Prayers for planets

[Guest guest]

Respected Sir,

 

In our religion, we have saintly persons called Tirthankars

considered as Gods (although they are more known as detatched

persons in actual sense). They are personalities who have achieved

Moksha and are not the ones who grant us material boons.

 

For every such Lord, there will be a couple called Yaksha and

Yakshini who serve the Tirthankars and these are the ones for which

we pray for material boons. Usually, we pray the Yakshinis since

they are considered Shakti and most powerful.

 

Now, coming to planets, each Tirthankar is considered to be equal to

or " Lord " of different planets. So, we have Mantras for different

Tirthankars or Yakshinis relevant to different planets. For example

for Shani, we have a mantra for one Tirthankar Munisuvrat.

 

My friend astrologer usually gives the mantra for a respective

Tirthankar for each planet,for Jains.

 

Do you see the need to go with my traditional prayers? or the

general prayers? I am comfortable with both.
