Origin & Story

Traditional Hindi devotional chalisa · Sundardas · Devotional era

In Vedic astrology (Jyotisha) the nine grahas — the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu — govern the fortunes of every life, and their malefic placements bring the trials known as graha dosha. The Navgrah Chalisa, composed by the poet Sundardas, praises each of the nine planets in turn with their names and powers, and prays for graha shanti — the peace and grace of all nine at once.

✦ As told in scripture

Where a single planet's worship calms one graha, the Navgrah Chalisa is said to win the grace of all nine together — so that one recitation can ease Sade Sati, Manglik dosha and Rahu-Ketu affliction alike. Devotees in a hard dasha light nine lamps before the Navagraha and recite it daily, and report their tangled fortunes slowly turning to peace.

Meaning:Victory to Shri Ketu, remover of hard sorrow — do good and bring auspiciousness to the virtuous. Banner-bearing, of fearsome headless form, dark of dread fierce body; Shikhi, the strong star-planet, of measureless might and splendour.

How to Chant Navgrah Chalisa

Repetitions1times

Best TimeDaily, or on Saturday and Amavasya; during a difficult dasha

FaceEast or facing the Navagraha shrine

After bathing, sit before a Navagraha yantra or the nine-planet shrine and light a lamp (nine lamps if possible). Recite the Navgrah Chalisa with a focused mind, praising each graha in turn — Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu. Offer each planet its traditional colour, flower and grain, and pray for graha shanti (planetary peace). Daily recitation, or every Saturday, is recommended during a hard planetary period.

The Navgrah Chalisa is a Hindi devotional hymn that praises all nine planetary deities (Navagraha) — Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Brihaspati, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu — in turn, and prays for graha shanti, the pacification of malefic planetary influence in one's horoscope.

It is recited as a single, complete remedy for planetary afflictions — Sade Sati, Shani dosha, Rahu-Ketu and Mangal dosha, and weak benefics — to remove obstacles, debts, disease and the hardships of an adverse dasha, and to bring peace, success and steady fortune.

It may be recited daily, and is especially powerful on Saturdays and Amavasya, during Navagraha puja, or through a difficult planetary period (dasha/antardasha). Lighting nine lamps before a Navagraha shrine enhances the worship.

The nine grahas are Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangal (Mars), Budh (Mercury), Brihaspati/Guru (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu and Ketu (the two lunar nodes). In Vedic astrology their placement governs the fortunes of a person's life.
