Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Which Navgraha mantra should I chant?
Chant the mantra of the planet causing problems in your current planetary period (dasha or antardasha). If you don't know your dasha, chant the mantra of the planet that is weak, debilitated, or afflicted in your birth chart. For general wellbeing, the Sun mantra (Gayatri Mantra) or chanting all 9 in sequence works for everyone.
Q.How many times should Navgraha mantras be chanted?
The classical count varies: Sun = 7,000, Moon = 11,000, Mars = 10,000, Mercury = 9,000, Jupiter = 19,000, Venus = 16,000, Saturn = 23,000, Rahu = 18,000, Ketu = 17,000 (total for a Purashcharan). For daily practice, 108 times on each planet's designated day is sufficient.
Q.Can I chant all 9 Navgraha mantras daily?
Yes. A daily Navagraha sequence — chanting each planet's mantra 9 times in order from Sun to Ketu (total 81 chants) — takes about 10-15 minutes and creates comprehensive planetary harmony. For specific problems, focus on the relevant planet's mantra at 108 repetitions on its day.
