But, is it wrong if you say slokams for hanumAn or sani if you are

afflicted by sani (even though in your heart of hearts, you have pledged

allegiance to perumal)?

***********************End Quote**********************

I am reminded of my Grandfathers reasoning that since the NavaGrahas are

at the feet of Shri.Vishnu,praying to them individually would be

superfluous if one prayed to Shriman Narayana.He therefore recommended

us to recite the Dhasavathara stothram in lieu of the Navagraha

Stothram.

By implication ShriVaishnavas were not expected to circumambulate the

navagrahas and seldom(if ever) do the older Kovils have a Navagraha

shrine.

 

I hope this is of some help.
