Navagraha Homam is performed to ensure that you always derive maximum advantage from the planets. The Navgraha Homam performed with faith wards off all malefic planetary influences. The Navagraha Homam is performed to remove all obstacles in life and attain 'Ayur, Arogya and Saukhyam' (longevity, health and happiness).This Homam is important because these nine “grahas” play a remarkable role in a person’s horoscope. They control his/her desires, karmas and their outcomes. The homam helps in reducing the negative effects (dasha) of the planets thus improving the positive energies related to a person. Hence, the Navagraha Homam delights the nine planets playing a vital role in deciding and directing a person’s lifetime.
