Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Dear Frank, Namaste. 1. The deities (i.e. lord Siva, Vishnu, Yama etc.) aren't Dasaavatars. Dasaavatars are said to be incarnations of Vishnu, and are physical beings, that have been born on this earth. 2. Parasara was clearly a Vaisnava as he states to worship the Avatara of Vishnu, whereas the Deity list is for the general population. If one had given a list of the grahas compared to the Avataras of Durga, or the Christian deities, then you might not have been thinking in these terms. Sidenotes. Bellow it states that Mercury is MahaVishnu, however MahaVishnu is usually compared to Narayan or Vasudevaya, so it should only read Vishnu, and MahaLakshmi should also only read Lakshmi as MahaLakshmi is Shakti the female incarnation of Narayan. Further, Jupiter is Indra, and Saturn is Brahma. Ultimately the list seems to be constricted to ones faith, yet the energies are the same. I've heard that Prasna Marga has an elaborate list of deities, but i won't comment on that as i'm not in possession of it. Best wishes, Visti. Sun: Lord Siva Moon: Goddess Parvathi Mars: Lord Karthikeya (Subramanya) Mercury: MahaVishnu Jupiter: Lord Dakshinamurthi Venus: Mahalakshmi Saturn: Lord Yama Rahu: Goddess Durga Kethu: Lord Ganesa or Indra Maharishi Parasara names the following: Surya - Sri Rama Chandra - Sri Krisna Mangala - Sri Narasimha Buddhi - Sri Buddha Guru - Sri Vamama Sukra - Sri Parasurama Sani - Sri Koorma Rahi - Sri Varaha Ketui - Sri Matsya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
