|Om Namo Bhagavate Balabhadraaya|Dear Rao,

Heres what i've written on Nakshatras with regards to Muhurta. This will be

presented in the Weekend Workshop on Muhurta, where the 4 other parts of the

Pancha-anga will be covered as well.

You will find it enlightening i hope. Also please correct me if there are any errors:

1.1.1 Basis of Nakshatra

In 27 days + 7¾ of an hour the Moon makes one lunar revolution around the earth.

This lunar return was understood by the Rishi’s and was used to determine the 28

Nakshatra’s beginning from Aries. The 28th Nakshatra, which only occupies 7¾

hours of the day was called Abhijit, and is an intercalary Nakshatra. This

Nakshatra is said to be lorded by Vishnu as it progresses up to the Noon

(Vishnu Gayatri of the day) and is hence the highest and most spiritual

Nakshatra. For mundane purposes the Rishi’s thus excluded this nakshatra from

their calculations, hence giving us 27 Nakshatra’s to determine the results of

human behaviour.

It should be carefully understood that the Nakshatra’s are determined by the

Moon’s movement, and are hence considered as lorded by the Moon. This gives us

some insight into the role of the Nakshatra’s. Parasara states: “sarvaatmaa cha

divaanaatho manaH kumudabaandhavaH” meaning: “the soul is lorded by the Sun,

whilst the lotus-friend lords the manas”. It so happens that “lotus-friend” is

another name for the Moon.

Hence the Moon lords the ‘manas’. An appropriate translation of ‘manas’ is “the

object which interacts between the senses and the intellect”, i.e. the mind!

Hence; the Moon lords the mind, and its Nakshatra is used to see how the mind is

disposed. An ill disposed mind can result in uncontrollable behavior leading to

diseases and wrong doings.

For an activity or organization, the ‘manas’ can be translated as the link

between the governing body (leaders, authorities) and the objects of actions

(the ones who carry out the work). Thus the Nakshatra of the Moon must be

carefully assessed to see which attitude the Muhurta will progress. I.e. will

it happen aggressively and without much control, or will it be peaceful and

progress with stability.Best wishesVisti---Sri Jagannath Center:

Dear Rao,

For Nakshatras, you can refer to Nakshtras Part 1 and 2 by Sri Shubhakaran.(

Sagar Publications ).But here I will give you some more informations.As the

matter is very big, I will be giving you about each Nakshatra everyday.

As we know there are 27 Nakshatras or groups of Nakshatras and 28th is called as

Abhijit whcih extends from 276 deg.40' to 280 deg.54'13" of the zodiac.

ASHWINI : They are the twin children of Surya and Samjna Devi in the form of

horses.They are called as the Vaidyas of Devathas and they used to cure any

ailment for Devathas.But in the zodiac,this Nakshatra is in group of 3 in the

form of a horse face.It has 10 names according to Muhurta Chintamani.They are

Ashwi,Dasrah,Turangamah,Turagah,Ashwah,Adyah,Vaaji,Hayah,Turangah,Harih.

Significators of Ashwini Nakshatra in Jyotishya:

1) tourism,vehicles and Import & Export,

2) Manufacture of medicines,

3) Helping each other and indicative of strength,

4) Good for the development of medicinal herbs,

5) Indicative of Preta Badha removal,

6) Indicative of miracles,

7) Indicative of Sanyasa,

8) Indicative of Horse Races,

9) The most best medicinal herb Ashwa Gandhi is connected to this Nakshatra,

10 ) It is the 1st Nakshatra in the zodiac with the shape of horse face.

The following industries /business are connected to Ashwini Nakshatra :

Iron and Steel,Copper,intoxicating drinks,cigarette,snuff,groundnut,ginger,black

pepper,garlic,chemicals,bricks,cement,different stones,tiles,,concrete

works,porcelain and mining

industries,machineries,armaments,petrol,gold,silk,wool,twin cereals,wheat,roots

under the earth,different kinds of pulses,fertilisers,medical and drugs business

and firy industries.

Karaka for Ashwini nakshatra :

trainers and horse riders,businessmen,handsome men,all equipments connected to

road,different kind of businessmen,balance,veternery

If a girl's first menses becomes in this nakshatra,she will be fortunate,good

married life,will get good husband,will get good male children,of kind

character,will experice all kind of comforts and luxuries,will be respected by

her relatives and devoted to her husband.

For this Nakshatra people,Kartika month,Shasti Tithi,Sundays,Makha nakshatra

days and when Chandra is transiting over Mesha Rasi are evils and anything new

should not be started in the above periods by this Nakshatra people.

There are so many things are written in Nakshatra Chudamani by Padmanabha Daivajna.

Finally when a child is born on this Ashwini Nakshatra,on the 11th day,the

parents have to chant the following Shloka 108 times and give rice,jaggery on

donation ,then the evil effects of this Nakshatra will be nullified :

Very nice delineation of Nakshatra. I have heard (not confronted yet ) that

vedic astrology has unique treasure of nakshatra vidya, but there is not

sufficient material on web, specially those covering nakshatra phalam, esortic

meanings and application in Mahurtam.

I hope your this effort would fill the said vacuum.

I am waiting for the rest of the episodes of Nakshatra series, you have started.

Even this series can be compiled as a good ready reference for learners of

Jyotish.

Warm Regards

M.IMRAN
