Agni Nakshatra

[Guest guest]

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

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,
