Origin & Story

The Vedic Navagraha mantra of the Sun (Surya) · 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 Ghrinih Suryaya Namah" is the mantra of the Sun (Surya), which governs the soul, vitality, health, confidence, authority, government and the father. When the planet is weak or malefic in the horoscope, sages prescribed chanting its mantra — together with charity, fasting on its day (Sunday), worship of its deity and its gemstone (Ruby (Manikya)) — to strengthen its grace and soften its difficulties.

The Mantra

घृणिः सूर्याय नमः

Om Ghrinih Suryaya Namah.
