Siva for Mars (Was Shukra Appeasement---All

[Guest guest]

Good discussion Venkata Ji. I am aware of this fact, and some said

that Hanumana also is a form of Shiva !!! But well, my experiences

with Shiva Mantras never get even closer to Mars, nor any classics

mention this as per my knowledge. Mantras to Lord Skanda and Hanumana

totally relates to mars in my experiences, stated in BPHS etc.

 

What is your experience by the way?
