#SHRAVANA #NAKSHATRA
The #Star of #Inner #Wisdom
“Wisdom comes in silence,
where the sound
between the diversity of thoughts
is revealed.”

– Boonath

Each Nakshatra (lunar house) brings a particular energy into focus. The yogis tune into the stars and the #moon within their rituals and decode the soul – studying and freeing themselves of the impositions of illusory structures.

#Shravan Nakshatra pertains to themes of #sound, #hearing, #listening, #words, #language, #noise and all the themes that encompass the #throat #chakra.

Sometimes we starve to be heard,
Sometimes we starve for magic
because we do not hear.

‘Wisdom is simplicity’, it has been said. In the cacophonous themes that reverberate in the inner ear of excess consumption, along with the sounds of seemingly variegated dualisms, where can secret simplistic and magical wisdom lay her head? A head moist with Moon sweat.

Crocodiles & Snakes
Shravan Nakshatra encompasses #Makara, the #crocodile #constellation ( #Capricorn). It rules over #ancient things – the crocodile itself is an ancient creature.

The energy of Makara brought to us by Shravan reveals to us the echoes of sounds of the past. This Nakshatra of Shravan offers us an ear of listening, to revise the ancient lessons needed to be heard if we are to move into the secret sound of wisdom.

#Ananta #Shesha is the Naag king of Snakes. He is the 1000 headed serpent upon which #Vishnu – the ruler of this Nakshatra rests. Ananta is another name of this Nakshatra Of Shravan. Ananta is eternal. When disillusion of opposites comes, Ananta remains unchanged. He is the crown chakra beyond terrestrial reach – from which the Anahat Naad (original sound) emanates. Ananta Shesha was sent under the earth by the creator to hold the earth in place, he keeps balance and stops it falling into the sounds of duality.

The Silent Wisdom of Mauni
This coming New Moon is known by Tantrics as Mauni Amvasya – the Annual Tantric ritual night of silence. For thousands of years it has been kept as a silent time by Tantrics.

A time of #mantra and working with the inner-ear of the throat chakra to gain admittance to the inner word of words. A Mauni is a silent sage possessed of inner wisdom, the wisdom of both inner and outer sound. Language and noise can veil the more silent tones of wisdom. The Mauni is she or he who has stripped the forms of sound and gone to the naked music of the soul.

The practice of Mauna is the yogic technique of working with speech. Part of Mauna is to keep silence but it encompasses so much more and presents many inner practices of finding the magic inherent within sound.

When Mauni Amvasya falls under the Shravan Nakshatra it brings a major blessing: it can gift one with the clairaudience powers of Moon-infused flower dew.

The #Healing Science of #Flowers
Neelpadma is the blue lotus that rules the throat chakra. The Tantrics know that it flowers in twilight at dawn. If Neelpadma is found at the time when the New Moon is in Shravan Nakshatra, the moisture upon its petals is imbibed with power that can confer clairaudience to those who drink it.

This is the science of flowers
that the Siddhas keep alive.

Some lotuses bloom in the twilight of dawn and some in the twilight of dusk. The lunar house upon the full or new Moon at either dawn or dusk leaves healing moon milk-like dew drops upon her lotus petals. If the blue lotus Moon-milk is taken when the full moon is in Shravana, then it makes the physical ears hear much better and can cure hearing problems.

It is not a theory but a practice that can be verified by the Moon and flower practitioner.

Chandrapadmavidya
is the name of this mostly unwritten
& hidden science.
It means the wisdom of the Moon flowers.

Shravan Nakshatra is the farthest Nakshatra from the elliptical zodiacal belt and rules rare flowers. Far away and rare flowers that are ruled by this Nakshatra are medicinally harvested by Yogins when the Moon is in Shravan Nakshatra.

The Original Sound
The Yogin listens and hears the Anahat Naad – that is the sound of silence in-between the various sounds that bounce off the walls of our inner universe. The internal dialogues that repeat in our inner sanctum are what create our reality.

The Tantric axiom of ‘There is nothing out there’ reveals that there may be a lot ‘in there. The Anahat Naad is the nourishing sound. Ana means food and nourishment, Hat implies duality and Naad is sound. A balanced diet is indeed of psychic and physical necessity.

The Moon Bird
Shravan is the Star constellation of #Aquila. Aquila is the #eagle, Vishnu the ruling deity of this Nakshatra has as his Vahaanh (power animal) the eagle.

