Shree Maa asks if you like to help to pray for Earth Mother to please pray to planets with us.
Take a sankalpa to pray to one or more or all the planets with japa and homa as per your capacity and the following system. You can do it in one asana, in one day or in one week or on the day of the planet or in a month or over time — as you like. It is your sankalpa. Just so you complete the sankalpa in this year as an offering for Earth Mother.
Note: If you do not have the specific mala indicated, all can be performed with rudraksha.
