Within this wave, the higher dimensional Crystal Soul Collective translating its energies into 3D perception through the Earth’s crystalline qualities, brings many loving service attributes through the storage, transmission and amplification capacities of crystals.</p><p>Crystals holding 3D forms are inherently imbued with higher dimensional vibrations (as are the crystalline structures within all life) and when approached with unconditional love, align effortlessly with higher dimensional realms (including direct alignments with Core Crystals within lightships) and with loving human intentions and focus. The crystalline properties within physicality, within our earthly bodies, vibrate naturally with, toward and into what is known and experienced as the ‘crystalline light body’ state of 5D, as those properties increasingly activate from latency into their full vibrant ability for holding renewed ‘goldenprint of life’ frequencies, amplifying through love, transmitting fully loving consciousness through all aspects of soul embodiment.</p><p>Coming into October 2018, the Crystal Soul Collective focusing and journeying with Gaia’s ascension (the planet’s return to a unified higher vibrational expression) anchored and flowed an immense stream of blue-green light connected with freeing the Divine Inner Child presence within humanity and throughout the Earth light-grids, which expressed through to 3D form in the crystalline vibrations of Green Flourite, Green Aventurine and Aquamarine in particular. Coming into November, the Divine Child energy, in harmony and convergence with the<span> </span><a href="https://heartstar.org/2018/05/25/new-earth-grid-update/" target="_blank"><strong>New Earth Grid</strong></a><span> </span>(the Earth’s meridian network that circulates chi/life energy through and around the planetary field, combined with the crystalline heart grid and unity consciousness grid) is being anchored, imprinted and established more deeply into the collective consciousness field ~ peaking through the 11-11-11 Gateway (11th day of the 11th month of an 11 year, where 2+0+1+8=11), then facilitating major Light inflows later in November and December.</p><p>Guidance coming into this Gateway shows the Twin Pillars of the 11 within/as rays of Golden and Blue Light, through which the pearlescent soft Rose-White Peace Light of the<span> </span><a href="https://heartstar.org/2013/11/01/the-tenth-ray-welcome-to-peace-integration/" target="_blank"><strong>Tenth Ray</strong></a><span> </span>flows and centres. Many crystals in the green and blue hues have been gathered in the nodes in the garden here (nodes are crossing points of meridian flow lines, here on a long meridian running north-south through the Darling Range in Western Australia, crossing one of the major flow lines that streams like a sine wave around the planet, called the Belinus Line where it has been mapped in Britain). As November came in, so has a stream of crystals in blue and golden vibrations, and their energies flow through the photos below, if you’d like to connect with them. (You don’t need a garden or nodes to work with crystals and sacred geometric patterns, you can always set up a sacred crystal love-node, whether small or large scale, in your home as a crystalline light anchorpoint).</p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00285.jpg?w=351&h=269&zoom=2" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00285.jpg?w=351&h=269&zoom=2" class="align-center" width="411" height="315" alt="dsc00285.jpg?w=351&h=269&zoom=2" /></a></p><p>When we bring a loving, open heart into honouring and co-creating with the Crystal Collective(s), they are joyously willing and able to connect and stream their wonderful array of high vibrational qualities through the crystals they overlight, merging and melding with our intentions…so always come to crystals with pure love, aligning your energies to serve the Whole, for the well-being of All. Also, rather than viewing a crystal as a passive vessel we’re imbuing our will and intention into, when coming from the heart we can feel our role as facilitating the Light of the Crystal Soul Collective to focus, expand and express in optimal ways for Gaia and all life here, in confluence with the ascending frequencies, in unity with us and all beings of goodwill.</p><div class="tiled-gallery type-rectangular"><div class="gallery-row"><div class="gallery-group images-1"><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc09921.jpg?w=272&h=279&zoom=2" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc09921.jpg?w=272&h=279&zoom=2" class="align-center" width="284" height="291" alt="dsc09921.jpg?w=272&h=279&zoom=2" /></a></div><div class="gallery-group images-1"><span>Crystals can store, anchor, lift and shift vibrations, and as an example, the beautiful lemon citrine pictured above and below with ‘blue-green friends’ arrived as a totally clear light yellow colour, then within two days in a node, formed translucent bands of soft, wispy aqua and green as it connected and embraced the blue-green energies being anchored and transmitted powerfully through October via the green flourite, aventurine and aquamarine crystals gathered in the node’s centre. Then as the energies began to shift in preparation for the deep blue and gold light flow aligning through the 11-11-11, sky blue and deep blue light could be seen swirling within the citrine, concentrating into its hexagonal tip (the photos are unaltered, colour as it appeared).