Lesson 06: Grahas...

Rishis called planet as "Graha" as per Sanskrit language...

In Sanskrit Graha means 'which captures'... which indicates, Grahas are capturing something... What they are capturing?

Grahas are capturing the unstable minds of human beings on the Earth !!!

People with stable mind and with divine will power cannot be captured by the Grahas... and thus these people conquer the effects of rays of the Planets... Grahas play with the weak minds a lot, and keep those people in their grips and make them their slaves... How to conquer these Grahas is not under the scope of our discussion...

So, Rishis considered Rahu and Ketu as Grahas according to the above notion...
Rahu and Ketu are just two points physically with no mass and volume but they are capturing the minds of Human Beings... Saints considered anything which is visible or not visible, as a Graha, if it can capture the mind of a being..

Saints had every genuine reason behind their thought... So we should never underestimate them and should strictly follow their fundamental concepts as blindly as possible...

How Grahas are capturing the minds of human beings?
Grahas can effect our minds, in tune with their inner nature...

"Inner Nature"...

Yes every planet is having its inner nature and some qualities...

When the minds of the human beings are under pressure, Grahas overtake those minds and induce their inner nature into those minds accordingly...

Suppose when the mind of a person is out of control due to an event causing irritation, then the Planet Mars with its inner nature of 'Anger' try to overtake that person's mind and thus controlling that person...

Moon plays with our Emotions... Saturn with our Fears and so on...

We must learn these qualities of each planet as deep as possible...

I will discuss in depth the nature of each Graha and how it can induce the same in human beings...

Saints used their yogic powers to learn these qualities...

And we must follow them blindly...
