Some Powerful, Universal Planetary remedies (Chanting)

Here are some simple, universal, harmless, time tested, effective remedies for daily practice. In my experience, as in the case of many many others, regular practice of these chants (for about 30-35 min per day) could have a tremendous effect on all aspects covering one's life.

1) Vishnu Sahasranama - In addition to the peace and tranquility created by the chanting, it also acts as an effective remedy to ward off all malefic effects of grahas in our life. Conversely, it serves to increase all benefic powers of these grahas. Chanting of this stotra takes about 20 min. If you have been taught Shiva Sahasranama, you can also chant that (with/instead of) Vishnu Sahasranama.

2) Hanuman Chalisa - Authored by the great Rama Bhakt Sri Tulsidas, a person chanting these verses while pondering over their meaning, will get great strength, courage and fortitude. It is a wonderful remedy for all ills arising out of adversely placed KUJA and SHANI. If you chant Rama Nama before and after the chanting, you will get the blessings of Rama Bhakt Sri Hanuman even faster. Chanting could take less than 5 min.

3) Aditya Hridayam - This master stotra is a great remedy to all health problems, and effectively corrects all issues related to badly placed Sun in the horoscope. It increases one's self confidence, positivity, facilitates career advancement and openness to all. Chanting could take less than 5 min.

4) Sankata Hara Ganesha Stotram - This great stotra from Narada Purana is a great remedy for all kinds of worries. Ganesha is Graha-pati so praying to him will immediately result in reduction and ultimate removal of all negative effects associated with the navagrahas, and especially Rahu and Ketu. It is advisable to chant this stotram first of all. Chanting could take less than 5 min.

5) Mahalakshmi Ashtakam/Uma Maheswara Stotram - Either of these could be chanted for reducing Shukra-related or Chandra-related issues in one's horoscope. Again, chanting would take less than 5 min.

It is recommended to chant Santhi mantras at the end of chanting any mantras/stotras dedicated to fiery Gods/Planets. Fiery planets are Sun, Mars, Jupiter. Instead of Santhi mantras, if one so prefers, one can also chant OM SHAAANTISHAAAANTISHAANTIH OR OM SHAANTHI OM 3 times.

One can also make the two mantras below a daily practice

1) The holy Gayatri mantra - This will enhance Dharma (Sun) and all Dharma-related aspects like purity, self confidence, leadership etc.

2) The holy Mahamrityumjaya mantra - This, if practised regularly in the early morning in empty stomach, will slowly but surely erase all serious ailments of the body and mind and enhances one's natural lustre. Chant the mantra in multiples of 11.

An excellent practice.
You can keep milk in a silver glass and keep it in your right hand while chanting this mantra 33 times holding the glass close to the mouth and once the chanting is finished, drink the milk immediately. Within one week of doing this every morning in an open stomach, you will surely see great results.

All gods and goddesses are simply different aspects or faces of the One Parabrahma = Ekam Aditi Brahma

Pranamam,
Very informative article about the Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram.
Here I would like to share more information about the Vishnu Sahasranamam.
Thanks.

Thank you for all the comments. I agree that all Gods are various aspects of the one all-pervasive, Supreme Parabrahman. However here while we are talking about chant-remedies, we have the concept of naada-brahman. I believe that each stotra/mantra encapsulates a specific naadam. By reciting the appropriate mantra/stotram, we are changing the vibration that we currently find ourselves in, to a happier, healthier, more Sattvic vibration. I cannot offer any proofs for my belief. But the one thing that I can state with certainty is that recitation of these stotras/mantras have definitely led to improvement in my life.

Vishnu Sahasranamam is the most powerful.

I think all the above mentioned mantras are great with the exception
of Hanuman Chalisa.
Hanuman Chalisa is written in awadhi language and not sanskrit.
For this reason, it will not work.
It is a poem and not a mantra.

Authentic mantras will be in sanskrit only.
