Navagraha Yantra

Navagraha Yantra is a sacred geometric diagram or symbol that represents the nine celestial bodies or planets in Hindu astrology, known as the Navagrahas. These nine planets are Sun (Surya), Moon (Chandra), Mars (Mangala), Mercury (Budha), Jupiter (Guru), Venus (Shukra), Saturn (Shani), Rahu (the ascending lunar node), and Ketu (the descending lunar node).

The Navagraha Yantra is believed to have the power to neutralize the negative effects of planets and enhance the positive influences of these celestial bodies in a person’s life. It is often used as a remedial tool in Vedic astrology to mitigate the malefic effects of planets or to strengthen the beneficial influences of planets.

Each planet in the Navagraha Yantra is associated with a specific geometric pattern and mantra. The yantra is typically inscribed or engraved on a metal plate or drawn on a piece of paper. It is worshipped and activated through specific rituals and ceremonies to harness the positive energies of the planets.

Here are the basic details of the Navagraha Yantra:

1. Sun (Surya): Associated with a central point surrounded by a circle.
2. Moon (Chandra): Represented by two intersecting triangles forming a hexagon.
3. Mars (Mangala): Depicted by a triangle.
4. Mercury (Budha): Symbolized by a square.
5. Jupiter (Guru): Portrayed by a crescent moon shape.
6. Venus (Shukra): Presented by a rhombus or diamond shape.
7. Saturn (Shani): Represented by an elongated rectangle.
8. Rahu: Associated with a serpent-like symbol.

The Navagraha Yantra is believed to bring harmony, prosperity, and overall well-being to individuals. It is often worshipped in temples and homes, especially during times of planetary afflictions or significant life events such as marriage, childbirth, or career changes. It is important to note that consulting with a qualified astrologer is advisable for personalized guidance on how to use the Navagraha Yantra effectively.