</span></div><div class="gallery-group images-1"><span><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00133.jpg?w=142&h=142&crop=1&zoom=2" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00133.jpg?w=142&h=142&crop=1&zoom=2&width=209" width="209" class="align-center" alt="dsc00133.jpg?w=142&h=142&crop=1&zoom=2&width=209" /></a></span></div></div></div><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00285.jpg?w=351&h=269&zoom=2" target="_blank"></a></p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00135.jpg?w=142&h=142&crop=1&zoom=2" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00135.jpg?w=142&h=142&crop=1&zoom=2" class="align-center" width="211" height="211" alt="dsc00135.jpg?w=142&h=142&crop=1&zoom=2" /></a></p><p>This metamorphosing citrine arrived just before a crystal pillar blending aqua and golden hues together, an aquamarine and heliodor ‘wand’ from eastern Siberia, carrying vibrational imprints from that region (and further north, the Arctic circle), of an era almost completely forgotten by humanity at a conscious level, very slightly represented in ancient Greek myths as a fabled northern immortal realm of ‘Hyperborea’ (‘over/beyond the north’).</p><p>We’ll go into this in more detail soon, but for now, I’d like to share that while meditating with this Siberian crystal, many visions came through of that vibrational realm, and a period millions of years ago in linear time that lived on within it, with specific qualities associated at the physical level with the attributes of RNA (if you haven’t much about RNA, there’s a scientific hypothesis that an ‘RNA world’ of life based on mutable, metamorphic attributes preceded the DNA helix lattice stage which holds information in fixed, stabilized forms; see<span> </span><a href="https://heartstar.org/2015/03/19/spiralling-in-from-the-rna-world/" target="_blank"><strong>this post</strong></a><span> </span>and<span> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_world" target="_blank"><strong>this article</strong></a>).</p><p>This mutable, transforming quality is an inherent aspect of raising/changing the subtle and physical layers of the planetary body and all life forms traversing this Shift….and in relation to the aquamarine-heliodor wand pictured below, merging blue, gold and green light frequencies within its structure, holding it while sleeping, I dreamed of shapeshifting beings, beings of pure love whose form appearance can shift simply in accordance with their energies. I woke with images of swans and selkies (seal-human shapeshifting beings remembered in northern myths), with vibrations of the stars Sirius, Arcturus, Albireo (binary star in the head of Cygnus, the Swan constellation) and Polaris.</p><p>The Polarins project through ‘seal’ energies, and often represent as the faces of seals in clouds overhead when they’re present here. Yesterday, Star Family aligned through the aquamarine-heliodor, citrine, a beautiful lemon topaz, aquamarine and labradorite to make a crystal light essence…with lights and codes running through the crystals (the citrine again swirling with royal blue).</p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00345.jpg?w=390&h=313&zoom=2" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00345.jpg?w=390&h=313&zoom=2" class="align-center" width="382" height="306" alt="dsc00345.jpg?w=390&h=313&zoom=2" /></a></p><p><span>And as Polaris came through, the beautiful profile face of seal formed in blue-green, carrying forward the ‘inner child freedom’ energies, its eye looking straight into the tip of the aquamarine-heliodor crystal.</span></p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00337-copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/dsc00337-copy.jpg" class="align-center" width="386" height="277" alt="dsc00337-copy.jpg" /></a></p><p>Polaris and its planets went through much ‘polar-ity’, that culminated in higher transformations, and as the earth’s current Pole Star/North Star, Polaris has a particular role in transmitting the dynamics of the type of vibrational shift underway here on Earth now (see<span> </span><a href="https://heartstar.org/2017/09/15/the-north-star/" target="_blank"><strong>this post</strong></a><span> </span>for more about Polaris).