He has seized nine symbols so far, and at the end of Kaliyuga, the tenth incarnation will descend to Earth, known as Kalki. However, the incarnations of Lord Vishnu are also associated with the 9 celestial planets. Let us see the list of 9 major incarnations of Lord Vishnu and which planet they represent.
The incarnations of Lord Vishnu are associated with the celestial planets.
9 incarnations of Lord Vishnu and their relation with 9 planets
- Matsya Avatar – During the Matsya Avatar, Lord Vishnu saved the first man Vaivasvata Manu and seven sages during the great flood and, aboard his boat, brought a representative sample of every species of plant and animal to the newly created planet. , Imagine Matsya as a giant fish or, in a more anthropomorphic sense, as a human torso attached to a fish tail.
Relation with planet Ketu – Lord Vishnu took the incarnation of Matsya to save Manu from the terrible flood. After this, Manu started a new cycle of creation. Ketu is the planet of end and beginning.
- Kurma Avatar – Since the word “Kurma” means “tortoise”, “Kurmaavatar” means “incarnation of Lord Vishnu in the form of a tortoise.” At that time Lord Vishnu was in his second incarnation. In this incarnation, Lord Vishnu churned the milky ocean with his stick to generate nectar, working with gods and demons alike. Lord Vishnu took other measures to ensure that the demons did not get the nectar.
Relation to Saturn – During the “Samudra Manthan”, Lord Vishnu took the form of a tortoise and carried the entire universe on his back. Saturn is the most misinterpreted planet. We have associated Saturn with delays and obstacles. But if you let Saturn work on you, it will provide the best help and quality in daily life! Since obstacles are an essential part of every heroic story, Saturn is the one who turns you into a hero!
- Varaha Avatar – Varaha Avatar is the third incarnation of Lord Vishnu. In the guise of Varaha, Lord Vishnu came to save the earth (incarnated as Goddess Bhudevi) from the evil Hiranyaksha, who had kidnapped him and hidden him in the pristine waters. After killing the demon, Varaha used his teeth to pull the earth out of the water, returning Bhudevi to her proper position in the universe.
Relation with Rahu – Lord Vishnu took the form of a boar to save Mother Earth from being stolen by Hiranyaksha. Rahu can protect and preserve the universe only when it is working as per its higher guidance. Rahu is also related to the energy of Goddess Durga. When we worship Varaha Avatar, we enhance our Rahu energy and employ it wisely.
- Narasimha Avatar – Narasimha, the fourth incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, was a human-lion hybrid. The demon Hiranyakashyap was granted a great blessing by Lord Brahma, which prohibited him from killing any living thing, including humans or animals, in any environment, day or night, on earth or in space, and with a living or inanimate weapon. Had stopped. , During his incarnation, Lord Vishnu assumed a human body but retained his lion’s head and claws. When the demon’s claws were cut off, it was already evening and he was lying on his thighs at the entrance of the courtyard.
Relation with Mars – Lord Vishnu took the form of angry Narasimha for the sake of his devotee Prahlad. The “divine anger” that is needed to subdue the abominable is the energy of Narasimha. By worshiping Lord Narasimha our “Mangal” energy is transformed and given grandeur.
- Vamana Avatar – Vamana was the dwarf incarnation of the fifth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This is the first instance of an incarnation appearing in human form and carrying a wooden umbrella. When Vaman avatar Vishnu descended from heaven, Indra’s authority over heaven was reestablished.
Association with Jupiter – The Vamana avatar may contradict the widespread concept of Jupiter being the largest among a comparatively large number of planets. But do you remember the story where Vamana calculated the entire universe in three steps? It is suggested that we respect Vamana Avatar to improve our Jupiter energy.
6.Parashuram Avatar – Parashuram was the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Lord Shiva provided an ax to Parashurama, son of Jamadagni and Renuka, as payment for his penance. He was the first Hindu Brahmin and Kshatriya (warrior-saint) who combined the duties of both castes.
Relationship with Venus – Venus is the planet of beauty, relationships, material comfort etc. Shukra also often refers to Shukra, the master of demons. When the evil forces surrender before Parashurama, he leads them to the path of virtue and God. Therefore, worshiping Lord Parashuram strengthens the position of planet Venus.
- Ram Avatar – Lord Ram is born in the house of King Dasharatha in Treta Yuga. He is credited with building Ram Setu as we know it today and is the hero of the epic Ramayana. Lord Ram is also called Maryada Purushottam and he has qualities like truth, discipline and knowledge.
Association with the Sun – Since the word Rama means “light”, it is appropriately associated with the Royal Sun, which sustains the universe by giving light and life. By worshiping Lord Rama we increase the sun-oriented energy of our life.
- Krishna Avatar – This was the ninth time when Lord Vishnu took the form of Krishna. Lord Krishna was the ninth child of Devaki and Vasudeva. He is considered an incarnation or incarnation of a deity in the Hindu Vaishnava faith.
Relation to Moon – There is no person who can match the brilliance and grace of Lord Krishna. It is important to remember that Lord Krishna was born in Rohini Nakshatra, which is the Moon sign of Taurus, where the Moon is exalted! Worshiping Lord Krishna awakens the primal lunar energy which permeates all aspects of our society.
- Buddha Avatar – Buddha was born in this particular Kaliyuga to preach harmony, peace and nirvana through introspection and enlightenment.
Relation with Mercury – Buddha symbolizes intelligence, prudence, logic, detachment and logic – elements on which solid mercury depends. By loving the Buddha, you can transform your chaotic energy and focus it on a higher ideal.
