Vedic Names of Grahas ( 2nd post )
Moon = Chandra => cha (mind)+indra(king)
Moon is CHANDRA which rules the mind.
What are the traits of a real un-afflicted mind which has realised GOD ?
A man, possessing such a mind, will LOVE all without any discrimination.
An enlightened mind has no enemy. An enlightened mind is driven by pure LOVE ( not lust).
So calling moon by HIS name CHANDRA is equivalent to inviting the pure divine energy to rule our mind and fill us with the feeling of UNIVERSAL LOVE.
Sun = SURYA => Su(good)+Arya(man)
Now who is Su+Arya ?
Obviously, a man who always upholds his DHARMA.
So when you call Sun by HIS vedic name Surya, you are praising HIM for HIS divine ability to always follow HIS dharma ( duties). So calling SUN by the name Surya is basically equivalent to activating that divine ability of Surya within you.
How many of us can always (in any cicumstance) follow our DHARMA?
Think.... Contempalate
Vedic Names of Planets (grahas)
Knowing the planets ( grahas) by their Vedic names.
Vedic names of grahas have been selected by the Ancient Sages ( rishis), these names convey deep POSITIVE meanings about them.. so if you call a graha by its Vedic (sanskrit) name, you are actually welcoming that graha's POSITIVITY in your life...
