Every planet has got a specific karakatva. Like Moon is emotions. Jupiter is Apara Vidya (Spiritual Knowledge), Venus is Para Vidya and material world, Sun is Power and Govt. etc.

@SeverusSnape @Pandya @Panibotal @Arka1998 @hanugm @Kulfy @LuckyPashu @RakeshJoshi @Ram @VedantaNewBie @YDS @user1952500 Will you guys be able to join for weekly discussion on Upanishads or Vedas or Puranas? We are thinking to start it every Thursday evening.

What I was looking for the science written by the rishis, I just found a few hints in prabhupada's book of the bhagwad gita, that quoted techniques like the 'jalpa' . ...
@SeverusSnape Let's take this an example: Lets say somebody found a verse posted on some random blog and they are looking for reference of that verse from scripture. In that case they can use the tag.
Similarly it can be used for the reference of stories or any event which may have occurred in itihasa or Puranas reference

We as Hindus are encouraged to worship our own Ista devata but are told that there are over 330 million Gods whose blessing we seek during auspicious like weddings, etc. Where do we get this number from? Is this derived from Vedas or other scripts? Is there a list of names for all the 330 million...
