Though there are many, many divine incarnations, Hindu mythology gives primary importance to nine of them – one for each Graha. As a student of astrology it is well worth studying the lives of these Avataras as they shed some important light upon the nature of the Grahas. The lives of these Avataras are portrayed in the Srimad Bhagavatam, the reading of which is highly recommended as it provides spiritual, philosophical, psychological and even astronomical insights. For now, I will briefly describe the Avataras associated with the Grahas as there is much to be learned from the Avataras about the Grahas.
