The Navagraha pooja, which combines the poojas for each of the nine planets (or grahas) in our vedic sciences, is a time-honored Vedic rite. All doshas (or defects) in one’s horoscope can be nullified or removed by the Navagraha Shanti Pooja, allowing the individual to succeed in life. Any given graha’s Navagraha Pooja or Navagraha Shanti Puja creates an environment that helps people find the confidence and strength they need to deal with challenges in their lives.

The entire life and all its facets whether happiness, grief, loss-benefit, victory-defeats etc. are influenced by the planetary movements. The reason being the planets constantly move through the 27 ‘nakshatras’ and 12 zodiac signs, which is responsible for the change in seasons, year, month and day-night. When these planets dwell into favorable nakshatras and zodiac it brings happiness while there dwelling in an adverse spots, results into sorrow.

In adversity and compatibility, the planets alert us. Hostile planets are the signposts of adversaries while the affable planets signify auspicious times.

The effect of adverse and unfavorable planet should be avoided by the prescribed astrological methods like Navagraha Pooja. Contrary to the above fact when the planets are compatible, they deliver major benefits. In such condition it is the measure of degrees that is directly related to the generated effects. If there is a favorable planet in lower degrees, then to increase its effectiveness and to reduce the effect of adverse planet astrological measures could be taken.

Hence in line with the fact that some planets can be virtuous while other can be sinful at times, astrological solutions are drafted.
