Dasa avatar related to the planets.

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhadra Govinda Dasa,

 

Thanks for this mail. I thrive on such information. I`m going to have lots

of fun, studying the dasa avatars/planets in this light.

Any more such jems are very welcome.

 

hari Om.

 

Shabnam

 

Shastra tells us that the worship of Garuda and Bhagavan Narasimha wards off

all evil effects from the navagrahas (nine planets). The Nrisimha PuraNam

specifically glorifies this aspect in the RuNa vimOchana stotram salutation

"krUragrahaI: piidithAnAm bhakthAnAm abhaya pradham".

 

Also from an astrological astronomical perspective to again re-inforce

emphasis on ONLY taking shelter of the Lord and not temporal material

endevours it is suggested in each of the Vaishnava sampradayas that

recitation of Srila Jayadev Goswami's (Gaudiya line), or Sripad Vadiraj

Tirtha's (Madha line), or Swami Desikan's (Sri Vaishnava line) recite the

Dashavatara stotram (prayers in glorification of the 10 primary

incarnations) safeguards one from all evil effects of navagrahas (nine

planets). In that regard Lord Matsya avataram rules over Ketu, while Kurma

avataram confers protection against the effects of Shani (Saturn), Lord

Varaha grants succour from the effects of Rahu, Lord Narasimha from Mars

(Kuja or Mangal), Lord Vamana from Brihaspati (Jupiter), Bhargava Rama

(Parasuram) from Shukran (Venus), Dasharathi Rama (Lord Ramachandra) from

the Sun (Surya-vamsha), Krishna from the Moon (Chandra-vamsha), Lord

Balarama from Gulikan, and Lord Kalki from Budhan (Mercury) - again a

wonderful demonstration of the compassion of Our Paramacharyan (gurus) for

their followers.
