Fw: [Vaideekam] Inauspicious nakshatrams

July 18, 2006

SrI:

Dear AasthikAs :

I am happy to forward the input of Sriman R.Venkata KrishNan

for our Lists .

I agree with Sriman VenkatakrishNan's views.

Many lives of girls have been ruined by these unsupportable

beliefs , which have no validity .

There are 27 Nakshathrams and it is unavoidable that

a significant portion of the population are born under these

Nakshathrams .To declare them as condemned at birth

is not an acceptable practise .

Many AchAryAs have been born under these "adverse "

nakshathrams . If we do research , we can prove

that there are lot of girl children born under these "adverse"

nakshathrams , who go on and excel in life and are model

wives . Please respect JyOthisham but do not succumb to

superstitions ; The ancient rishis identify the auspicious and

not so auspicious and recommend parihArams for the latter as

procedures to be followed .We have to look at the whole oicture

and not pieces.

I am planning to record Nakshathra Ghanam ( Ghanam way

of rendering the Vedic Salutations to the Nakshathrams soon )

and listening to that coupled with Surrender unto the sacred feet of the Lord

(SaraNAgathy thru a sadAchAryan) will help overcome all these

cruel pracises of discrimination because of accidents in times

of births particularly for girl children .It will banish the anxieties

for the parents as well .

NamO NaarAyaNAya ,

Re: [Vaideekam] Inauspicious nakshatrams

I take the liberty to answer the question. There may be knoledgeble people out here in this group. Kindly correct me if i am wrong.

The stars as such are not in aspecious as such. In the parashara hora shastra there is a mention about inaspecious birth and details the yoga and birth times that are considered inaspecious in terms of obtaining materialistic possessions or for the life expactancy. It has to be kept in mind that all the inaspeciousness is about the difficulties one would face during his life time. Remidies have been suggested by sage parashara himself for these kind of yogas and timing of birth. But i don't recall mention about nakshatras beeing inaspecious. God himself has taken birth in the nakshatras that are considered to be not so good, for example Rohini (Krishna Avatara), just to prove the point.

To answere in terms of astrology, It is the planetory positions, and the matching of the horoscopes that would decide rather than the nakshatra alone. It is more due to mis information and social stigma that people consider this way. My personal experience - while dealing with horoscopes of people (Being astrologer by hobby), I come across this openion of people that, Astrology is considered as a extrapolation of past incidents and people start extrapolating the experience they have to all other future events. In my humble openion astrology does not work that way. Though we are ignorant of the the logic or the path through which sage parashara and other eminent scholors correlated the events, there is a nice and logical scientific approach in interpreting the results. To answere your question, It is superstitous to believe that one nakshatra is bad and other is good. You can find vedic verses like "Chitra Nakshatram Bhavati" in Ashwamedha portion of Yahur Brahmana. But

still if something is bad it can not exist for long as God does not desire to create bad. He creates everything for our good as he is the Rakshaka.

[Vaideekam] Inauspicious nakshatrams

Respected Swamin

Many persons reject the horoscopes for alliance straight away on the

face of it, if the boy or girl is born on star Ayilyam, Moolam, Jeyshta

and Pooradam. I do face that harship having daughter for marriage.

While some say that star per se is not bad but a whole lot of other