</p><p>We’ll end with a quick word about clearing crystals, as like humans, in the etheric/lower astral levels of their vibrational field, crystals can also sometimes become imprinted with dense, heavy energies and entities not aligned to unconditional Love. Feeling through the inner sense of your heart will clarify/reveal to you the vibrational state of a crystal….but if you’re unsure, or not yet wholly confident in your intuitive sensing of energies, then we suggest bathing your crystal friends in the Violet Flame (clears and transforms all energies to love), then Golden Flame to reset their vibration, coming from total love in your heart and being, holding the intention of aligning with your highest vibrational soul family/guiding lights…and ask that any entities attached to the crystals not aligned with the highest good be guided to their perfect healing place. Physically, bathing crystals in sunshine (and salty water), and for some, in full moon-light, assists in purifying and uplifting their vibrations. Most important though is radiating Love to them, through the inner Heart Star you are. <span> </span></p><p>Much Love, Light and Joy to you All,</p><p>Joanna&Ashura,&Tanabor</p><p></p><p></p><p><span>*</span><em>There’s a<span> </span><a href="https://lovelightmeditationcircle.org/2018/11/10/11-11-11-gateway-meditation/" target="_blank"><strong>DNA-RNA Activation meditation</strong><span> </span></a>posted at the LoveLight Circle for the 11-11-11 Gateway.

One constellation experiencing this completion is Ursa Minor, the Little Bear or Phoenix Bear, of which Polaris ~ Earth’s North Star or Pole Star ~ is the alpha star. Ursa Minor has numerous inhabited planets; some were already in high vibrational states ~ the Rokadians and Rosarins are closely connected to the Arcturians, with Angelic higher soul aspects, also akin to the Spicans of Virgo, in these areas that are cradles, we could say, of the <a href="https://heartstar.org/2017/04/25/the-house-of-meraia/" target="_blank"><strong>House of Meraia</strong></a>.</p><p>Soul groups around Polaris in flux between the lower fourth and fifth dimensions have come into full rebirth, remembrance and clarity about their ‘true north’…and as Polaris and our sun Solaris have a direct vibrational relationship, with an axial relationship to Earth, this remembrance is also flowing to the collective consciousness field of our ascending planet. Many light beings of Ursa Minor have arrived to assist with anchoring this deeper clarity, as they flow with the Rokadian mothership, <em>Silveray</em>. During August, I dreamed and had visions of silver-white ray-shaped ships (the Rokadians gave the image of manta rays and the ray species in our oceans as 3D reflections of this Polarin form and energy), which are part of the fleet of small ships flying with the <em>Silveray</em>. They first appeared in photos like this, on August 6th:</p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08526-copy-2.jpg?w=584" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08526-copy-2.jpg?w=584" class="align-center" alt="dsc08526-copy-2.jpg?w=584" /></a></p><p><em> Alpha Centauri & Southern Cross constellations, with a ray ship upper right, Aug. 6 2017.</em></p><p><span><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08526-copy.jpg?w=311&h=266" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08526-copy.jpg?w=311&h=266" class="align-center" alt="dsc08526-copy.jpg?w=311&h=266" /></a></span></p><p></p><p><span>This ship appeared seconds after the appearance of an ’emerald door’ near Alpha Centauri, and a green-blue ‘band’ (5-6D frequency band) showing the presence of Arcturian and Rokadian star family during a powerful Gate of the Heart activation just before the peak of the </span><a href="https://heartstar.org/2017/08/06/8-8-aligning-the-lions-gate/" target="_blank"><strong>Lion’s Gate</strong></a><span> of the 8-8, August 8th (note the figure 8/Infinity symbol on the left end of the band, representing the eternal timeless moment through which Divine Love flows, infinitely):</span></p><p><span><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08522-copy-2.jpg?w=584" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08522-copy-2.jpg?w=584" class="align-center" alt="dsc08522-copy-2.jpg?w=584" /></a></span></p><p><em> Emerald green door appears left of Alpha Centauri & Southern Cross, Aug. 6, 2017.</em></p><p><span><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08523-copy-2.jpg?w=584" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08523-copy-2.jpg?w=584" class="align-center" alt="dsc08523-copy-2.jpg?w=584" /></a></span></p><p><em> Arcturian & Rokadian souls in a ‘high frequency band’ upper right, close to the position where the ray ship then appeared, Aug.6, 2017.</em></p><p><span><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08522-copy-3.jpg?w=254&h=253" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08522-copy-3.jpg?w=254&h=253" class="align-center" alt="dsc08522-copy-3.jpg?w=254&h=253" /></a></span></p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08523-copy.jpg?w=322&h=253" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08523-copy.jpg?w=322&h=253" class="align-center" alt="dsc08523-copy.jpg?w=322&h=253" /></a></p><p><span>Four days later, a ray ship appeared cloud-cloaked hovering above a bank of clouds:</span></p><p><span><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08618-copy.jpg?w=450&h=280" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08618-copy.jpg?w=450&h=280" class="align-center" alt="dsc08618-copy.jpg?w=450&h=280" /></a></span></p><p><em> Cloud-cloaked ray ship appears August 10, 2017.