Navagrahas ,The Nine Planets of Hinduism play a vital part in a Hindu’s Life.
As soon as a child is born, the time and place of birth is noted.
After the first birthday , the horoscope is cast.
At every stage the horoscope is consulted and suitable course action is taken by the individual.
Horoscopes of the Boy and Girl are matched before getting them married.
There is an essential difference between the Shiva and Vishnu Temples in Tamil Nadu.
The Vishnu Temples do not have Navagraha Sannidhis or Enclosure.
In Shiva Temples separate Sannidhis are provided.
( Sannidhi means ‘being present)
However three are exceptions where Navagrahas are provided with Sannidhis in Vishnu Temples, where local legends have a say.
The Vaishnavism believes that since on surrenders before the Supreme God, Vishnu, there is no necessity of any special attention to the Navagrahas.
Saivites takea practcal approach by saying that even if you know the CE)/MD of an Organisation, lower staff do matter.
Hence Sannidhis for Navagrahas.
Moon is taken as a Planet.
On the effect of Navgrahas.
Navagrahas, on their own,can not harm any one.
They are like Traffic Signals which inform you of things lying ahead and the suggested course.
They indicate the effects of your actions.
Not prevent it.
God can grant you the power to withstand the malicious effects,can not change them
The reason for performing the Parihara, Atonement, is nothing but a Prayer to the God/Navagrahas to grant you Fortitude.
Though I believe in the accuracy of Indian Astrology which is more of scientific Astronomy, I do not bother about the Planets.
My conviction is my faith in Goddess Abirami, who, I trust implicitly, would take care of me.
An till date , she has.
Astrology depends on accurate Time,to 60 divisions of a second.
And I do not think we have such perfect time sense.
The Astrologer whom we consult may not be well versed, or may not speak the Truth for his/her own reasons,
