OTHER SOURCES OF UNDERSTANDING

 

 

Without going to the origin of the Universe and stick arround the

solar system and its creation I found The relevance of the Sun King

and his parapernalia (grahas) and their location .

 

Maharishi Parasara divided the whole universe or Narayana

into four parts. This four-fold division of the Universe is also

carried

further into Jyotish as its second fundamental division of the Bha-

Chakra

(Zodiac symbolizing the body of Narayana) into four parts called

Kendra

 

In the Sri Srimad Bhagavatam it is been explain that :

 

1) Lord Vasudeva is the adhidevata of the , consciousness, (chetana)

Sankarasana is the adhidevata of ego, (Ahamkar)

Anidruddha is the adhidevata of the mind ( Manas)

and Pradyumna is the adhidevata of the intelligence . ( Buddhi)

 

 

I question myself:

 

Why Sri Srimad Bhagavatam is so important and what is the

relationship with

Navagraha ? and Surya Narayana

 

It simply because it narrates the lila of Bhagawan in his multiple

Avataras

 

and What is the meaning of Bhagawan then ?

 

According with the definition of Bhagawan ,we find that is the one

who possesses

 

the following qualities:

 

Riches, Strengh, fame, beauty, jnana, Renuntiation

 

So the planets are representatives of those Gunas

then we have. :

 

Jupiter is the reflection of Sri Bhagawan riches,( aisvarya),

Mars reflects His strengh, or virya, the Sun and the Moon are

the reflecting His fame (yasah), Venus represents His beauty (SRI),

Mercury is the reflection of His knowledge (jnana or Vidya ) and

Saturn is the

reflection of His renounciation (vairajna , Sannyass).

 

Note: I do agree with the theory , What is above is within and what

is not within me is not

anywhere , ( in quality not in quantity ) ,so the Universe is

contained within each atom ( Microcosms ) if not why

Parashara divided the human body in different regions,and organs and

assign grahas and Rasis ?
