Meaning : I salute Sun (Divakara) who is red like hibiscus, who is born in kashyap family (pedigree), who is very bright and enemy of darkness and who destroys all sins. Essencs : The nine 'grahes' are not merely plantes or stars in physical sense. they are the power underlying the physical existence not merely nine but all the planets and stars in whole of the Universe. Here the word sun represents the source of not merely physical energy for photosynthesis by plants or heat but it indicates source of consciousness for the entire universe. As we rise in consciousness we

The sun is bright and hence enemy of darkness not merely in physical sense but in terms of being enemy of the darikness of ignorance. This prayer should prove useful to overcome slumber, inertia and inectivity. It should prove useful to overcome depression and frustration.

- 10. Meaning : I salute Moon. who is beautiful and radiant like curd, counch and dew-drops, who is born from the ocean of milk, who adoms the sign of rabbit and who beautifies the crown of Lord Shiva. Essence : The beautiful description of Moon is actually aimed to indicate that principle which is like the mind of the universal being or cosmic being. The cosmic mind is said to murture the plants (medicinal). this seems to be healing qualities imparted by it to the plants. Mind as a healer is well known all over the world. When we think of Moon principle at individual level, the three characteristics viz, being born in ocean of milk, having rabbit patch and beautifying the crown of Shiva all appear related to central nerous system, The mind is born from the well spread out white nerous system (ocean of milk) with gray matter (rabbit like dark patch) and the mind when clean really beautifies the crown of shive or Self in the individual. This prayer should strengthen the weak and fragile mind and fragile mind and emppower one to fight the difficult situation and conquer them.

Meaning : I salute young Mars who is born form the womb of earth, has the bright like that of the lightening and who has strong arms. Essence : According to Indian Astrology Mars represents the cosmic principle of firec and os supposed to be the causal for bravery, indusrtiaus- ness, dynamism, cataclysms, wild fires, epidemics, riots, cyclones and wars. The prayer is intended to regulate the fire principle and channelize it in constructive direction. This is akin to what is as RAJA principle. This prayer is likely to help all the condition which lower the metabolism and make the body slow, lethargic and weak. It can help activate all organs of the body by providing enrergy. Moreover, it is likely to control exicitement, anger and hyper activity of body systems.

Meaning : I salute sober natured Mars who look reddish dark and incomparably besutiful like the bud of Ashoka tree. Essence : This prayer is apparently related to the principle of wisdom and restraint. Gray point / suyggests gray matter of the brain which exerts restraint on otherwise intracteble and barnaric passion and temperament. Thus it is the governing principle of sobriety and grace.

Meaning : I salute the genius Jupiter who is the teacher of deities and rishis, who is golden in complexion amd who is master of all three planes of existence. Essence : This prayer is apparently offered to the genius of an indiviodual which governs all the centers in the brain and thereby govern all three levels of consciousness viz. dream, sleep and wakefulness. The golden complexion seems to indicate the trascendental light that governs every activity. This could also be representing reticular system in central nervous system, which determines the activity of all centers in brain.

Meaning : I salute Venus who is radiant like the srems of jasmine and snow, who is the best teacher of jasmine and snow is the best teacher of devils and who explains the discourses of science. Essance : This prayer offered to Venus seems to indicate the principle responsible for systematic governance of passions and instricts in nature. The sexual and physical vigor, which can be devilish are apparently governed by this principle for the benefit of universe. Struturally this may represent limbic system in brain. This prayer apperrs to result in invigoration, buoyancy, love and perpetuation of life and universe.

Meaning : I salute stable Saturn who has dark aura, who is the el- der brother of Yama and who is born from Sun and his "shaddow" viz. Chaayaa. Essence :This prayer offered to saturn appears to be a prayer to the deity (cosmic principle) of stability. If inadvertently expressed it can retard the progress. If appropriately expressed it can prevent abnormal and haphzard movement (going astrey and getting misled). The expresion
- 21. "Elder brother of Yama" seems to indicate the importance of stability in coordination of regulation of life & death represented by the principle or deity Yama. The expression "Son of Sun" seema to indicate that it has the power of light (activity) and darkness (inactivity) knowledge and ignorance. It may represent limits of growth, constancy of bioelectric potentials, negative feed back mechanisms in body.

Meaning : I salute the mighty and brave Rahu, who has half body, who harasses even moon and sun who is born from the womb of simhikaa. Essence : The prayer is offered to Rahu. Rahu is a point in space and time and when the orbit of Moon crosses that of the earth while Moon is passing from south to north of the equator of Earth. The Universe is full of wonders. The varity of entities (and deities) contribute to the panorama or orchestrta in the cosmos. What appear to be nagative and bad are also part of this orchestra. Hence for universal welfare prayer is offered to Rahu.
- 24. In mytology Rahu is said to be the son of Viprachitee and Simhika. These appear to be the symbols of two orbits the crossing of which produces Rahu so they may represent psychic forces responsible for mental clouding. Thus from individuals point of view Rahu appears to represent those point in space and time when an individual suffers from mental clolouding, confusion, amnesia and which can create a picture of being possessed by a ghost. However sleep, forgetfulnesss in appropriate limits promote health. Thus Rahu is said to be beneficial except in cetain circumstances, constellation (place in birth chart).

Meaning : I salute ketu who is red like the flower of parrot tree and who is like summit or pinnacle of stars and planets and who is fearsome. Essence : This prayer is offered to Ketu. Ketu is the point where the orbit of Moon crosses that of Earth. This point is where Moon crosses equator of earth from north to south. The Ketu appears to be principle of violence in nature/universe. The word Rudra connotes destruction. In universal as well as individual life destruction and violence are dreaded by most people. However violence & destruction are inseparable from the orchestra of universal events and individual life and when approprite they constitute essential and individual life and when appropriate they constitute essential and healht promoting aspect of life. One can find many processes of destruction described in the book of Embryology, Anatomy and Physiology. Hence it is more than appropriate to offer prayer to Ketu the regulator of violence in nature & individual life.
