Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I forgot to mention unlike the 13.20 degrees alloted to the 27 nakshatras, Abhijit spans only 4.14 degrees and help adjusting the sidereal time difference, it has total 19 Ghatis, One Ghati is equal to 24 minutes. Some more on Nakschatras - PANCHAKA : The following five Nakshatras are considered as having five types of doshas - Dhanistha, Shatabhisha, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada and Revati. MOOLA : Jyestha, Aashlesha, Revati, Mool, Magha and Ashwini Nakshatra are not considered as auspicious for the pacification of this " Moola Nakshatra " , some specific rites are performed 27th days after the birth when the same Nakshatra returns. Out of these six Nakshatras, which constitute Moola Nakshatra, Jyeshtha and Moola are called " Gandant Moola' and Aashlesha is called as " Sarpa Moola " . ADHOMUKHA : Moola, Aashlesha, Vishakha, Kritika, Purvaphalguni, Purvashadha, Purvabhadrapada, Bharani and Magha. DAGDHA : For commencement of any work, this Nakshatra is considered as inauspicious. Therefore, commencing any work in this Nakshatra is prohibited Bharani, Chitra, Uttarashadha,Dhanishtha,Uttaraphalguni,Jyeshtha, Revati. regards, Lalit.
