Abstract: Vedic Astrology is the traditional Hindu system of astrology. It is one of the six auxiliary disciplines in Hinduism that is connected with the study of the Vedas. The term Jyotisha includes the study of astronomy, astrology and the science of timekeeping using the movements of astronomical bodies It aimed to keep time, maintain calendars, and predict auspicious times for Vedic rituals1. Navagraha are the nine celestial bodies used in Hindu astrology. In Hindu Astrology, the nine Planets/Grahas are Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. Amongst them Rahu and Ketu are astronomical points where the Moons orbit intersects the apparent path of the Sun around the earth. Astrology suggests these Rahu and Ketu as chhaya graha. These nine planets/grahas are not only directly related to individual’s lives but also exerts effects on ecology2. Life on earth is believed to be affected by the cosmic energies of the navagraha or nine planets. There are nine plants narrated for each planet/graha of navagraha. In the universe, the grahas are responsible for maintaining overall equilibrium. These grahas have their energy, qualities and are said to affect each of us throughout our lives. Every plant included in navagraha are specially chosen to influence one’s energy field3. The Vedas explain that these herbs are not only sacred in nature but also possess medicinal properties. Also, these included herbs remove toxins and refresh the human body.The plants included are apamarga (Achyranthes aspera) for Budha, Udumbara (Ficus racemosa) for Shukra, Palasha (Butea monosperma) for Moon, Peepal (Ficus religiosa) for Guru, Khadira (Acacia catechu) for Mars, Arka (Calotropis procera) for Sun, Darbha (Imperata cylindrica).for Ketu4.The present study aims to rationalize nine herbs/ plants in perspective of navagraha for spiritual growth.
