Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 The Avataras of the Lord " There are many incarnations of the unborn Supreme Lord. Lord Janardana (Vishnu) has incarnated as the Navagrahas (nine planets) to bestow on the living beings the results of their karma (actions). He assumed the auspicious form of Grahas to destroy the strength of the demons, to sustain the strength of the devas (demigods) and to establish dharma (religious principles). " ( BPHS. 2.3-4.) The planets are representatives of the Lord's Avataras, or incarnations. Thus the planets are controlled on three levels: There is one personality in control of the planet itself, there is one Devata (demigod) above him, and there is one Avatar of Vishnu above all of them. The following table shows these relations: Planet Controller Demigod Avatara Sun Surya (Sungod) Agni (Firegod) Rama Moon Soma (Moongod) Varuna (God of water) Krishna Mars Kuja (God of Mars) Katikkeya (God of war) Narasimha (Lion headed) Mercury Budha (God of Mercury) Vishnu (The Maintainer) Buddha (the Enlightened) Jupiter Brihaspati (Guru of Demigods) Indra (King of Demigods) Vamana (Dwarf) Venus Sukracarya (Guru of Demons) Saci (Indra's wife) Parasurama (Rama with the Chopper) Saturn Sani (Brother of Yama) Brahma (God of creation) Kurma (Tortoise) Rahu Head of a demon Durga (Material energy) Varaha (Boar) Ketu Body of a demon Ganesa (God of Vedas) Matsya (Fish) Ascendant Bhumi Devi (Mother Earth) Kalki Other authors, like Jaimini and Harihara give slightly different sets of Deities for the 9 planets. The following table indicates the Deities assigned by Jaimini, and those that may be assigned by followers of other religions like Sikhism or Christianity: Planet Deity by Jaimini Sikh Gurus Christianity Sun Shiva Nanak Dev Holy Ghost Moon Gauri Gobind Dev Virgin Mary Mars Skanda Gobind Singh Crusaders Mercury Vishnu Har Krishan Apostles Jupiter Samba Siva Arjun Dev Jesus Christ Venus Lakshmi Tegh Bahadur Angels Saturn Narayana Amar Das Holy Father Rahu Durga Angad Dev Mystics Ketu Ganapati Har Rai Saints Lagna Ram Das These significations will be widely used later on, when we will take lessons about the Ishta Devata (worship able Deity) and spirituality in the chart. Interestingly, Parashara says, speaking about the Avataras, that Rama, Krishna, Narasimha and Varaha are fully endowed with Paramatmamsa, while the rest have Jeevatmamsa in them also. This can be explained astrologically as follows: The Sun and the Moon are the two main planets, and all the rest of the planets receive their rays from them. Thus they are considered to be divine planets. Narasimha is also considered as a higher form of Divinity, and He represents the energy and determination needed to attain a goal. Narasimhadeva and Varahadeva killed two brother demons: Hiranyakasipu and Hiranyaksa. They represented the bad qualities of pride and greed. Rahu is the worst planet, and it represents this degraded age of Kali. However if Rahu is the Atmakaraka, then the native may become purifiead of all contaminations and reach God, similarly as Varaha lifted out the Earth from the depth of the Garbha ocean. The grahas are supposed to represent the different powers exhibited by the respective Avataras even at the times, when these Avataras are un-manifest. Parashara concludes the 2 nd chapter as follows: " At the time of the great destruction the Grahas merge into Lord Vishnu. One who knows of all these will become well versed in the knowledge of the past, present and future. No one can know these things without the knowledge of astrology. Hence everyone must study this science, and particularly the Brahmins. One who, devoid of the knowledge of this science, blames it, will go to the hell called Raurava, and will be reborn blind.
