Origin & Story

The Vedic Navagraha mantra of Venus (Shukra) · Traditional (Vedic Jyotish)

In Vedic astrology (jyotish) the nine grahas shape the course of life, and each has its own mantra for blessing and remedy. "Om Shum Shukraya Namah" is the mantra of Venus (Shukra), which governs love, marriage, beauty, comforts, luxury, art and relationships. When the planet is weak or malefic in the horoscope, sages prescribed chanting its mantra — together with charity, fasting on its day (Friday), worship of its deity and its gemstone (Diamond (Heera)) — to strengthen its grace and soften its difficulties.
