SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Lord DevanAtha PerumAL : Swamy Desikan named this SrI Sookthi as "Nava Mani Maalai " following the Tamil grammar traditions in observing the rules of poetry metres . In such poetry , there are 9 paasurams (verses) just like the nine gems in a Nava Rathna MaNi Maalai . These Paasurams shine like the nine gems representing the nava grahams : 1. Ruby for Sun ( Sooryan) 2. Pearl for Moon (Chandran) 3. Red Coral for Mars(AnghArakan) 4. Emerald for Mercury (Budhan) 5. Yellow sapphire for Jupiter(Guru) 6. Diamond for Venus 7. Blue Sapphire for Saturn(Sani) 8. Hessonite for Raahu 9. Cat's eye for KEthu Please refer to SrI Mutthuswamy Dheekshithar's Nava Graha Keethanais to learn more about these nine grahams . There are Veda Manthrams for each of the above nine grahams( Gems) for Navagraha Saanthi Homam for those who wish to get the blessings of these individual grahams . A prapanna SrI VaishNavan does not perform worship to any one of these grahams but only to SrIman NaarAyaNan , the indweller of them all . Many however wear Navarathna Maalai or ring consisting of these nine gems with Ruby at the center and the rest in their alloted positions around the Sun in a square pattern to ward off Nava graha dhOshams . Swamy Desikan in one of the powerful SrI RanganAtha PaadhukA Sahasra slOkams paid tribute to the PaadhukAs of Lord RanganAtha as the controller of the power of these Nava grahams( SlOkam . Two or three years ago , we were fortunate to present a double strand Nava Mani Maalai to Thiruvaheendhrapuram SrI DevanAtha PerumAl and a MummaNikkOvai to His Divine Consort Sri HemAbhjavalli ThAyAr . The concluding phase of that series of Kaimkaryam will arrive soon with the SamarpaNam of the RathnAngi for Lord DeavanAtha PerumAL . Garuda PurANam(68.17) and Agni PurANam (246.7-8) dwell on the auspiciousness conferring power of these gems as long as they are "high born " and blemishless ( SujanithA amalam ). A synopsis of the nine paasurams of Nava MaNi Maalai along with the Phala Sruthi Paasuram has been archived at Oppiliappan List ( March 28 , 2003 : Thiruvhaeendhrapuram RathnAngi series: Part XVIII): http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/oppiliappan In the subsequent postings related to Nava Mani Maalai , adiyEn will cover the Paasurams one by one in little more detail .
