Botanical Plants as Navgraha And Navagraha Stotram

Peepul tree as Jupiter or Brahaspathi

As mentioned earlier here is a write up on the

Botanical plants for navagrha and their effects,

on humans.

Sacred Herbs

Arka Plant / Milkweed Plant (Sun)

"Arka Bhasma" is used in the talisman that is

made for maintaining the effects of the

placement of Sun in the horoscope. If Arka

Bhasma is used when the Sun is placed well in

the horoscope, it leads to dignity, leadership,

confidence, power and nobility. The individual is

a strong, compassionate, pious, well read and leads a happy life.

When the Sun is ill placed in the horoscope, it leads to low self esteem and

energy, lack of confidence and negative results in life. Arka Bhasma nullifies

the malefic effects of the ill placement of Sun.

Palasha Plant / Flame-of-the-forest Tree (Moon)

"Palasha Bhasma" is used for maintaining

the effects of Moon on the horoscope. If

the Moon is well placed in the horoscope,

the use of "Palasha Bhasma" leads to

good habits, stable life and health and the

individual is hard working, wealthy and

well respected.

used by the individual, he has a long life, is charitable and proficient in every

work.

If Saturn is ill placed in the horoscope, the individual suffers from depression,

anxiety, fear, loneliness and disorders of the nervous system. "Shami

Bhasma" is used for removing these bad effects of Saturn.

Khadira/Couch Plant (Mars)

"Khadira Bhasma" is used for controlling

the effects of the planet Mars. If Mars is

well placed in the horoscope, it leads

towards positive energy, strength,

courage, passion, and aggression. The

use of "Khadira Bhasma" makes the

individual energetic, learned, well known

and noble.

When Mars is ill-placed in the horoscope, it leads to anger, irritability,

instability, aggression and the individual is prone to high blood pressure,

anemia, and impurities in the blood. The "Khadira Bhasma" is used to

counteract these bad effects of Mars.

As mentioned the above plants are planted outside the temple garden, the

plant which represents Sun will be in the middle and the other plants planted

on the four sides of the Arka milky plant.

Brahmanda Guruji Shri Narendra Babu Sharmaji gave us the information on Nine Planets (Navagrahas) and plant/tree related to it. Guruji recited this

Navagraha mantra before starting this topic "Om Namah Suryaya Chandraya Mangalaya Budhayacha Guru Shukra Shanibhyascha Rahuve ketuve Namah"

Here is the table on it:
