Navagrahas
In the
previous page,
we discussed that the whole Universe is only a manifestation
of Pure Consciousness. This pure Consciousness manifest as the Universe with
five basic principles called the Pancha Bhootas. These five principles
has nine aspects of expression in this Universe, the Navagrahas.
Navagrahas:
This five principles (Pancha Bhootas) behind the manifestation of this universe
has nine aspects of expression. This nine aspects of expression of
the five Pancha Bhootas are
the Navagrahas. Navagrahas like the
Pancha Bhootas
are literally
taken only as the outward gross planets of the Solar System. The
subtle Truth of the Navagrahas is that , it is the nine-expression
modes of the five principles causing the Manifestation of the
Universe.
Since action is the core of life, let us take the nine-modes of
expression in action.
1. The "Awareness" (and also Leadership) in doing an action- is represented by Surya
(Sun).
2. Instinct or the "lead' (emotional factor) to do an action - Chandra (Moon)
3. The Power (Energy) in action - Kuja (Mars).
4. The focus or attention (Intelligence) in doing action - Budh (Mercury)
5. The purpose or "objective or philosophy" (Goal) in doing an action - Guru (Jupiter)
6. The aesthetic beauty (artistic way of doing) in the performance of action - Shukra - Venus.
7. Initial Inertia (Judgemental) in action - Saturn Shani.
8. The distortion factor that deviates the result of an
action - Rahu.
9. The factor that that pulls to the culmination (Spiritual) of the result - Ketu.
These nine factors are seen
in each and every action of this universe, whether it could be the
rotation action of the celestial bodies or the action at atomic
level or the action of the human beings.
Let us take an example of a football player hitting the
ball to obtain the goal. The awareness in the play and the final outcome
of the game is the "Sun" aspect. Infact the
whole football game is based on that fact. It is the center point of the
game. The instinct and the lead in doing the action is the
Moon. The aspect of drawing full power to
hit the ball is the Mars aspect. When the
ball is with a player and the focusing aspect to hit the ball is the
Budh aspect because that is where he uses
his intellect. The aesthetic beauty in hitting the ball is the
Venus aspect. The initial slow action which
leads to the completion of the act is the Saturn
aspect. Once he hits the ball, whether it will lead to the goal or not
depends on the the distortion factor Rahu
or the binding factor Ketu.
So if we analyze each and every action we will see that these nine-modes
of expression is manifested in every action of this universe. It should
be clearly understood that these nine aspects may not expression
equally. The varying proportions of each aspect of the Navagrahas leads
to the diversity in this creation.
Like the seven colors, where all of the basically emerge from white
color, but different variations in colors leads to different shades of
colors. Similarly different ranges of expression (Navagrahas) leads
to the diverse activities in this Universe.
There is one more aspect to the expression mode of the Navagrahas, the
twelve fields of expression, which are known as the twelve houses.
Various degrees of the expression of these nine expression attributes (Navagrahas)
can be mathematically calculation which is called as the Jyothism or
Vedic Astrology.

and the connection to individual human life.
