The Vedic tradition views that our health is not just influenced by life on earth, but also the cosmic influences of the planetary positions we are affected by based on our astrological horoscope. The view of traditional systems like Yoga and Āyurveda is that many of our illnesses are dependant on the predispositions we have, which is again based on the strength of each of the nine houses of Astrology.
There are many mantras to honour the nine houses, both individually and as a collective. This chant titled Navagraha-pīḍāhara-stotram is an offering to all of them as a collective. It requests them to pacify the disharmony in each of the nine houses of our astrological chart, so that we are alleviated of the illnesses consequent to these disturbances.
Listen to this chant twice a day, at sunrise and sunset time.
