Frequently asked questions

What is the Navagraha Stotra by Vadiraja?

Navagraha Stotra is a five-verse stotra to the nine celestial bodies (navagraha) by Śrī Vādirāja Tīrtha. Each verse addresses a different graha — Sūrya, Candra, Maṅgala, Budha, Bṛhaspati, Śukra, Śani, Rāhu and Ketu — to pacify their astrological influences.

Who composed the Navagraha Stotra?

Navagraha Stotra is attributed to Śrī Vādirāja Tīrtha, the Dvaita philosopher-saint. Unlike the Vedic Navagraha Sūkta, this stotra is a bhakti-era composition that addresses the planets as personal deities rather than cosmic forces.

Why is the Navagraha Stotra recited?

Navagraha Stotra is traditionally recited to pacify adverse planetary positions (doṣa) in one's horoscope. Each verse addresses a specific graha and asks for its benevolent influence — a practice common in both Mādhwa and broader Hindu worship.
