As a child, I used to recite daily in the evenings the sanskrit stotras: Maruti Strotra, Ramraksha, Bheemarupi Stotra and the 15th chapter of Bhagvat Gita (Urdhava mulam adhah shakham). Sometime back I questioned my mom why she choose to teach me only the 15th chapter of the Bhagvat Gita when she rightly pointed that it was because that is the gist of the entire scripture. Soo very thoughtful! I decided today, to learn by heart the Navgraha Stotra which I can read in Sanskrit. Just was reading about it on Google and it seems to be a powerful stotra for the overall well-being of a person. This stotra reminded me of a humorous incidence dating back to my mom's wedding where my grandfather (mom's dad) made her recite this stotra several times because my parent's horoscopes din't match perfectly!
I am not sure on how these stotras influence a person's life because I lack the scientific knowledge on how the calculations are derived and predictions are made. But reciting these chantings regularly has immensely developed my pronunciation skills which I feel are crucial to every person no matter what you decide to be.
