Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 Dear Anjaneya and Pt Sanjay Rath, Regarding the gotra as given by BV Raman in Prasna Marga: >1. Marichi Gotra- Aswini, Pubba, Swati, Abhijit >2. Vasistha - Bharani, Aslesha, Visakha, Sravana >3. Angirasa - Krittika, Makha, Anuradha, Dhanistha >4. Atri - Rohini, Pubba, Jyestha, Shatabhisaj >5. Pulaha - Mrigashira, Uttara, Moola, Poorva Bhadra >6. Kretu - Punarvasu, Chitta, Uttarasadha, Revati Here the gotra of Pulastya is missing, however is we interpolate the missing nakshatras, it seems to be correct. The first Pubba should be Pushya, the second Poorva Phalguni. However, from experience I have found that the nakshatras Bharani and Hastha belong to the same gotra. This can only be explained by a retroversion of the nakshatras between Dhanistha and Krittika. As is said in scripture (cf. 'Mysteries of the Sacred Universe' by Thompson): Lord Brahma used to measure out time starting from the nakshatra of Dhanistha, which he had to re-calculate from Krttika, when Abhijit left the sky and when they ascended to heaven, thus reversing the gotra lordship over the other nakshatra.
