Beej Mantra for 9 Planets in Astrology

A very small introduction to astrology (jyotish)

Jyotish Shastra (Astrology) is the vision of Vedas. It is one of the vedangas out of six vedangas. According to Hindu Astrology (Jyotish) there are 9 planets, 12 zodiac signs and 27 nakshatras(constellations) and each impacts the life on earth, on humans and on mundane life. Similarly the beej mantra of planets impacts us in positive manner.

Theory of Karma

As per hindu philosophy, we had many birth & life and we keep on taking birth and die again till we merge into the source, the parmatman. We come and go till all the karma cycle goes on. We are into the existence from the beginning and doing karmas. The karmas never end till we get the fruit of them, either bad or good. What we are doing in this life and what karmas are going to be fruitful in this life from the baggage of karmas can be known using Jyotish(Astrology).

Planets and Karmas

In astrology, birth chart or kundali (horoscope) is the blue print of our life we are carrying, which tells about which karmas from the past are going to give fruits in this life and what are the possibilities, deeds we can do in this life. Planets give results according to our own karma but then what is the purpose behind this planetary existence? What is the purpose of astrology if planets (graha) are going to give results only according to our karmas. These karma always give results which cannot be pacified. So how to lessen the suffering from the bad karmas we did in the past? When these planets will give malefic results, how can one rectify the harmful effects from planets? Is there any solution to this? Yes!

We need to increase the positivity to pacify the negativity, It will not be removed but we can do so much positive that positive deeds give more results in comparison to negative. How can we do that?

Seek Blessings – Beej Mantra of Planets

We can pray planets by chanting beej mantra of planets, as they have been given the job to give results and make us pay off the karmas. Lets take an example. When someone is angry on us because of our wrong actions and came to whack us. As he entered our home we welcome him with sweet smile and warmth, respect him and pray him like a child, then that person will not react in that manner and infact will be happy by seeing our love towards him. and it may happen that he will bless us instead of harming us.

Same is with planets, each planet has a deity, so if we pray them, chant their beej mantra (as beej mantra has lot of power inside like seeds), surely planets will help us. Astrological texts says these beej mantra of planets pacify all the harmful effects and will bless in a short period of time when chanted properly with faith. Beej mantra of planets are the most powerful of all mantras thats why the chanting of these are recommended by astrologers and jyotishacharya. Do 108 times at a time using mala or rosary.