</em></p><p></p><p><span><span>On August 13th, a Rokadian ray appeared much more clearly vibrating a ray-like lightform beneath a cloud (photo taken at my friends Rob & Shelley Hartland’s home ~ their photos of ships, orbs and lightforms can be found at </span><a href="http://wispyclouds.net/" target="_blank"><strong>wispyclouds.net</strong></a><span>):</span></span></p><p></p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08712-copy-21.jpg?w=584" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08712-copy-21.jpg?w=584" class="align-center" alt="dsc08712-copy-21.jpg?w=584" /></a></p><p><em> Rokadian ray hovers beneath a cloud, August 13, 2017.</em></p><p></p><p><span><span>These ray ships were watched over that day by huge whale-like beings of light; here you can see the eyes of one of them close to the ship above, full of love:</span></span></p><p></p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08714-copy-copy.jpg?w=584" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08714-copy-copy.jpg?w=584" class="align-center" alt="dsc08714-copy-copy.jpg?w=584" /></a></p><p>This focused light from star family groups of Polaris/Ursa Minor is amplified and enhanced by the restoration of a beautiful higher dimensional crystal. The Rosara Crystal, a large purple crystal with a cherry pink core, vibrating in sixth to tenth dimensional frequencies, is encoded with the quality of <em>cherishment</em>; it transmits the vibration of cherishing all beings, cherishing one’s self, cherishing life freely, cherishing the Divine ~ of going beyond attachment (love filtered through the conditional ego-self) to cherishment (love flowing unconditionally through the soul), which is the basis of emotional freedom.</p><p>The Rosara Crystal is among many sacred crystals released from Kamura as the hub there was transformed, one of nine former Core Crystals of ancient motherships (ancient from a linear perspective). Along with fifty-six crystals from diverse star systems ~ some being shards of the original Lyran Portal, others gifted from sister galaxies and universes and now being returned to their homes ~ these nine have been purified, healed and re-aligned to their original Light on board the <em>Phoenix</em>, and can be utilized to regenerate their lightships, of which the <em>Silveray</em> is the first to be recreated. So the <em>Silveray</em>, and the ray ships flying with it, are continuously beaming this cherishing energy of the Rosara Crystal….and come with immense joy through the Polaris~Solaris flow to radiate this purple-cherry ray through the high light grids around the Earth, for all. Let your heart feel these colours, with the geometries of Metatron’s Cube and the vesica piscis, to attune with the Rosara Crystal’s light vibrations:</p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/big-vesica-pisces-violet-aa-metatron-copy1.png?w=724&h=212" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/big-vesica-pisces-violet-aa-metatron-copy1.png?w=724&h=212" class="align-center" alt="big-vesica-pisces-violet-aa-metatron-copy1.png?w=724&h=212" /></a></p><p>In this vibration of cherishing ~ Love’s tenderest warm embrace ~ beyond ego-attachment, with the melting away of anxiety, worry or fixed focus on possession and security that comes with it, in this eternal embrace, it is <em>easy</em> to be like Polaris…to be the still centre-point amid the swirl of the lower density storm, no matter how intense it becomes….to be centered in your axis-alignment to your soul’s ‘true north’ and simply BE a convergence point for pure Love, Light and Life. Being in this centre-point allows the soft, light, warm energies of the higher dimensions to take root in our reality, to anchor and become <em>present</em> to us (in both senses of the word, as the present moment, our Now, and as a gift we’re open to receive and share naturally).</p><p>In this vibration, we enter the Emerald Doorway of the Inner Heart, and align with the Golden Gate of resurrection that dwells in every atom and spiral of our DNA, ready to receive and encompass all that we Are.</p><p><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08983-copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08983-copy.jpg" class="align-center" alt="dsc08983-copy.jpg" /></a></p><p><em> This Gateway, white above, golden below ~ ascension and resurrection ~ formed overhead on August 26, 2017.</em></p><p><span><a href="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08983-copy-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://heartstardotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/dsc08983-copy-2.jpg" class="align-center" alt="dsc08983-copy-2.jpg" /></a></span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span>Namaste ~ the Imperishable Flame of Source within us honours the Imperishable Flame of Source within you and within all Life.</span></p><p>With Love and Cherishment,</p><p>Joanna&Ashura, &Tanabor </p><p></p><p><em>*for an example of a Rosara Crystal ‘cherish’ meditation, see <a href="https://lovelightmeditationcircle.org/2017/08/26/sunday-meditation-august-27/" target="_blank"><strong>this post</strong></a>…feel free to adapt it as you wish, in the spirit of Love, be creative. </em></p><p><em>*see the <a href="https://heartstar.org/inner-heart/" target="_blank"><strong>Inner Heart page</strong></a> for guidance on stepping into your inner heart realm.