|| Angaraka (Kuja) Stotram ||
The Angaraka Stotram, originated from the Skanda Purana, is a celestial key to unlocking the positive energies of Mars (Kuja). In Vedic Astrology, Mars is the planet of action, courage, and property. When Mars is well-aligned, it grants success; however, its malefic influence (Mangal Dosha) can lead to delays in marriage, financial struggles, and property disputes.
Chanting this stotra every morning is a highly effective spiritual practice for those seeking to transform these challenges into opportunities for growth and stability. Whether you are dealing with a difficult Mars transit or have specific doshas in your birth chart, these sacred verses offer a path to peace and prosperity.
