Navagraha Beej Mantras: The 9 Planetary Mantras & Their Benefits
Navagraha Beej Mantras: The 9 Planetary Mantras & Their Benefits
by Divine Hindu Team
TL;DR — The Navagraha Beej Mantras are nine short seed-syllable mantras, one for each of the nine planets (Navagraha). Chanting a planet’s beej mantra 108 times on its day strengthens or pacifies that planet — the simplest, safest remedy anyone can do, with or without a gemstone. Use a rudraksha mala to keep count. Below is the full table of all nine mantras with their day, plus the matching gemstone and dosha remedy for each.
Before reaching for a gemstone, the gentlest planetary remedy is sound. The beej (seed) mantras of the Navagraha distil each planet’s energy into a short chant that anyone can do at home — no chart permission, no cost, no risk. This guide from our Jayanagar desk gives you all nine, with their days and the matching gemstone and remedy for each planet.

How to chant a beej mantra
- Choose the planet you want to strengthen or pacify (often based on your chart or current dasha).
- Chant 108 times on that planet’s day, using a rudraksha mala to keep count.
- Best time: early morning, after a bath, facing east, on a clean mat.
- Be consistent: a daily or weekly habit over time works far better than an occasional burst.
Beej mantras are the safe first step: unlike a powerful gemstone such as Neelam, a mantra has no contraindication. Many people chant the mantra first and add the gemstone later if their chart calls for it.

What are the Navagraha Beej Mantras?
The Navagraha Beej Mantras are nine short seed-syllable mantras, one for each of the nine planets: the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. Each distils its planet’s energy into a brief chant, such as Om Praam Preem Praum Sah Shanaischaraya Namah for Saturn. Chanting a planet’s beej mantra 108 times on its day strengthens or pacifies that planet. They are the simplest and safest planetary remedy, requiring no gemstone or chart permission, and are best chanted using a rudraksha mala.
How do I chant a planetary beej mantra?
Choose the planet you wish to strengthen or pacify, then chant its beej mantra 108 times on that planet’s day — for example the Mars mantra on Tuesday or the Saturn mantra on Saturday — using a rudraksha mala to keep count. The best time is early morning after a bath, sitting on a clean mat facing east. Consistency, as a daily or weekly habit, is more important than an occasional long session. Beej mantras have no contraindications, so anyone can chant them safely.
Should I chant a mantra or wear a gemstone for a planet?
Beej mantras are the safe first step because, unlike a powerful gemstone such as Blue Sapphire, a mantra has no contraindication and can be chanted by anyone. Many people begin by chanting the planet’s beej mantra and add the matching certified gemstone later if their chart specifically calls for it. For a targeted, chart-based remedy a prescribed gemstone is more focused, while for general, risk-free support the beej mantra is ideal. The two can also be used together.
