Tatva for Ardra Nakshatra

[Guest guest]

Respected List members,

 

In the Brhat Nakshatra book (those of you who attended the

Nakshatra Conference or have a copy) the Ardra Nakshatra is

said to have Manas Tatva (Page 47). I am familiar with the

Agni, Vayu, Akash, Prithvi and Jala tatvas. Does Ardra belong

to any of these Tatvas ? Similarly Sravana Nakshatra has the

Manas Tatva.

 

Can anyone please explain the Manas Tatva if it is one of the

five Tatvas or is it something different.

 

Thanks

Dear Saimohan,

 

There are '24-tattva' and '36-tattva' and may be some 'other' schemes

that you may explore from various Philosophies (Samkhya, Vedanta

etc.). Manas tattva belongs to the group of atma-tattvas which are

subtler than the gross 5 tattvas you have mentioned below. It is

relatively more sukshama than akasha tattva (that corresponds to the

Vishuddhi Chakra)and the other 4 tattvas grosser than akasha.

The Manas Tattva corresponds to the region of Ajna Chakra.

Infact, there is also a manas-chakra described as one a bit above the

ajna chakra.

 

Best Regards,

SS
