LORD VISHNU and the NAVGRAHAS

It is said that the Navgrahas are actually the Avtaars of  Lord Vishnu himself - Bhagwan Narayan.

1. Surya Bhagwan - Like Lord Ram (Suryavanshi)

2. Chandra Bhagwan - Like Lord Krishna (Chandravanshi)

3. Mangal Bhagwan - Like Lord Narasimha (Hot, Lion-Headed Warrior)

4. Rahu Bhagwan - Like Lord Vraha (the Boar - who rescued BhoomiDevi)

5. Guru Bhagwan - Like Lord Vaman (the dwarf Brahmin - who grew, grew  and enveloped the 3 worlds)

6. Shani Bhagwan - Like Lord Kurma the tortoise, slow moving but the winner at the end. Helped in the difficult Samudra Manthan where the devas and asuras had both failed.

7. Budha Bhagwan -  Like Lord Buddha himself makes one enlightened by knowledge.

8. Ketu Bhagwan - Like Lord Matsya saved the sacred scriptures/vedas and mankind from pralay.

9. Sukra Bhagwan - Like Lord Parshuram - killed thousands of kshatriyas as per his karma.
