Guest guest Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Dear Shri.Viswanathamji, Thank you very much for the list of thirty three Devathas. However I was under the impression on the basis of my Guru's Upadesa that among the INDHRATHI DEVATHAS the prathma Devatha is ASHTA VASU. It symbolises the 'SAKTHI ' that is derived from eight directions.It is this Sakthi that is being honoured in any 'Homa' kunda on the eve of any Homa. With regards, D.Sathiyanarayana Gupta.H S Viswanadham <vishwanatham (AT) rocketmail (DOT) com> wrote: Hare Rama Krishna Dear Gupta, Among the Indraadhi devas, who are in all 33, my understading is as follows: 1. 8 Vasavas(vasus) indicate the primary source of knowledge(light) .

Dwadasa adityas, representing (Sun in) the 12 signs 4.Prajapati representing the lagna 5. Indra is the deity of 10th house (in short) who provides each one with work (kingdom!) Now, knowing that you are a knowledgeable person (from your last few mails), i only think you are posing a riddle. Am i right. As we can see all are important to explain the paradigm of Jyotisya.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Dear Gupta, Very well said. 8 vasus are the primary sources of light. However, if we understand the 'light' as the 'knowledge', all the 33 devas are important in laying the foundation for astrology. This is what i understood from the teachings of Pt. Rath. i respect your Guru's upadesa for you. regards viswanadhamSathiyanarayana Gupta <gupta816 > wrote: Dear Shri.Viswanathamji, Thank you very much for the list of thirty three Devathas.
