The study of celestial bodies or Hindu astrology believes that the 9 planets (Navagraha) influence human affairs and determine the course of life. To mitigate afflictions caused due to ill-placed planets as shown in the birth chart or horoscope, learned astrologers often suggest Navgrah yantras which contains the energy if all 9 planets.
These yantras are based on sacred Hindu geometry (shapes and diagrams) that represents the 9 planets and helps improve planetary effects through dedicated worship and placement at home or office as per prescribed directions.
What is a Navgrah Yantra?
A navgrah yantra is nothing but a metal square plate in gold color. On this plate, 9 boxes are created and on each box a table of 3×3 (filled with some numbers) is printed with diagram like arrow, flag, shape, triangle etc.
Each box, as they are 9… represent 9 planets – Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangal (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu and Ketu.
Under every box, a beej mantra is written which you can chant daily.
So for how many time you have to chant, this is also mentioned on each and every box. In case, if it is missed then ideal count is 108 times which you can chant daily in morning or evening.
These yantras are prepared based on precise conventions, geometric patterns, shapes, lines, beej mantras that signify the movement and characteristics of each planet. They channelize cosmic energies to dispel negative planetary effects (dosha or curses) and confer fortune and good luck upon worship.
People following Hindu astrology commonly employ energized Navgraha yantras as remedies for weak, debilitated or ill-placed planets in the birth chart or navamsha chart. These yantras empowered by rituals help maximize positive outcomes for the occupants while protecting from adversities of life.
Professional astrologers after analyzing the kundli of a person may recommend a suitable Navgraha yantra to strengthen that particular planet and get relief from troubles.
For example, Shani yantra may be advised for people under the mahadasha or antardasha of planet Saturn to mitigate hardships, losses, disputes and delays caused by this planet of karma. There are specific beej mantras associated with each Navgraha.
