|Planets(Grahas) = Deities

[Guest guest]

Are all the deities simply manifestations of Graha's(Planets) energies? I have heard this before.

The gods and goddesses of Hinduism are real beings. They are unquestionably and undoubtedly manifestations of God Himself, who exist in space and time, not as a figment of our imagination or superstition, but as real beings capable of miraculous deeds. The personal experiences of countless number of Hindu saints and sages stand testimony to this fact. These sacred souls are born in every age and every generation and confirm beyond doubt that these gods and goddesses exist. The lives and experiences of saints like Sri Ramakrishna , Sri Ramana Maharshi, Swami Shraddananda, Swami Yogananda, Sri Aurobindo, Shridi Saibaba and many more whose names if enumerated would perhaps fill several pages, prove beyond doubt that the gods and goddesses exist in different planes of reality and would respond to us favorably if we pray to them with our hearts and minds.

 

Therefore for a Hindu the worship of gods and goddesses is not a mere superstitious idolatry but an act of faith and a form of communication, a way of placing our cares and concerns in the hands of God, the One Supreme Universal Self, of infinite dimensions, who envelops the worlds, the planets and the whole universe and is also hidden in them. The gods and goddesses are His different forms, the many hands, feet and faces of the one Supreme Purusha, the universal Self, by worshipping whom, in whatever form, none incurs sin and none goes to Hell.

Pranams,

 

Thank you for your kind and detailed response Sir, but it did not answer my inquiry.

 

I am interested in the correspondence between deities and the planets in our solar system. For instance, vishnu's avatars all correspond to planets in our solar system( fish avatar to Kethu, buddha to mercury, etc.)

 

I was inquiring whether anybody could shed light on other deities, and their correspondence to planetary energies.

 

Thank you,

Aum namaha shivaya
