1 QUICK REFERENCE PAPER TO NAVA GRAHA 9 PLANETS Temple dedicated to the planets, Omkarananda Ashram Rishikesh (INDIA) SUN It is our main source of vital energy and transformative energy. Its Light is the responsible for guiding us to higher realms of reality. The principle of cosmic intelligence behind everything is intensively active at the Sun. Power and renovation abilities are found in this important cosmic center. Consciousness evolution and personal growth are the inner aspects and functions related to this main Star. Sun has a divine correspondence to powerful deities as Agni, the Fire God and Shiva, transformative principle in creation. All subtleties of Fire are ruled by the Sun, from basic and primal absorption of reality through the senses to a topmost realization of spiritual identity. The reality as we experience in the material stage of consciousness is only possible due to its permission by removing ignorance (darkness). 1 Healing Stars An Astrological Approach by Arjun Das

3 MERCURY The messenger of Gods is here conveying its vibrant and jovial energy. The vedic literature informs us that the sublime aspect of this planet is associated with Sri Vishnu, the maintainer of creation. Vishnu is the reservoir of all active energy used for the entire manifestation. From other scriptures we are able to note that there is only one way to be really connected with this pure aspect of Divine Light, what is through devotion! This is why Tulsi is comfortably established as an option for refining Mercury s energy on us. Mercury also is strongly related to the knowledge, the information and the fresh aspect of sensory perception. The knowledge that reaches its maximum curve through love. In Caraka Samhita, the most authoritative text to Ayurveda, we find that citrus elements are the best options for stimulating brain and intellectual function, another important role of this planet. Tulsi Devotion Spearmint Gently Uplifting Lemon Sensory Alertness JUPITER This is a sacred section of Astrology. Jupiter is called Guru, the master. Its function is to digest the information previously received by Mercury and bring a subtler note of that knowledge, creating a vivid manifestation of wisdom. It is a pure sage dressed as a planet. It is a vibrant energy enabling us to reach deep level of realization through our spiritual path or sadhana. We expect expansion, creativity and joy when we are connected to this noble cosmic force. Holiness is a notorious face of Jupiter pattern and Nag Champa is a safe option for satisfying our inner guru.

4 VENUS There is no beauty without Venus. We are not able to consider the harmony of entire creation without connecting with this Planet on earth. It is Venus that pushes us to live and to experience compassion as a spontaneous act of living. This so delicate cosmic energy is a balm to our spirit and invites us to celebrate our steps in gratitude. Venus is the distilled love, much higher than passion, one of its primal energies too. Forgiveness is the result of intelligence, beauty and harmony. Everything is right at its own place and time, this is the message of Venus.

Meditation and deep realization through keen disposition towards the beauty of Life from the dry and cold moments of our desired maturity. Frankincense Meditative Myrrh Purifying Palo Santo Sacredness RAHU It is the gate to access our inner being collecting memories from long time ago. Our intentional secrets are stored under Rahu s care. The luminous aspect of our transformation into a new being is the main route of action from Rahu s energy. This is the planet that purifies our shadow side. Mother Durga, the deity associated with Rahu save us from our own inimical disposition. This is the most effective energy to clear our mind and inspire us to go further, walking consciously through Sadhana. Rahu is the door to remove our enemies and obstructions in our spiritual life.
