Navagrahas & Kula Daivam

[Guest guest]

HARI OM,

 

With changes to the planets, astrologists (even those which is provided in newspaper columns) recommends each one of us to pray to the required Navagraha to overcome the doshas/to attain benefits etc:

 

As per my understanding, Lord Krishna stopped the people of Vrindavan from offering prayers to Lord Indra for benefits (which resulted in heavy rains and Lord Krishna protecting Vrindavan & finally Lord Indra accepting that his action was not right). Lord Krishna also says to the people of Vrindavan to pray to either one of the tri moortis or to one's kula daivam (ista deivam) only and not get waivered with praying to so many Gods for different requirements (from my reading of the Bhagavatam. Excuse me if I got the message incorrectly).

 

So is it required to pray to Navagrahas? Also one prays for a specific remedy for a specific period of time to one specific planet, and after the bad effect period is over, there would be another planet which would have bad effect for each one of us, and we move to the next? So prayers to one specific navagraha is done only for a specific duration,until the bad effect period comes again. Quite difficult to digest, since its like making friends/relationships and then breaking off, once we overcome the problem!

 

Find astrology and what the Lord says above to be contradicting? Or is my understanding of the above wrong?

 

I beleive insights from our learned gurujis into this topic would benefit a lot of us, especially when newspapers informs us of planet movements, which affect different stars in different ways.

 

Best Regards,

Anil

Guruvayoorappa.

Dear Devotee of

the Lord,

As far as my

little knowledge goes, worship to God is relative, and it depends

on one’s

faith and belief. We believe that there is Divine Grace in everything

in the world,

irrespective of the fact whether it is grass or gold. What we ignore

as grass may

some times be the ‘Mrithasanjeevani;. So, it is no wonder we worship

planets, which

are pure Celestial Bodies.

It is not a

secret now that each planet has its own unique polarization/ frequency

which affects

all living things in the universe on a cellular level. The influence of

time and space of

an event stamps, then and there, a permanent seal on it through

the planetary alignment,

the forces of which are flowing around us in invisible channels

directing our

lives towards certain conditions, some of which can be adjusted and or

modified by

knowing them well in advance at the right time. Astrology is supposed to

be the Science

of the Absolute.

In concluding

the introduction to his Autobiography, ‘Wings of Fire’, Shri. A. P.

J.

Abdul Kalam

writes “ We are all born with a Divine Fire in us. Our efforts should be

to give wings to

this fire and fill the world with the glow of its goodness.”

In order to

glow the goodness of the Divine Fire in us, and to remove ‘doshas’,

it

seems good to

worship the planets.

It is commonly

said that you can change the worship of planet among the Navagrahas,

as the

dasa period changes. For example, when after Mars dasa comes Rahu dasa,

you can change

worshipping of Mars to Rahu, amidst the Navagrahas, provided

they are found

afflicting you in any way.

It is no wonder

Lord Krishna, the Supreme Power, ask the people of Vrindavan

to stop praying

Indra. Also, it is in unequivocal words that the Lord tell them to

pray to either

of the Tri-Moorthees or to one’s Kula Devata only, and not to get

confused.

In short,

again, if you feel to worship Navagrahas , it is up to you. One thing is

certain that

worshipping of Navagraha is never going to entail any additional

difficulty to

you, it seems. Changing the worship of planets, may perhaps be

like changing

medicines for change in diseases, like the medicine for Flu may

not be

effective for Swan fever. It is never like changing friends.

There seems no

contradiction in the Lord’s statement, because it proves

beyond doubt

that if you believe in faith, there is no question of any fate.

Poojaneeya

Gurudevs may forgive and correct me if I went wrong.

Padaravindame

Saranam, Guruvayoorappa Saranam,

mpr

 

Thank you,

Have a great

day,

mprnair,

nairradhakrishnan.
