NAVAGRAHA MANTAP

NAVAGRAHA MANTAP

Navagrahas influence every person's life, from their birth to their death. The position of the nine celestial bodies in the celestial sphere at the time of birth is indicated in ones JANAM KUNDALI. Navagrahas influence depends on the position of the stars, lagna and rasi in relation to the position of the grahas.

The influence can be at times good and other times bad and changes with the transition of the grahas through the celestial sphere. If the grahas are in particular positions in the Janam Kundali, their influence will be positive. The effect will be one or more of the following: good life, good spouse, good friends, good health, good education, good children, respectable position in society etc. If they are in other positions, their influence will not be good. The effect can be one or more of the following: bad life, unhappy marriage, no friends, bad health, not able to obtain good education, unable to attain higher positions inspite of great capabilities, family problems and such.

Hindu scriptures like the Jyothishgranth "Jataka Chintamani" and others state that one can overcome the bad influence arising from the position of grahas in ones JANAM KUNDALI by the worship of Navagrahas and obtaining their blessings.

For such Navagraha worship, we the Hindus of Las Vegas have a great need to construct a MANDAP within our Hindu Temple premises. We have already bought beautiful moorthies (Statues of Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Bruhaspati, Shukra, Sani, Rahu and Ketu) of the nine celestial bodies and Peetham (platforn) to the Temple. We are in the process of building the mandap of approximately 19.7’ X 17’ just outside our main temple in its NorthEast comer at an estimated cost of $80,000.

We request your generous donation for this purpose. We want every one of you to be part of this venture with whatever contributions, big or small. Generation after generation of Hindus with their children will enjoy the benefit of Navagraha Worship in our temple. And it will be because of all of you.
