Sri Durgai  Chithar

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

( If possible   daily pray  

Lord Surya  on Sundays in the mornings

Lord moon on Mondays  at night(specially on full mmon)

Lord Mars on Tuesdays   between 9 am to noon as well as dawn and dusk,

Lord Budha  on Wednesday  early morning

Lord  Guru   on Thursdays before sunrise  in Brahma Muhurtha,

lOrds Shukra  on  Fridays between 9 am to 12 noon as well as dawn and dusk

Rahu in the evenings and Ardha Jama

And Kethu  between 9 am to noon, dawn and dusk,

To pray all planets together  mornings are the best

Sidhas  say that the prayer to planets should be done first before regular  prayers

Prayer to Rahu can be done   any day , but after chanting prayers of planet of the day.

  The nine planets are very kind  and would bless all those who pray them.)
