#Swati #Nakshatra is the 15th Nakshatra as per Hindu #astrology in #Bootes #constellation.

Swati is ruled by #Vayu, the #God of the #Wind. The word for air (Vayu) or wind (Pavana) is one of the classical elements in Hinduism.

Pavan is also a common Hindu name. Pavana played an important role in Anjana’s begetting Hanuman as her child so Hanuman is also called Pavanaputra “son of Pavana” and Vāyuputra.

In the hymns, Vayu is “described as having ‘exceptional beauty’ and moving noisily in his shining coach, driven by two or forty-nine or one-thousand white and purple horses. A white banner is his main attribute.” Like the other atmospheric deities, he is a “fighter and destroyer”, “powerful and heroic.”

“Vayu, in his aspect of up lifter of oblation. This elevation of the heart is also worship, and thus the devas come near to faith, inspired by Vayu.”

Rig Veda 10, 151

Vāyu-Vāta is the Avestan language name of a dual-natured Zoroastrian divinity of the wind (Vayu) and of the atmosphere (Vata). The names are also used independently of one another, with ‘Vayu’ occurring more frequently than ‘Vata’, but even when used independently still representing the other aspect.

Both the words Vāta and Vāyu have almost identical meanings in Sanskrit or Vedic traditions. Although there is no god representing Vata in Vedic religion, there is the god Vayu representing air as mentioned above. The word Vata is still used today in many Indian languages to denote atmosphere. Atmosphere in Hindi, Marathi etc., is called Vatavaran.

In East Asian Buddhism, Vāyu is a Dharmapala and often classed as one of the Twelve Devas grouped together as directional guardians. He presides over the northwest direction.

In Japan, he is called “Fūten”. He is included with the other eleven devas, which include Taishakuten (Śakra/Indra), Katen (Agni), Enmaten (Yama), Rasetsuten (Nirṛti/Rākṣasa), Ishanaten (Īśāna), Bishamonten (Vaiśravaṇa/Kubera), Suiten (Varuna) Bonten (Brahmā), Jiten (Pṛthivī), Nitten (Sūrya/Āditya), and Gatten (Candra).