</em></p></div>Why Polaris?https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/why-polaris2012-01-15T22:00:00.000Z2012-01-15T22:00:00.000ZNirmamahttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/Nirmama<div><p><span><span><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/polestar.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-505 align-center" title="Polestar Polaris" src="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/polestar.jpg?w=150&h=100" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a></span></span></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span><br /></span></div><p><strong><em>Why is Polaris, aka Polestar, North star so significant?</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>The following quotes are taken from ancient Vedic literature, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam:</em></strong></p><p><span><a href="http://vedabase.com/en/sb/9/16/24" target="_blank"><span>SB 9.16.24</span></a>: The seven stars revolving around the POLESTAR at the zenith are called <em>saptarṣi-maṇḍala</em>.

These seven stars are seen every night, and they each make a complete orbit around the POLESTAR within twenty-four hours. Along with these seven stars, all the others stars also orbit from east to west. The upper portion of the universe is called the north, and the lower portion is called the south. Even in our ordinary dealings, while studying a map, we regard the upper portion of the map as north.</span></p><p><span><a href="http://vedabase.com/en/sb/5/23/1" target="_blank"><span>SB 5.23.1</span></a>: Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: My dear King, 1,300,000 yojanas [10,400,000 miles] above the planets of the seven sages is the place that learned scholars describe as the <strong>abode of Lord Viṣṇu</strong>. There the son of Mahārāja Uttānapāda, the great devotee Mahārāja Dhruva, still resides as the life source of all the living entities who live until the end of the creation. Agni, Indra, Prajāpati, Kaśyapa and Dharma all assemble there to offer him honor and respectful obeisances. They circumambulate him with their right sides toward him. I have already described the glorious activities of Mahārāja Dhruva [in the Fourth Canto of <em>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</em>].</span></p><p><span><a href="http://vedabase.com/en/sb/5/23/2" target="_blank"><span>SB 5.23.2</span></a>: Established by the supreme will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the POLESTAR, which is the planet of Mahārāja Dhruva, constantly shines as the central pivot for all the stars and planets. The unsleeping, invisible, most powerful time factor causes these luminaries to revolve around the POLESTAR without cessation.</span></p><p><span><a href="http://vedabase.com/en/sb/5/23/3" target="_blank"><span>SB 5.23.3</span></a>: When bulls are yoked together and tied to a central post to thresh rice, they tread around that pivot without deviating from their proper positions — one bull being closest to the post, another in the middle, and a third on the outside. Similarly, <strong>all the planets and all the hundreds and thousands of stars revolve around the POLESTAR</strong>, the planet of Mahārāja Dhruva, in their respective orbits, some higher and some lower. Fastened by the Supreme Personality of Godhead to the machine of material nature according to the results of their fruitive acts, they are driven around the POLESTAR by the wind and will continue to be so until the end of creation. These planets float in the air within the vast sky, just as clouds with hundreds of tons of water float in the air or as the great <em>śyena</em> eagles, due to the results of past activities, fly high in the sky and have no chance of falling to the ground.</span></p><p><span><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/polaris.jpg"></a><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/polaris.jpg?w=300&h=200" target="_blank"><img src="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/polaris.jpg?w=300&h=200&width=250" width="250" class="align-center" alt="polaris.jpg?w=300&h=200&width=250" /></a></span></p><p><br /> <span><em><strong>WHO IS Dhruva Mahārāja?</strong></em></span><br /> <span><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dhruva-meditates.jpg"><span><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-485 align-full" title="Dhruva meditates" src="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dhruva-meditates.jpg?w=104&h=150" alt="" width="104" height="150" /></span></a></span></p><p><span><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dhruva-meditates.jpg"></a>Dhruva Mahārāja was son of king Uttānapāda who had two wives. Aggrieved at the harsh words of his stepmother, who told him that he was not qualified to sit on his father’s lap nor the kings’s throne, at the age of only five years, Dhruva went to the forest at the age of only five years and under Narada Muni’s direction underwent severe austerity. Narada Muni gave him precise instructions on how to perform devotional service to Supreme Personality of Godhead. Because Dhruva was completely determined and fixed in his vow, after undergoing austerity for six months, Lord Visnu appeared before him granting him a kingdom on earth, and after death a planet called Polestar which is actually Viṣṇuloka (abode of Lord Viṣṇu within this material world which continues to exist even after the dissolution of all other planets, and it is worshiped by all other planetary systems).