nakshatra

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

Astronomical constellations were visible all over world and different societies

and civilisations in different eras named them specific to their purpose and

requirements,

These constellations are strummed all over sky in all directions and these are

occupying irregular spaces in the sky. The nomenclature given to these

constellations in different eras indicate

the mental development of those civilisations in their eras.The Sixth

Fundamental catalogue

(FK6) PROVIDES THE MOST ACCURATE COORDINATES OF STARS THUS FAR. ACCORDING TO THE

IAU RESOLUTION ADOPTED IN 1973, THE ATTEMPT IS THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN CATALOGUE

AND DYNAMIC  EQUINOXES SHOULD REMAIN LESS THAN O.O4 " .

This is one part of the picture.

 

The second part of the picture is that the Nakshatra  has its own definition and

devised in India specifically for Astrological purposes , These are as under:

1. As MOON takes a round of the earth in  27.3 days , the ecliptic was divided

in 27

  equal arcs (sectors) of 13deg 20 min each.

2 First Nakshatra commences from a point opposite to Star Chitra (Spica 16),and

named as

   Acvani.As starting point of Acvani is fixed with respect to stars , these 27

Nakshatras

    are permanently linked with stellar zodiac , In spite of this they are

mathematical in nature as

     each Nakshatra covers an arc of 13deg.20 min.As such word Nakshatra is

specific

     to Indian astrology and put to use for specific purpose and specific

manner.

 3. There may be some different views on the  initial point of Nakshatra Acvini

, but in spite of these differences , the initial point is more or less adopted

opposite to Star Chitra.

 4. One Additional Nakshatra 'Abhijit ' was also introduced but without

disturbing thr basic

    concept and scheme of 27 Nakshatra's. Abhijit is carved out of two

Nakshatras.

5The method of use and purpose of both 27 and 28 Nakshatra schemes  are

different. Even

  advance student of astrology commit gross mistake in this regard and then

raise funny question.Indian Nakshatra 's has specific purpose and connotation

and they should not

 be confused with schemes of constellations use in different civilisations in

different eras..

6. Once 27 Nakshatra scheme was being used extensively, then 12 sidereal zodiac

signs

    were adopted in India linked with these 27 Nakshatras. This  also paved the

way for constructing the nativity of 12 houses at a later stage.
