The Navagraha Stotram verse, transliterated Hima-kunda-mṛṇālābhaṃ daityānāṃ paramaṃ gurum, sarva-śāstra-pravaktāraṃ bhārgavaṃ praṇamāmy aham, means: “I bow to Bhargava (Shukra), white as snow, jasmine, and the lotus stalk, the supreme teacher of the daityas, expounder of all the scriptures.” See what is a beej mantra for how seed syllables like draam dreem draum work.
Who is Shukra?
Shukra is both a planet and a sage. As a graha, he is Venus, the bright morning and evening star, ruling Friday (Shukravar). As a sage, he is Shukracharya, son of the rishi Bhrigu — hence the name Bhargava — and the guru of the asuras, famed in the Puranas for knowing the secret of reviving the dead. In Vedic astrology he governs love, marriage, beauty, the arts, luxury, and comfort.
Shukra among the Navagraha
Shukra is one of the nine grahas (Navagraha) in Vedic astrology, alongside Surya and Shani. It’s traditionally associated with harmony, relationships, and refined pleasure — qualities this mantra is chanted to support, particularly around marriage, partnership, and creative or artistic pursuits. For relationship harmony, some devotees also chant the Krishna Beej Mantra.
How to chant the Shukra Mantra
Chant Om Draam Dreem Draum Sah Shukraya Namah 108 times on a Friday, Shukra’s day, in a calm, pleasant setting with an unhurried, appreciative attitude. A diamond, white sapphire, or crystal mala is traditional but any mala works. New chanters can read why mantras are chanted 108 times and the guide to starting a daily mantra practice.
Begin with a short prayer, light a lamp or incense, and, if you like, offer white flowers or white sweets — white is Shukra’s traditional colour. Friday-morning practice is customary, and many devotees combine Shukra mantra japa with Lakshmi worship, as both are associated with Friday and prosperity.
Navagraha mantras are traditional remedies, not guarantees.
