My Dear Readers,

 

You are all well aware that I am writing commentary on " Maha Bharat " in

simple English and simple Telugu. You all know that all the human beings

are born in one star (Nakshatra) or other. We believe that our fate

depends on the stars (Nakshatras) in which we were born. If our stars

are not good and amicable, we do " Nakshatra Pooja " by employing some

priests. They perform " Nakshtra Pooja " on our behalf. Therefore, it is

better to know about the Nakshatras and their influence on the human

beings. In Krishna Yaju BraahmaNam, TruteeyaashTakam, Pradhama

PrapaaThakam, (Taittireeya BraahmaNam), there is a chapter called

" NakshatrEshTi " . In this NakshatrEshTi, there are 15 Deva Nakshatraas

and 15 Yama Nakshatraas. Generally, we count the Nakshatras from Asvini.

But actually, the counting of Nakshatras will begin from Krittikaa

Nakshatram. From Krittikaa to Visakha, they are called Deva Nakshatras.

From Anooraadha to BharaNi, they are called Yama Nakshatras. In the

above Brahmanam, it was so arranged that the Mantra for the

corresponding Nakshatra was given first. After giving mantras for all

the 27 nakshatras, the " IshTi " for the 27 nakshatras was given later.

Therefore, it is becoming difficult for the Upasaka or who perform pooja

or Japa of the concerned Nakshatra, to search for the ishTi for the

concerned nakshatra. Therefore, our Guru arranged the Nakshatras and the

IshTi, one below the other, so that we can perform the Japa of Nakshatra

and also the IshTi of the Nakshatra. For each nakshatra, there is one

adhishtaana devata. For example, for the first nakshatra Krittika, the

adhishtaana devata is Agni. First we chant the Mantra and worship Agni.

Then we do Ishti (satisfying the adhishtaana Devata, Agni). If we are

able to perform Homa, we can perform Homa and do IshTi. If it is not

convenient to perform Homa, it is sufficient if we chant IshTi along

with the Mantra.

 

For example, I was born in the nakshatra, " Visaakha " . It is the 14th

nakshatra. It is a Deva Nakshatra. The deities are " Indrudu and Agni " .

If I chant the Mantra for 108 times or, according to my convenience, any

number of times, and also chant the IshTi also, the concerned Nakshatra

and deity will be satisfied and shower his kind looks upon me, as a

result, I may feel happiness in my day to day life, or, atleast, I may

not land in unnecessary troubles. I hope this will help you to know

about your Nakshatra and also the way to satisfy the said Nakshatra.

Instead of employing some priests to perform Nakshatra Pooja or Japa, it

is better if we ourselves perform the Japa and Ishti and satisfy the

concerned Nakshatra so that, We will have satisfaction that we ourselves

performed the Japa for our

 

Nakshatra and perform Ishti to the said Nakshatra.
