Let's talk about Mantras: Navagraha Pida

Powerful prayer to mitigate planetary karma.

This prayer helps the chanter to get rid of troubles caused by each planet. Though it is extremely beneficial to chant the entire prayer, the corresponding stanza for the concerned planet which is causing problems can also be chanted separately.

The mantra is:
