|| Iti Shree Navagraha Ashtottara Shatanaamaavali Sampoornam ||

Meaning

One hundred and eight names spread across all nine grahas, opening with Om Bhaanave Namah — a salutation to Surya, who leads the nine. Unlike a single-deity namavali, this one keeps moving: a run of names for the Sun, then the Moon, then Mangala, and on through Rahu and Ketu. It is the list a priest reads during navagraha archana, one flower or grain of akshate placed at each name.

Significance

A namavali is worship by naming. The point of doing all nine in one sitting is that a horoscope is not one planet — an afflicted Shani sits in a chart next to a strong Guru, and the tradition of navagraha worship is to address the set rather than pick a favourite. Families turn to it before a graha-shanti, at the start of a new mahadasha, during Sade Sati, or simply as the Saturday or Sunday routine at the navagraha sannidhi. Tradition holds that the nine, addressed together and by name, become anukula — favourably disposed — rather than obstructive; the older texts frame the benefit as the softening of graha-peeda and of the fear that comes with it, not as a specific material gain.

How and when to chant

Archana style: say each name and offer a flower, akshate or a pinch of the grain belonging to that graha. The navadhanya set is the traditional accompaniment — wheat for Surya, rice for Chandra, toor dal for Kuja, green gram for Budha, chana dal for Guru, white beans for Shukra, sesame for Shani, urad for Rahu, horse gram for Ketu. Sunday and Saturday are the commonest days, and Amavasya is a standard occasion. A nine-wick lamp before the navagraha panel is usual in temples. At home, a single lamp, a clean seat facing east, and unhurried reading of all 108 names is enough; most people finish in about ten minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shatanamavali and how is it different from a stotra?
A namavali is a list of names in the dative, each prefixed with Om and ending in Namah, meant to be said one at a time while offering something. A stotra is continuous verse, read straight through. The Navagraha Stotram praises the nine in nine shlokas; this namavali salutes them 108 times with 108 separate offerings.
Are the 108 names split evenly among the nine grahas?
No. The distribution is uneven across editions — Surya and the larger grahas usually get more names, Rahu and Ketu fewer. Published versions differ in both wording and count for individual grahas while keeping the total at 108. If you are following a printed book, stay with that one edition rather than mixing.
Which day is best for the Navagraha namavali?
Sunday and Saturday are the usual choices, Saturday especially when Shani is the worry. Amavasya, the start of a new dasha or bhukti, and the day before a graha-shanti homa are also common. Because it covers all nine, no weekday is wrong — pick one and keep it, since regularity matters more than the day.
Do I need the navadhanya grains to do the archana?
No. Akshate — rice mixed with turmeric — or plain flowers work for the whole namavali and are what most households actually use. The nine grains are a fuller form, usually kept for a temple archana or a homa. What the practice needs is one offering per name, not an expensive set of materials.
Can I chant this if I do not know my horoscope?
Yes. The namavali is not tied to a chart reading. It addresses all nine grahas equally, which is exactly why it suits someone who has no jataka or does not follow astrology closely. Knowing your dasha may tell you which graha to give extra attention to, but nothing in the practice requires it.
How long does one round take?
About eight to twelve minutes read at a steady pace with an offering at each name — longer in a temple archana where the priest adds sankalpa and the closing mantra pushpam. Rushing to finish in five minutes defeats the form, since the pause at each name is the practice.
Should Rahu and Ketu be worshipped like the other seven?
Yes, and this namavali does so. They are chhaya grahas — shadow points, not physical bodies — but classical practice counts them among the nine and gives them names, colours and offerings of their own. Leaving them out would break the whole logic of navagraha worship, which is to address the full set.