</span></p><p><span><em>Here is what the Lord said to Dhruva at that moment:</em></span><br /> <span><a href="http://vedabase.com/en/sb/4/9/20-21" target="_blank"><span>SB 4.9.20-21</span></a>: The Supreme Personality of Godhead continued: My dear Dhruva, I shall award you the glowing planet known as the POLESTAR, which will continue to exist even after the dissolution at the end of the millennium. No one has ever ruled this planet, which is surrounded by all the solar systems, planets and stars. <strong>All the luminaries in the sky circumambulate this planet</strong>, just as bulls tread around a central pole for the purpose of crushing grains. Keeping the POLESTAR to their right, all the stars inhabited by the great sages like Dharma, Agni, Kaśyapa and Śukra circumambulate this planet, which continues to exist even after the dissolution of all others.</span></p><p><span><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dhruva-meets-visnu0021.jpg"><span><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-491" title="Dhruva meets Visnu" src="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dhruva-meets-visnu0021.jpg?w=113&h=150" alt="" width="113" height="150" /></span></a></span></p><p><span><em>From the purport:</em></span><br /> <span><strong>Dhruvaloka, or the POLESTAR, is the abode of Lord Viṣṇu within this material world.</strong> Upon it there is an ocean of milk, and within that ocean there is an island known as Śvetadvīpa. It is clearly indicated that this planet is situated above the seven planetary systems of the <em>ṛṣis</em>, and <strong>because this planet is Viṣṇuloka, it is worshiped by all other planetary systems</strong>. It may be questioned here what will happen to the planet known as Dhruvaloka at the time of the dissolution of this universe. The answer is simple: Dhruvaloka remains, like other Vaikuṇṭhalokas beyond this universe. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura has commented in this connection that the very word <em>nāvartate</em> indicates that this planet is eternal.</span></p><p><span><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dhruva-on-spaceship.jpg"></a><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dhruva-on-spaceship.jpg?w=150&h=109" target="_blank"><img src="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dhruva-on-spaceship.jpg?w=150&h=109&width=150" width="150" class="align-center" alt="dhruva-on-spaceship.jpg?w=150&h=109&width=150" /></a></span></p><p><span><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dhruva-on-spaceship.jpg"></a><em>Entire story on how King Dhruva was taken to Polestar, i.e. back to Godhead, read here</em>:<span><a href="http://vedabase.com/en/sb/4/12" target="_blank"><span>http://vedabase.com/en/sb/4/12</span></a></span></span></p><p><span><span><br /></span></span></p><p><span><a href="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/polaris-polestar.jpg"><span><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-506 align-center" title="Polaris Polestar" src="http://coraskywalker.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/polaris-polestar.jpg?w=300&h=186" alt="" width="300" height="186" /></span></a></span></p><p><span><span><br /></span></span></p><p><span><span>From: <a href="http://coraskywalker.wordpress.com/why-polaris/">http://coraskywalker.wordpress.com/why-polaris/</a></span></span></p><p><span><span><br /></span></span></p><p></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span><span><a href="http://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/polaris.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/polaris.jpg" alt="polaris.jpg" /></a></span></span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span><span><a href="http://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/polaris.jpg" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.astronomy.net/graphics/constellations/ursa_minor.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.astronomy.net/graphics/constellations/ursa_minor.gif?width=450" width="450" alt="ursa_minor.gif?width=450" /></a></span></span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span><span><a href="http://www.astronomy.net/graphics/constellations/ursa_minor.gif" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.redorbit.com/media/uploads/2004/10/3_a2c4fdaf5bf976e69d1456b42dd2ff742.jpg?width=450" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.redorbit.com/media/uploads/2004/10/3_a2c4fdaf5bf976e69d1456b42dd2ff742.jpg?width=400" width="400" alt="3_a2c4fdaf5bf976e69d1456b42dd2ff742.jpg?width=400" /></a><br /></span></span></p></div>
