    Navagraha Mantra

    Vanakkam,

    i have hear and sing Navagraha Mantra :

    Namah Suryaya Candraya Mangalaya Budaya Ca Guru Sukra Shani Byah sca Graha Ve ke ta ve Namah

    ( i dont know maybe i have spelling eror, because i cant find the text, only from hearing )

    what is the meaning of "Ve ke ta ve" ?

    This mantra is from which text ? or from Rishis ?

    What is the knowledge behind this mantra ?

    Thank you

    Let me see if I can assist...

    you write,
    what is the meaning of "Ve ke ta ve"
    With this 've' it would be attached to the end of rāhu , as
    it seems that has been left off in the mantra you offer; rāhu+ve = rāhave some may write rāhavey or rāhavay or rāhave.
    And ke ta ve is ka+ta+ve or ketu.

    Hence written ( without sanskrit to transliteration format) it would look something like this:
    namah sooryaya chandraya
    mangalaya budhayacha
    guru shukra shani bruhas cha
    raahave ketave namaha ||

    praām

    Thank you Yajvan Ji,

    i make mistake, that not byah, but brhas ( Brhaspati ) , so Jupiter called twice, Guru and Brhaspati ? Then the mantra continued with " And so Rahu and Ketu ".

    Thank you

    There is no doubt that jupiter is addressed as guru and also as bṛhaspati. Yet too we find in this mantra śani and śukra . We can easily say śani-ācārya¹ and śukrācārya. We then have them falling under the auspices of the term 'guru'.


    In this case then, the mantra we have reviewed in posts 1 & 2 is calling out the guru's śukrācārya, śani-ācārya and bṛhaspati.

    Namaste.

    There's a beautiful Mantra that I have been listening to all week and I thought I would share it all, hoping it may inspire:
