start chanting Surya Beej Mantra daily in front of Surya or Surya Yantra.
