Vaivarta Puran, Prakriti Khand & planets relationship.

Dear All,

In Bhrama Vaivatra Puran, (Pg 85 Gita press Gorakhpur) in Prakriti Khanda, Bhagwan Narayan says to Narada that on five Devi is called Prakriti in which this Universe is dependent.
These five Devi are :
1)Durga (who is mother of Ganesh)
2)Laxmi
3)Saraswati
4)Savitri
5)Radha.

I think these are referred as Five Tattwas and just a though came to my mind to relate these with five planets as following:

1)Durga : Planet is Mars.
2)Laxmi : Planet is Venus.
3)Saraswati : Planet is Mercury.
4)Savitri : Planet is Jupiter.
5)Radha. : Planet is Saturn.

Though Rahu\ketu and sun\moon are excluded in basic scheme of tattwas still we can classify by putting Rahu and ketu with Durga, Sun with Saraswati & Moon with Savitri.

This is just my thought and shared with all, if you find appropriate than discuss it else leave it.

Thankyou,

Dear Sunilji and all,

I have heard of the story you are mentioning, it is right.

Basically mine classification is based in tattwa concept and the kind of feminine energy associated with these five Devis as mentioned in Puran, which is the basic entity on which Universe is dependent.

If you will see Sri Radha's life was full of sorrow in the view of Sansara to the extent that she was not even married to Krsna. She was the complete epitome of saturn, she can feel the slightest pain of any and has the capacity to uplift from that pain. See how vayu tattwa (sani) was dominant in his life giving her great internal strength.

Reciting Gayatri mantra, Sri Savitri gives wisdom and knowledge, just see the relationship of Savitri and jupiter. Akash tattwa in the body will increase and become prominent.

You can seek help from Sri Durga for the protection of Dharma, main philosopy of mars is to protect from Adharma. Agni tattwa will get prominent, Agni is Dharma.

Sri Laxmi and venus needs no explaination.

Sri Saraswati with mercury also needs no explanation.

-----------------

We can say Shiva has many form, we can consider as jupiter in context like Param Guru, and Sun as Shiva in another context for example their is a sloke in jaimini where sun+ketu is considered as Shiva worshiper [as per my memory]. Even saturn and mars are also taken as the Rudra form form Shiva. I think Bhatuk Bairav form is Shiva is considered to uplift from the sorrow of saturn. Hanuman another rudra form for mars.

--------------------
We can put all nine planets within the Shiva Parivar (family) under different classification,Like Lord Kartikey for mars, Lord Ganesha for mercury, etc.

---------------

We have many ways, at different context, to consider the deity and planet relationship.

Thankyou for reading.

Astrology & science

Dear all,

One interesting fact on vedic astrology basics :

I found one correlation to build a bridge between what is assumed in astrology and what we could find on the physical plane. I didn’t know that what I learnt in my primary school would help me out here. It is VIBGYOR! Yes, it is the spectrum of light and the sequential arrangement of different colours in the spectrum that holds the key!

The Sequence of wavelength as per ascending order is :

Gamma rays
X rays
Ultra violet Radiations
Visible Light
a)Violet
b)Blue
c)Green
d)Yellow
e)Orange
f) Red
Infra Red Radiations
Microwaves
Radiowaves.

Now Marking the planet with associate colors in VIBGYOR we get :

Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
(Vi)olet or Indigo - SATURN
(B)lue - VENUS
(G)reen -MERCURY
(Y)ellow -JUPITER
(O)range -SUN
(R)ed - MARS
Infra Red Radiations - KETU

ADD MOON as pale yellow or off-white in between Jupiter and Sun and the new sequence as follows :

I] Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
ii] Violet or Indigo - SATURN
iii] Blue - VENUS
iv] Green - MERCURY
v] Yellow - JUPITER
vi] Pale Yellow or Off white - MOON
vii]Orange - SUN
vii]Red - MARS
ix] Infra Red Radiations - KETU

We can draw the following conclusions based the spectrum diagram and the colour that each planet represents:

1) The electromagnetic radiation of all physical planets in the solar system is mostly in the visible spectrum range (between 400 to 700 nanometers - nm)

2) Rahu (ultraviolet, 10 to 400 nm) and Ketu (infrared, between 700 nm to 1mm) radiations are beyond the visible range. You must also note that in vedic astrology rahu acts like Saturn (both co-lords sign Aquarius) and ketu acts like mars (both co-lords Scorpio).

3) Within the range between Rahu and Ketu, planets emitting in higher wavelengths (above 540 nm) seem to be friendly to each other as follows :
I] Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
ii] Violet or Indigo - SATURN
iii] Blue - VENUS
iv] Green - MERCURY

And planets emitting in lower wavelengths (below 540 nm) seem to be friendly to each other as follows:
v] Yellow - JUPITER
vi] Pale Yellow or Off white - MOON
vii]Orange - SUN
vii]Red - MARS
ix] Infra Red Radiations - KETU

Planets emitting radiation in higher wavelengths and lower wavelengths seem to be not in harmony with each other.

4) Now one more set can be drawn :

I] Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
ii] Violet or Indigo - SATURN
AND LOWEST ones
vii]Red - MARS
ix] Infra Red Radiations - KETU
These planets are Tamasic in nature.

MIDDLE SET:
iii] Blue - VENUS
iv] Green - MERCURY

These planets are Rajasic in Nature.

MIDDLE LOWER ONE :
v] Yellow - JUPITER
vi] Pale Yellow or Off white - MOON
vii]Orange - SUN

These planet are Sattwik in nature.

In general, the radiation wavelengths of Tamasik planets will be either lower than 440 nm or higher than 620 nm.
In general, radiation wavelengths of Rajasik planets would be in the range of 440-540 nm.
In general, the radiation wavelengths of Satvik planets would be between 540-620 nm.

5) One more set can be drawn based on same sequence is :

The top and bottom consist of natural malefic like
I] Ultra Violet Radiation - RAHU (upper non visible range).
ii] Violet or Indigo - SATURN
vii]Orange - SUN
vii]Red - MARS
ix] Infra Red Radiations - KETU

AND Middle one consists of Natural Benefics like :
iii] Blue - VENUS
iv] Green - MERCURY
v] Yellow - JUPITER
vi] Pale Yellow or Off white - MOON

It is now evident that the wavelength of the radiation of a planet determines its basic characteristic and the nature of influence on us. PROBABLY, we could generalize saying that any
radiation from any object in the specified range (as discussed above) would have similar effect
on us.

I thought I will reproduce an extract from a book. (Its called the Tao of Physics and it is written by Fritjof Capra).

"Material objects not only determine the structure of the surrounding space but are, in turn, influenced by their environment in an essential way. According to the physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach, the inertia of a material object - the object's resistance against being accelerated - is not an intrinsic property of matter, but a measure of its interaction with all the rest of the universe....When a body rotates, its inertia produces centrifugal forces....but these forces appear only because the body rotates 'relative to the fixed stars', as Mach has put it. If those fixed stars were suddenly to disappear, the inertia and the centrifugal forces of the rotating body would disappear with them".

Now, isn't that POWERFUL!!! The interconnectedness of the Universe - the "unity and interrelation between a material object and its environment" gets established so beautifully through this precept.

I'll leave u with a quote from Fred Hoyle from the same book:

"Present-day developments in cosmology are coming to suggest rather insistently that everyday conditions could not persist but for the distant parts of the Universe, that all our ideas of space and geometry would become entirely invalid if the distant parts of the Universe were taken away. Our everyday experience even down to the smallest details seems to be so closely integrated to the grand-scale features of the Universe that it is well-nigh impossible to contemplate the two being separated"
