NAMOKĀRA MANTRA CHANTING FOR PACIFYING
THE NINE PLANETS (ASTROLOGICAL ) According to the mantra texts the prescribed procedure for pacifying a planet is to meditate and chant the mantra with visualization of the colour associated with that planet. The best way to remove the illeffects of all the nine planets is to chant the five lines of the namokāra mantra.
Try to understand the relationship between the colours associated with the nine planets and the namokāra mantra as detailed in the illustration :
1. The colour of the Moon and Venus is white. To pacify these visualize white colour and repeat 1000 times the mantra-Om hrim namo arihantānam.
2. The colour of the Sun and Mars is red. To pacify these visualize red colour and repeat 1000 times the mantra-Om hrī namo siddhānam.
3. The colour of Jupiter is yellow. To pacify this visualize yellow colour and repeat 1000 times the mantra-Om hrim namo āyariyāna”.
4. The colour of Mercury is yellow. To pacify this visualize yellow colour and repeat 1000 times the mantra-Om hrīm namo uvajjhāyānam.
5. The colour of Saturn, Rahu (Dragon's head) and Ketu (Dragon's tail) (Rahu and Ketu are symbolic representations of discordant positions of the Sun and the Moon in association with the Earth) is black. To pacify these visualize black colour and repeat 1000 times the mantra-Om hrin namo loe savva sāhūnam.
More details about the mantras and chanting for the planets is given in appendix.
