Navagraha Puja and Homam
There are nine planets in our solar system, and Navagraha Puja and Homam is a powerful ritual dedicated to pleasing them.
Are you dealing with increasing financial losses or facing difficulties finding a better job or increased income source? If yes, then Navgraha Puja can help you with the benefits.
The word Navagraha, according to Indian Vedic astrology, has derived from two words (Nava, which means “Nine,” and Grah, which means “Planets”) which denote the nine celestial bodies that rule the horoscope of every person. Our karma, emotions, desires, and outcomes are shaped by these “grahas,” such as the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn.
As per Hindu mythology, the significance is attached to the position of nine planets in the twelve constellations of the zodiac. Except for Rahu and Ketu, known as the shadows, each Navagrah rules one day of the week.
These nine planets influence a person’s life in both positive and negative ways. It is, however, extremely challenging to get relief from the ill & evil effects of planets. But this challenge can be overcome by performing Navagraha Shanti Homam & Puja by meeting the exact requirements of all the planets.
These exact requirements are fulfilled by the Pandits at SmartPuja. At SmartPuja, we have a team of qualified pandits experienced in Navagrahas and know which mantras to chant at the appropriate times. Devotees can avail of our Navgraha Puja services in different cities, including:
