Navagrahams & Their effects on us

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dear Raama BhakthAs :

 

Many times , people facing difficulties of different kinds think

that their sufferings is caused by dhOshams associated with

the specific movement or positions of one or more of the Nava Grahams

and perform Navagraha Poojaa to get relief or mitigation .

 

One who has surrenderd unconditionally does not perform

these worship of Navagrahams and place full trust in the Lord's

ability to protect him from all kinds of calamities . They recognize

that the Lord is the indweller and empowerer of these Nava Grahams

and the other Gods and refuse to stand before them with hands folded

in supplication fro relief .While the Supreme Master , Sriman NaarAyaNan

can give anything and everything as Sarva Swamy , the Prapannaas

wonder why anyone would or should pray to the Nava Grahams or

other servants of The Lord . Their attitude based on their MahA ViswAsam

is " NaaL yenna seyyum , kOLL yenna Seyyum , ThirunAraNan arL

irukkum pOthu ? " ( What harm can the nakshathrams , grahams and

Naazhikai do to You , while the Lord is on your side ? ).

 

Saint ThyyagarAja expresses these thoughts in the morning raagam of

Revagupthi : Graha BahalamEmi :

 

Pallavi:

 

Graha BhalamEmi SrirAmaanugraha BhalamE Bhalam

 

Anupallavi:

 

Graha BhalamEmi tEjomaya vigrahamanu dhyAninchu vaariki

navagraha BhalamEmi ?

 

CharaNam :

 

GrahapeeDala pancha paapamulanAgrahamulu gala

kAmAdhiripula nigrahamu jEyu Harini bhajimchu

ThyagarAjuniki , rasikAgrEsarulaku ( Graha BhalamEmi )

 

Here Saint ThyagarAja instructs us : What can the nava grahams

do ? What power they have over us , when Lord RaamachandrA's

power is the dominant one over them ? Lord Raamabhadran's

anugraham is THE REAL STRENGHT that matters in warding off all

asubhams and amangaLams. What harm can the planets do to

those who engage in the dhyAnam of the resplendent form of

our Lord SitApathy ? Nothing . For discerning Raama BhakthAs

like ThyAgarAja , who are immersed in the aarAdhanam of

Hari , what can the power of nava grahams do ? The RamachandrAvatharan ,

Lord Hari is the power that destroys ALL the ill effects of nava grahams

and that is the power eliminates the cancerous enemies like desire,

attachment and the five great sins .

Dear Sriman Sadagopan Swami,

 

in suprabhAtam, Sri P B aNNan says in this context:

 

sUryEndu bhouma budha vAkpati kAvya souri

svarbhAnu kEtu divishat parishat pradhAnA:

tvaddAsa dAsa charamAvadhi dAsa dAsA:

SrIvEnkatAchalapatE! tava suprabhAtam

 

Sun, son of Sun (saturn), moon and other big fellows of the sky, are

actually Your servants' servants' .......... servants. Will servants

ever do any harm to their master? No. So, prapannas can continue to

keep complete faith in SrImannArAyaNa irrespective of whatever their

jAtaka chakram says.
