Kindly elaborate the power and benefits of Maha Mantra,'Shri Anjaneya, Shri Subramanya'.

[Shri Anil Antony asked]

Swami replied:- Out of nine planets, five are called auspicious planets and the rest four are called as malefic planets. This does not mean that five planets are good and four planets are bad. It only means that five planets work in giving good fruits and four planets work in giving bad fruits. The four malefic planets are Shani, Kuja, Rahu and Ketu. Shani is pacified by worshipping God Hanuman and the other three planets are pacified by worshipping God Subrahmanya. Hence, by taking the names of these two powerful deities, the four planets giving bad results are pacified, which gives immediate relief in the course of punishments of sins. God Brahmā is the judge giving the final judgement. God Vishnu implements the rewards for merits. God Shiva implements the punishments of sins. God Anjaneya and God Subrahmanya are very powerful incarnations of God Shiva, who presides over punishments of sins.
