Planetary Worship

Planets may be worshipped via fire ceremonies, by wearing appropriate gemstones or clothing, by offerings items (incense, flowers, coconuts, light…), or by reciting/listening to the mantra for the planet. An offering to a specific planet helps to increase the qualities of that planet in your life. For example, a pooja for the Sun can invoke positive influence in aspects such as public recognition, power, personal appearance... This respectful, gracious act gains favor from the planet and invokes its blessing. Reciting planetary mantras can increase the positive energy of a planet, neutralize any negative influence, and enable you to connect to the planet's energy. Once you have connected to the energy, hopefully certain aspects of your life will fall into place, you will feel happy in your job whether you work in a casino or in a supermarket. Your family life will run more smoothly and you will generally feel better in yourself. All of the following helps alleviate karma and act as an agent for peace.
