There are some "Navagraha-Mantra" at the site of hubpages (to find them just type with quotations at google "Navagraha Mantra for removing Obstacles in Life"), but where can I get ther meanings ?

Namaste sarjil,

Navgraha mantra are mantra to remove obstacles and find peace in life. There are 9 stanzas dedicated to 9 entities. Following is the translation.

all sins, the enemy of darkness, of great
brilliance, the descendent of Kaashyapa, the

or a white shell, who arose from the ocean
of milk, who has a hare on him, Soma, who
