Nava Graha Ashtotharam

Nava Graha Ashtotharam

Translated  by
P.R.Ramachander

(According to  Hindu beliefs, apart from the seven major planets , there are two half planets   which are always 180  degrees (opposite to each other) away and rotate  in the anti clock wise directions.  The Hindus who  had done remarkable  scientific  work in Astronomy , had chalked out   the position of the seven major planets   accurately ., just by observing them with naked eye.  We can understand how difficult it would be because   the entire work has to be done   at night for several generations  to get accurate results Their almanacs are even today comparable to the latest almanacs  of astronomers.
     Hindus believed   that these planets(all the nine of them keep on moving )  influence  every being on the earth  based  on the position of those planets and the time of birth of the individual being based on the local time of sun rise.  A horoscope detailing   the  broad position of planets (Rasi chakra with thirty degree accuracy) and Navamsa chakra (with three and one third degree accuracy  is prepared   and   these form the basis for prediction of the present and future  events of an individual .  When they find that  a position of planet influences an individual   in a negative way, that planet or the God attached to it is worshipped  to get solace .With a country with millions of people  not having horoscopes, astrologers  were confronted  with problems in a person’s life  , recommended that they worship all the planets.This is not an easy job as each planet has to be worshipped chanting its 108 names. Possibly realizing this  problem our ancestors also have a 108 manthra worship of  all the planets , with 12  names worship   for each of them. This is an extremely rare ashtothara  which I found in a dilapidated Tamil book and I could not find it online. I am sure that people facing problems can worship all the planets  by this ashtotharam and get their problems  solved.)
