What is Navgraha
Shanti Puja? The nine"grahas"
or planets in our horoscope control our karma, our desires and their
outcomes. Each of these nine planets exerts an influence in our
lives, which is called "dasa" and it can be known from
one's horoscope. Navagraha Shanti Puja is undertaken to reduce the
negative effects and improve the positive energies related to a
person.
Why pray for Navgraha
Shanti? The nine planets have special kshetras ( place
of worship ) in South India. Most of them are concentrated near the
Thanjavur district. Navagraha puja will be helpful, when the
concerned planet dasa or sub-dasa is in operation or if the planet
is associated with malefics or is in the 3rd, 6th, 8th, or 12th
house.
