Navagraha Puja Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple

At Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Navagraha Puja is a sacred rite. Health, finances, employment, relationships, and spiritual development are all impacted by these planets. This puja increases positive energy from the planets and decreases negative effects, or doshas. For every planet, priests recite Vedic mantras, perform homams, and offer abhishekam. The Navagraha Stotra is also recited by them. Devotees are blessed by Lord Lakshmi Narasimha, who also expels bad karma. He brings growth and serenity. During difficult planetary times or dasha transitions, this puja is highly helpful. Devotees think it provides prosperity, serenity, and spiritual power, as well as balance and the removal of troubles.

The Navagraha Puja at Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple begins with a purification bath by devotees, followed by wearing clean traditional clothes. The ritual starts with Ganapathi Puja to remove obstacles and a Sankalpam, where the devotee states their purpose for performing the puja. The priests then perform individual archana and abhishekam to the Navagraha deities – Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Budha, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu, and Ketu – using water, milk, curd, honey, coconut water, and sandalwood paste. Each planet is worshipped with specific mantras, flowers, and naivedyam (offerings). After this, a Navagraha Homam is conducted with Vedic chanting, offering nine types of grains into the fire, each representing a planet. The puja concludes with Deepa Aradhana, prasadam distribution, and blessings. Devotees are advised to sit silently and absorb the vibrations. Performing this vidhi with faith is believed to pacify planetary doshas and bring positive transformation in life.
