Navagraha Mantras — Beeja Mantras for All Nine Planets

In Vedic astrology, each of the nine planets (Navagrahas) has a beeja mantra (seed sound) that vibrates at the planetary frequency. Regular recitation of these mantras is believed to strengthen a weak planet in your birth chart, reduce the effects of a malefic transit, or deepen your relationship with the planet's positive qualities. Here are the beeja mantras for all nine Navagrahas with their benefits and recommended practice.

How to Use Beeja Mantras

Before diving into the mantras, a few key practices:

• Sit in a clean, quiet space facing east or north
• Light a ghee lamp or incense appropriate to the planet
• Recite the mantra in multiples of 108 (one mala) or in the shorter counts listed below
• The best day for each planet's mantra corresponds to its ruling day
• Morning (within 2 hours of sunrise) is the most effective time
