Guest guest Report post Posted May 22, 2003 Om Gurave Namah Om Namo Narayanaya Dear List What is Agni nakshatra? Why is it during this period the Sun's heat is felt more on earth? Astrologically, what does this indicate? Why is it during Agni nakshatra period, good and auspicious matters are generally avoided? Does this mean that in a chart, bhava/significations associated with Sun are likely to be impacted during this period? Sincerely R.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 28, 2003 SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAM JAGAT AUM GURUBYO NAMAH Dear Kasthuri and Vyasan, The Nakshatra deity for the Nakshatra Krittika is Agni. Transit of Sun over Krittika is the period specifically referred to as Agni Nakshatra. Krittika Nakshatra is supposed to be a cluster of 6 stars and that are believed to be the sparks of fire from the third eye of the Lord Shiva. It was the Shiva agni which burnt out Kama when he tried to disturb the penance of the Lord Shiva. There is a underlying tatva behind it. It is believed that Lord Skanda emerged from the fire of the third eye of the Lord Shiva. Lord Skanda is gyana personified. Karma is born out of Kama which induces the search for happiness outside, while Gyana is born out of the inner fire which burns out the Kama. Kama induces a person to commit mistakes like disturbing a tapaswi/interwening in others life etc. Lord Subramanya is also called as Kadirkama(Kadir = sun; Kama = venus) meaning the lord who takes up the job of combustion of venus and helps in the dawn of Gyana. Gyana is born out of tapas and not out of kama. The space ( Akaasa) between the two eyebrows is called as Agya chakra which is the seat of Guru(hum beeja - hamsa maha purusha yoga can be understood from this). Lord Skanda is also called as Gurupara. As per his dictates/agya inner life and aananda results. Is it not a fact when the Sun scorches people remain indoors! When the Gyanasurya burns, the outer search for happiness ends. The heat is unbearable. When a tapaswi is disturbed the result is unbearable. Can we perform marriage and other auspicious activities in front of a disturbed tapaswi! Shiva is also called as Mangala. When the mangala is disturbed no activities related to mangala(auspicious) is performed. AUM SHANTHI SHANTHI SHANTHIHI. Happily/happy to be yours, psramanrayanan Himalayan holiday!
