Navagraha Homam is meant to remove all kinds of problems. Those who perform this Homam will be blessed with “Ayush, Arogya, and Saukhyam,” which means prosperity, health, and happiness.
After the Navagraha puja, the homam is done. For the puja, nine kinds of flowers, nine kinds of cereals (Nava Dhanya), nine kinds of vastrams (fabrics of different colors), and nine kinds of Naivedyams are used. A devotee offers each Graha a different flower. There are nine kinds of Chamatas, which are sticks.
When to perform Navagraha Homam?
The homam is performed to pacify the nine planets: the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. It is a beneficial way to remove the Navagraha Dosha. The planetary positions in the birth chart can bring good or bad luck. By performing the Navagraha homam, you can pacify the Grahas, get rid of Doshas, or lessen their negative effects. You can still receive the benefits of the Navagraham even if the planets are positioned unfavorably in your horoscope. This homam is very helpful and useful because it improves good planets and makes their positive influence stronger, while calming down bad planets and making their negative influence less strong. When you do Navagraha Homam, you ensure the planets always work in your favor. When you perform the Navgraha Homam with faith, it dispels all negative planetary influences.
The Navagraha is crucial to how our lives will go. For those whose birth charts have four or more planets that are not in favorable positions, the Navagraha homam should be done. It is also done when Rahu (the ascending node) and Ketu (the descending node) are sick. If you have Kalathra dosha or Kala Sarpa dosha, you should do Navagraha homam. The dosha should be removed to promote successful marriage proposals and career advancement. Each Graha acts according to the previous life’s karma.
