Origin & Story

Vyasa-krita Navagraha Stotram · Sage Veda Vyasa (traditional) · Classical

This stotra, attributed to the sage Vyasa, gives a single luminous verse to each of the nine planets that Hindu astrology holds to govern human destiny — from the hibiscus-red Sun to the snow-white Moon, fiery Mars, gentle Mercury, golden Jupiter, jasmine-bright Venus, collyrium-dark Saturn, and the shadow-planets Rahu and Ketu. Reciting it is among the simplest and most beloved remedies for planetary affliction (graha shanti).

✦ As told in scripture

Vyasa's own closing words promise that whoever recites this stotra with a steady mind, by day or night, has every planetary affliction — and even dangers of thieves and fire — brought to rest; for this reason it is the first recourse of those facing Sade Sati or a difficult planetary period.

The Navagraha Stotram is a classic hymn attributed to the sage Vyasa, with one verse saluting each of the nine planets (navagraha) — the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu — followed by a phalashruti. It is recited to pacify malefic planetary influences and gain the grace of the grahas.

By saluting all nine planets with devotion, it is believed to calm their malefic effects — Sade Sati and Shani, Mangal Dosha, Rahu-Ketu afflictions and the rest. The stotra's own phalashruti promises that obstacles caused by the planets are stilled and health, strength and prosperity increase.

It may be recited daily in the morning for overall planetary harmony, and during any Navagraha puja or graha shanti. For a specific planet, its verse may be repeated on that planet's weekday — for example the Shani verse on Saturday, the Mangal verse on Tuesday.

It is traditionally attributed to the sage Veda Vyasa (the compiler of the Vedas and the Mahabharata), which is why its closing verses say it was 'sung from the mouth of Vyasa' and declare its fruits 'without doubt.'
