The Navagraha\u2014Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budha, Guru (Brihaspati), Shukra, Shani, Rahu, and Ketu\u2014are believed to govern destiny, health, relationships, and prosperity.<\/p><p data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1524\">Guided by this Vedic wisdom, <strong data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1260\">Dattayogi Swami Shri Anna Guruji Maharaj<\/strong>, a strong believer in Vedic astrology, envisioned the creation of this Siddhapeetham to make the power of <strong data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1426\">mantras, hymns, and prayers accessible to common people<\/strong>. His mission was to help devotees overcome negative planetary effects and lead a harmonious life.<\/p><p data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1817\">The temple complex also houses the <strong data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1577\">Panch Devtas<\/strong>\u2014Shri Ganesha, Indra, Goddess Durga, Vastu Devta, and Kal Bhairava (the Kshetrapal or guardian deity).
