Vedic Astrology is based on the premise that there are essentially nine planets that impact the lives of the people and that their careful study can reveal the past, present and future of any individual. These nine planets are known as the Nava Grahas or simply as Grahas. These are Surya, the Sun, Chandra, the Moon, Mangala, Mars, Budha, Mercury, Brihaspathi, Jupiter, Shukra, Venus, Shani, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. It can be seen that the system considers the Sun and the Moon also as planets and also, the northern and southern nodal points of the Moon as the shadow planets, Rahu and Ketu.
Each of these Grahas has its own unique nature and characteristics. They can also give good or not-so-good results depending largely on their positioning in the various Houses of an individual’s horoscope. When afflicted, these planets can affect the life of an individual in many ways.

Goddess Shoolini Durga Devi holds the glorious trident in her hand. She is matchless in the destruction of enemies. She is a majestic ruler who has knife wielding friends on both her sides as guards. Just the thought of her itself drives away vicious grahas, who run away out of fear.
