# Orbits of the Planets and Sisumara The various configurations of the moon and other planets have positive and negative influences on living beings. This is what we commonly call the ‘influence of the stars.’ The sun rotates through the time circle of the zodiac, represented by twelve astrological signs, and assumes different names according to the sign it is in. Dhruvaloka, awarded to the exalted Dhruva Maharaja, continues to exist even when the universe is partially destroyed. It is recognised as the polestar and Lord Vishnu’s abode within this universe. Situated above the seven stars, it acts as a central pivot around which all the planetary systems revolve, impelled by eternal time. In Dhruvaloka are the planets of Agni, Indra, Prajapati, Kasyapa and Dharma, all of whom are very respectful to the great devotee Dhruva. Those who worship the Universal Form of the Lord (*virat-purusa*) conceive of this entire rotating system of planets as a dolphin-like animal known as *sisumara*. To concentrate their minds, yogis worship the Sisumara planetary system, which is technically known as the *kundalini-cakra*. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