This is the Nakshatra of extreme #psychic sensitivitya d the throat chakra which is under its rulership. This Nakshatra is contained within Capricorn. When Shravan Nakshatra is in the lunar orbit, it brings an extreme sensitivity to sound – when in the new Moon then it brings awareness of inner sounds. The symbol of this Nakshatra is an Ear.

This is a good time to work
with mantra and observe silence.
Wisdom comes in silence,
where the linking sound
that lives between and within
the diversity of thoughts
is revealed and unveiled.

The energy of Shravan Nakshatra is the profound quality of taking in and listening. The ability of remembering and keeping information is brought by this star that rules the memory aspect of the Manas (division of mind). When this star creates a vortex with the new moon, then it draws issues around listening and hearing from us to look at. The lunar sway can go as deep as our souls, to draw clairaudience from the throat chakra.

Shravan’s lesson is all about hearing the unheard, forgotten and secret silver and gold intertwined thread that connects all things. This thread resonates mystical sound with the breath of innocence. When we are a storehouse of information in the spectrum of sound, then the dualisms and separations inherent in the codes of language and variegated principles, challenge us to hear the song of unity. Should the gold and silver threads end up untwining themselves – this is the loss of hearing the secret sound.

The Trimurti
The Trimurti are the 3 principle energies of creation, maintenance and destruction. These 3 qualities are ever present in all things. The energy beyond the middle, beginning and the end is the doorway that opens when the balance between them is established.

The energy beyond is a quality of mystic sound inherent within the 3 Trimurti energies. Neither a cry of birth, expressed by the mantra Hey, nor the death rattle expressed by the sound Ho. But the spirit between them.

The Nakshatra of Shravan is one of the 3 lunar houses that have their ruling planet as the Moon. The ruling deity of Shravan is Vishnu. Particularly in his form of Vaman, the dwarf god. Vishnu is the middle part of the Trimurti – he is the balancer between the energies of creation and destruction.

It is to be remembered that Shravan is symbolised as an ear, and it is the ear that keeps the sense of balance in the human system. Vishnu then, is like the cosmic ear. He is the maintaining energy that keeps equilibrium within the Cosmos.

The 3 steps
The constellation of Makara (Crocodile) encompasses Capricorn and is known as the Aquila star constellation. Aquila star constellation has 3 principle stars that are in a direct line and constitute Shravan Nakshatra. They are: Alshain, Altair and Tarazed. They are visible in high summer when they come alive.

Vishnu in his form of Vaman, the Dwarf God, takes 3 steps in the famous story where he defeats Mahabali who had taken over the 3 worlds. The steps that Vaman takes are the 3 stars. In one stride Vaman steps from the Tarazed star to the Alshain star, for the next step, Vaman follows his step and treads upon the head of Mahabali, the head of Mahabali represents the Altair star.

Mahabali is the middle and brightest star of the 3. The step upon the head gradually darkens the star and presses it into the underworld until it returns to its glory in high summer. At this part of the year that we are in now, the star reaches its deepest point of departure and Mahabali resumes his throne as lord of the underworld.

When Shravan Nakshatra
appears on Mauni Amvasya,
then Mahabali calls us
into the very depths of underworld sound.

The Ear of Shravan
The Ear of Shravan gives us a Vaak Siddhi which is the power of speech. Vaak Siddhi is linked to the tongue and how it is used. The Vaak Mudras are the mudras that work with the tongue as a means to access the inner ear at the throat chakra.

The throat chakra
is the ear of clairaudience
that admits us into the world of hearing the spirit calling.
It is the ear of finding the way home through the noise.

There is a wisdom of hearing beyond information that exists within us all. By tuning to the astral energies that rule that intersect with the spirit, we may see the effect they have upon us; we may see our reactions to effects; we may open doors within.

Central to Tantric practice is the tuning into the astral plane through focussed ritualised formulas. Reducing or extinguishing all impositions upon nature at twilight and sitting in simplicity and listening to the spirit beyond even silence – reveals a place of power.

#Uttara-bhadrapada #Nakshatra is the 26th of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the #moon was between 3:20-16:40 degrees #Pisces

#Sanskrit Name: उत्तरभाद्रपदा (Uttara-bhadrapada) comes from the Sanskrit words उत्तर (latter) and भद्र (blessed). One meaning of Uttara-bhadrapada is “the latter blessed one,” indicating wisdom, good fortune, and happiness.

