Nakshtra Lordship Question ?

[Guest guest]

Hare Rama Krishna

Namaste Guru's and Learned Members,

While reading the Book: "Nakshatras" by Sri Subhakaran, I have come accross, various Nakshatras and thier Presiding Dieties and their Caste.

For Pushyami Nakshatra, the Presiding Diety is "Brihaspati" and the caste mentioned was Kshatriya. I thought Bribahaspati is a Brahmin, hence I got a doubt.

So can you please educate me, on why I am getting confusion with this.

Thanks for your help in Advance.

Dear Raghunadha,

The caste is of the *NAKSHATRA* and not of the deity. It is possible that a kshatriya can worship Brihaspati..one like Indra does this.

With best regards,
