vanamali Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Lord Rama is born in the solar dynasty, in the line of Raghu. So He is Raghupati/ Raaghava. Lord Krishna is born in the lunar dynasty, in the line of Yadu, so He is Yaadava. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 How do I find mine? Has it anything to do with physical features? How do people who descend from solar dynasty look like? Perhaps, that can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theist Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 How to find out if a person has come from sun dynasty? We all predate these suns and moons. Trace your lineage straight to the Supreme Lord Himself. One Lord One Source One family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanamali Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Lagna is something else Gothram is the rishi (Such as Vasistha, Vishvamithra, etc.) to which your family traces its lineage The priest will ask your gothram, rashi, nakshatra, etc. If you don't know your gothram people will usually say "Vishnu gothram" In other words, if you know your gothram then you know something about the deep roots of family history. If you don't know, then it doesn't matter because we have all come from the supreme Lord Vishnu/Krishna. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pankaja_Dasa Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 In each and every planet there is a predominating deity. It is understood from Bhagavad-gita that in the sun there is a predominating deity named Vivasvan. Similarly, there is a predominating deity of the moon and of the various planets. Actually the predominating deities in all the other planets are descendants from the predominating deities of the sun and moon. On this planet earth there are two kshatriya dynasties, and one comes from the predominating deity of the sun and the other from the predominating deity of the moon. These dynasties are known as Surya-vamsa and Candra-vamsa respectively. When monarchy existed on this planet, the chief member was one of the members of the Surya dynasty, or Surya-vamsa, and the subordinate kings belonged to the Candra-vamsa. However, Maharaja Prithu was so powerful that he could exhibit all the qualities of the predominating deities in other planets. __ http://srimadbhagavatam.com/4/22/54/en1 {Purport extract} SB 9.12.1: Sukadeva Gosvami said: The son of Ramacandra was Kusa, the son of Kusa was Atithi, the son of Atithi was Nishadha, and the son of Nishadha was Nabha. The son of Nabha was Pundarika, and from Pundarika came a son named Kshemadhanva. SB 9.12.2: The son of Kshemadhanva was Devanika, Devanika's son was Aniha, Aniha's son was Pariyatra, and Pariyatra's son was Balasthala. The son of Balasthala was Vajranabha, who was said to have been born from the effulgence of the sun-god. SB 9.12.3-4: The son of Vajranabha was Sagana, and his son was Vidhriti. The son of Vidhriti was Hiranyanabha, who became a disciple of Jaimini and became a great acarya of mystic yoga. It is from Hiranyanabha that the great saint Yajnavalkya learned the highly elevated system of mystic yoga known as adhyatma-yoga, which can loosen the knots of material attachment in the heart. SB 9.12.5: The son of Hiranyanabha was Pushpa, and the son of Pushpa was Dhruvasandhi. The son of Dhruvasandhi was Sudarsana, whose son was Agnivarna. The son of Agnivarna was named Sighra, and his son was Maru. __ http://srimadbhagavatam.com/9/12/en1 Next verse...with Purport! TRANSLATION Having achieved perfection in the power of mystic yoga, Maru still lives in a place known as Kalapa-grama. At the end of Kali-yuga, he will revive the lost Surya dynasty by begetting a son. PURPORT At least five thousand years ago, Srila Sukadeva Gosvami ascertained the existence of Maru in Kalapa-grama and said that Maru, having achieved a yoga-siddha body, would continue to exist until the end of Kali-yuga, which is calculated to continue for 432,000 years. Such is the perfection of mystic power. By controlling the breath, the perfect yogi can continue his life for as long as he likes. Sometimes we hear from the Vedic literature that some personalities from the Vedic age, such as Vyasadeva and Asvatthama, are still living. Here we understand that Maru is also still living. We are sometimes surprised that a mortal body can live for such a long time. The explanation of this longevity is given here by the word yoga-siddha. If one becomes perfect in the practice of yoga, he can live as long as he likes. The demonstration of some trifling yoga-siddha does not constitute perfection. Here is a factual example of perfection: a yoga-siddha can live as long as he likes. __ http://srimadbhagavatam.com/9/12/6/en1 The Yadu dynasty belonged to the family descending from Soma, the moon-god. Although the planetary systems are so arranged that the sun comes first, before the moon, Parikshit Maharaja gave more respect to the dynasty of the moon-god, the soma-vamsa, because in the Yadava dynasty, descending from the moon, Krishna had appeared. There are two different kshatriya families of the royal order, one descending from the king of the moon planet and the other descending from the king of the sun. Whenever the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears, He generally appears in a kshatriya family because He comes to establish religious principles and the life of righteousness. According to the Vedic system, the kshatriya family is the protector of the human race. When the Supreme Personality of Godhead appeared as Lord Ramacandra, He appeared in the surya-vamsa, the family descending from the sun-god, and when He appeared as Lord Krishna, He did so in the Yadu dynasty, or yadu-vamsa, whose descent was from the moon-god. In the Ninth Canto, Twenty-fourth Chapter, of Srimad-Bhagavatam, there is a long list of the kings of the yadu-vamsa. All the kings in both the soma-vamsa and surya-vamsa were great and powerful, and Maharaja Parikshit praised them very highly (rajnam cobhaya-vamsyanam caritam paramadbhutam). Nonetheless, he wanted to hear more about the soma-vamsa because that was the dynasty in which Krishna had appeared. __ http://srimadbhagavatam.com/10/1/1/en1 {Purport extract} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Is it possible to find gotram using lagna etc.? Also, can physical features determine it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanamali Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 I never heard of being able to determine that. Usually your parents may know, and their parents, etc etc. I hope you find out what you are searching for. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
