Can anyone read the Navagraha mantra or are there some people who can’t read it? Are there any restrictions or rules to be followed ? Adityaya Somaya Mangalaya BhudayachaGuru Shukra Shanibhyascha Rahave Ketave Namaha”
It is as simple as that of week days plus the head and tail of snake . Thre is no restriction of any kind for one to utter this couplet at any time of the day or night. Any restrictions are only made to suit someone's convenience . It is believed uttering this chant with a mental focus on idols of Navagraha along with their vahanās & color might diminish or and negate bad or negative karmapalan. "Aarogyam pradhadhu ...."..chant too is of similar nature and believed as efficacious as this one.
