Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 There seems ample evidence in the Indian constellation names and legends that Orion represents Shiva, one of the Hindu trinity of Gods. The Indian, Siddhantic Astronomical term for the Orion is Kalapurusha or Rudra, which are different names for Shiva. There are several other symbols associated with Shiva which are represented around Orion in Indian star lore. Taurus the Bull, could be associated with Nandi, Shiva's vehicle, a sacred Bull. Aakash Ganga, or the Milkyway could have connotations of the river Ganga that was imprisoned in the hair of Shiva, on account of her turbulent behaviour. Also imprisoned in his hair is the Crescent Moon – an occasional visitor to these parts of the sky. , Guru <ahudupa wrote: > > I have never made any request for any reading.
