Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 Jai Srimannarayana Ramaswamyji! Sri Vaishnava never considers Nava grahas as moorthies to be worshiped. He respects them, and there is no doubt about that. But he never worships them. He worships only Srimannarayana for all his requirements and that is all. Nava Grahas serve to Lord Narayana always. And they take the dust of the Srivaishnava devotees to their head. Then how come a Vaishnava worships them? He respects them. Here is something interesting for you. Nava Grahas are controlled by the Lord Narayana only. Each of these grahas are having one incornation of Lord as their in-dweller. So if one worships that avathara, the particular graha santhi is done. Here are the details: Surya = Rama Incarnation , so you can worship in any Rama temple for that santhi. chendra = Krishna is indweller, so you can offer your pujas to Krishna in any temple. Kuja = Nrusimha incarnation, you can offer your prayers there. buddha = Kalki is indweller, you can worship Lord Venkateswara in His temple, Kalow Venkatanayakaha, right? Bruhaspathi = Sri Vamana incarnation, you can choose a Vamana's temple. Sukra = Parasurama incarnation is indweller. There is no such temple for Him. So you can just worship Lakshmi. Sani = Kurma Incarnation. You have only one temple in Andhra Pradesh in Srikakulam Dist., Srikurmam is the place. Rahu = Varaha incarnation, You can have the pujas there with Him. Kethu = Mathsya incarnation. You can worship Him for that santhi. We are sure you understand this system. =chinnajeeyar= Jay Ramaswamy [jramaswamy] Friday, March 08, 2002 9:04 PM Srirangasri Vaishnava Navagraha sthalam Dear members, I would like to know what are the Srivaishnava Navagrahasthlangal in the 108 Divya Desams ?

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 Jai Sriman nArAyanA! Sri Vedanta Desika has written Dasa:vatha:ra stotram which is usually recommended for nava graha preeti. Some of Srivaishnava bha:gavatha:s recite this stotram. This stotram has 13 verses. The text is available on web in Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada and Tamil languages in pdf format.
