#NavaGrahas🙏🙏🙏
are not mere planets in the solar system. They are Devatas with a divine background. If only one can go through the meaning of slokas in Navagraha stotra, one can understand the divinity behind them. ++

One should not ignore worshipping Navagrahas. They should also be worshipped along with other Parivara DEvatas like Ganapati-Subramanya, always with proper anusandhana/Taratamya...
#BharatiRamanaMukhyaPraanaAntargatha-#HariSarvottama;

A planet or a Graha is a celestial body that has substantial influence on the living beings on earth. Nava Grahas play an important role in human life. Navagrahas are the pivot around which the concept of astrology rotates. +++

Each Graha has a specific role & signification; They are representatives of Primordial Supreme God Vishnu. They are Universe's agents of Law of Karma.

Navagraha worship/aradhana is prevalent since time immemorial followed by our elders & described in various sacred texts.

Nearest example of Navagraha worship, one can find in Sri Sathyanarayana Swamy vratha one of the most popular, auspicious and highly meritorious austerities wherein, it becomes a part of the ritual without which the Vratha is incomplete. ++

Best reference 2 Navagrahas one can get from Navagraha Stotra composed by Sri VyasaBhagavanta (Sri Vedavyasaru)

Phalastuti says that those who read with all sincerity, devotion & faith this sacred hymn will be able 2 succeed in appeasing obstacles occurring by day/night. ++

Bad dreams of men/women/kings alike will be destroyed, be endowed with unparalleled riches, good health & enhancing nourishment. All D pain, devastation caused by fire, planets & stars will be of past. It's certain there's no doubt about it, said Sri VedaVyAsaru emphatically. +

While Sun (Ravi) is known as Graha Raja (King of Navagrahas), Saturn (Shani) attains lot of significance and highest popularity among the Navagrahas and is the most fascinating planet.