Planetary Ruler: #Saturn. Saturn is the bestower of karmic reaction, the good or bad results of one’s past activities. It is associated with discipline, obstacles, hard work, and philosophy and law.

Nakshatra Group: Humanlike. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Uttara-bhadrapada is a humanlike nakshatra. People in this group are generally hardworking and motivated to achieve material success. Although they are generally kind, they can also be vindictive and self-serving.

Zodiac Sign: Pisces. Pisces is known as the sign of the fishes. Uttara-bhadra natives are intuitive, empathic, creative, and sociable.

Deity: #Ananta. In Vedic theology, Ananta is an expansion of God in the form of a great serpent who holds the unlimited universes upon his hoods.

Symbol: A #snake. This represents agility, knowledge, mysticism, and great energy.

Power: To bring rain. Persons born under the star of Uttara-bhadrapada have a refreshing and calming quality about them.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Uttara-bhadrapada are Do (दू), Tha (थ), Jha (झ), and Na (ञ). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Those born under the star of Uttara-bhadra are thoughtful and far-sighted souls. They understand that all actions have consequences, and they think their plans through carefully. This characteristic makes them much more self-controlled than other Pisceans.

Uttara-bhadra natives are capable speakers. Their contemplative nature gives their words weight and power. They are often progressive individuals who can convince others to come around to their own ideals, values, and beliefs. In addition, they are spiritually-inclined and have a natural connection to the metaphysical realm.

You are liberal and broad-minded. You stand up for the underdogs. At the same time, you also know when to remove yourself from a complicated situation. This strength protects you from getting caught up in useless arguments that can strain and even break friendships and relationships. However, to others, this quality may cause you to appear dispassionate or cold at times.

Uttara-bhadrapada Careers
Persons born in Uttara-bhadrapada can do well in careers that are stable and service-oriented. They have a need for a certain degree of autonomy in their career.

Some ideal professions include:

Professor, psychologist, or philosopher
Non-profit worker or humanitarian
Healer, counselor, yoga teacher, monk, or mystic
Librarian
Weaknesses
Due to their intellectual nature, Uttara-bhadras can sometimes over-analyze people or situations. In extreme cases, this can lead to a habit of manipulating others for personal gain. Always remember that there is more to life than can be seen through the intellectual / scientific lens. Emotions, sensations, tastes, and so many other dimensions of human life transcend their materialistic explanation. By finding and staying true to your personal sense of purpose, you will be able to consistently treat others with warmth and kindness.

Uttara-bhadrapada natives may also exhibit laziness at times. They prefer to have things come together naturally, and they don’t like to exert great effort to accomplish something. For this reason, they are sometimes irresponsible, or they perform their duties in a half-hearted way.

You may wish to isolate yourself and withdraw from the world if you cannot see a favorable path forward. It is important for you to stay connected with people who genuinely care about you, especially mentors or elders who can give you guidance during difficult times.

You are patient. You understand the value of taking your time with your work, and you don’t like to rush things. This quality also helps you to remain peaceful even in disturbing or difficult situations.

You are drawn to the unknown. Your strong intellect combined with your natural inclination toward spirituality leads you to take an active interest in the mysteries of human life.

Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

#Uttarabhadra’s Four Quarters ( #Padas)
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters, also known as padas, of 3:20 degrees each. These quarters are based on a 1/9th divisional chart, known in Sanskrit as navamsha.

The moon’s position at your time of birth determines the quarter in which you are born.

First Quarter (3:20-6:40 degrees Pisces): Leo. You have a royal air about you. You are ambitious and self-confident. However, you may find yourself frequently butting heads with those who see things differently than you do.

Second Quarter (6:40-10:00 degrees Pisces): Virgo. You are a knowledgeable person and an eager learner. You are highly curious and you enjoy exploring a wide variety of subjects.

Third Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Pisces): Libra. You are happy, open-minded, and warm-hearted. However you can be somewhat calculating in your interpersonal dealings. You choose your words carefully.

Fourth Quarter (13:20-16:40 degrees Pisces): Scorpio. You have a sharp mind and you may keep to yourself more than others. You can be irritable at times and you may prefer to take the easy road rather than working hard to reach your goals.

Uttara-bhadrapada in Electional Astrology
In electional astrology, also known as muhurtha, nakshatras are used to determine favorable days and times for important ceremonies and events, such as weddings, buying a new house or vehicle, commencing a project, or conceiving a child.
