A quotation from Russell, Bertrand

I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Autobiography, Vol 3: 1944-1969, “Postscript” (1969)

A quotation from Russell, Bertrand

When I come to my own beliefs, I find myself quite unable to discern any purpose in the universe, and still more unable to wish to discern one. Those who imagine that the course of cosmic evolution is slowly leading up to some consummation pleasing to the Creator, are logically committed (though they usually fail to realize this) to the view that the Creator is not omnipotent or, if He were omnipotent, He could decree the end without troubling about means.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
“Is There a God?” (1952)

#Vishakha #nakshatra

Just as the branches of a tree spread, so are the people of Vishakha Nakshatra, who have the quality of being conservative as well as being open to new ideas.

Vishakha Nakshatra is the 16th Nakshatra in the Zodiac belt, spanning from 20°00′ Libra to 03°20′ Scorpio, with Jupiter as its ruling planet. It is also known as the #Star of #Purpose.

The nakshatra is also represented as ‘thorny’ or ‘two-branched,’ a symbol of #duality in its #nature. The descendants of #Agni, the natives of Vishakha Nakshatra are full of vigour and vitality. They represent the best of both worlds. Along with being a believer in conservative ways, they are also great at adopting new and progressive ways of life.

The glimpse of Vishakha Nakshatra

#Jupiter is their ruling planet and we can see that effect in them too.

They are prone to drug and alcohol addictions, and they are also totally self. Instead of appreciating what they have, they are always obsessed with what they do not have!

Vishakha is ruled by Nakshatra, #Indra and Agni which signifies power, status and authority. Hence this nakshatra also has the same characteristics as its ruling forces. Vishakha Nakshatra is known to denote purpose.

Visakha Nakshatra natives have optimistic personalities and thus bring a sense of joy and celebration wherever they go. They respect the opinions of others and give them due importance and consideration, and this behavioural trait makes them good listeners and learners. They are religious, but they do not blindly follow religious rituals and procedures, are prone to drug and alcohol addictions, and are also extremely self-conscious. Instead of appreciating what they have, they are always focused on what they do not have!

Positive indications

This Nakshatra’s inhabitants are quick and eager to learn new things; as a result of this positive trait, they prefer more inclination towards modern practises and dislike orthodox procedures and beliefs. They have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, and they are very focused. One of their positive characteristics is their determination to do something they have decided to do, and they will work extremely hard and go to any length to achieve their goals.

Negative Characteristics

When describing the negative characteristics of natives of this nakshatra, it is important to note that due to their intense focus on achieving their goals, any negative influence on them may lead to them succumbing to unsocial elements and practices such as drug abuse, sex, and alcohol addiction. They are restless by nature and are never satisfied with their accomplishments. This negative trait may lead to frustration and constant worry about what they lack, rather than enjoying what they have.

Vishaka residents have an odd habit of making simple things complicated and the other way around, and they frequently achieve their goals by creating problems and obstacles for themselves. Their never-ending search for something new leads them to the profound truth.

Interests in a Career

These people have a wide range of career interests. They are natural orators who can captivate audiences with their captivating speeches. He has a proclivity to enter the political arena as a result of this ability. Other career options with a high likelihood of success include independent business, the administrative sector, teaching, and high-responsibility work such as mathematician.

A quotation from Coffin, William Sloane

Make love your aim, not biblical inerrancy, nor purity nor obedience to holiness codes. Make love your aim, for

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels” — musicians, poets, preachers, you are being addressed.
“and though I … understand all mysteries, and all knowledge” — professors, your turn,
“and though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor” — radicals take note;
“and though I give my body to be burned” — the very stuff of heroism;
“and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.” (1 Cor. 13:1-3 KJV).

I doubt if any other scriptures of the world there is a more radical statement of ethics. If we fail in love, we fail in all things else.

William Sloane Coffin, Jr. (1924-2006) American minister, social activist
Credo, ch. 1 (2004)

#Vishaka (200°00′ to 210°00′ Libra to 210°00′ to 213°20′ Scorpio)

In the night sky, Vishaka #nakshatra consists of four stars in the #constellation of #Libra: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Iota Librae. These stars form a "forked branch" and can be seen under the bright star Spica. In #astrology, Vishaka bridges the signs of Libra and #Scorpio. It is referred to as a nakshatra of #purpose because it gives determination and a single-pointed focus. People born under Vishaka often find themselves at a crossroads. Once they choose a direction, they have the ambition, along with the patience to succeed, even if success arrives later in life. This #star fuels competition and also gives excellent leadership abilities. Vishaka nakshatra is a combination of its ruling deities, the mighty #Indra and the purifying #Agni. Thus, people born under Vishaka nakshatra have passionate and courageous warrior energy.

Sacred Energy Vortex
#Tirumalai #Murugan #Koil #Temple

The temple connected to the energy of Vishakha star is located in Tirunelveli District, near the village Sengottai in Tamil Nadu, India. It is called Tirumalai Murugan Koil. This temple is situated on the Tirumalai hill with several steps leading up to the shrine. This sacred temple is also known by the names Panmozhi, Panpozhi, Panpuli and Tirupathi. Lord Vishnu gave his blessing for Lord Muruga to reside in this sacred site. This temple also reveals a special relationship between Lord Muruga and Sabbari malai Ayyappan. There is a holy temple for Ayyappan (the son of Lord #Shiva and #Mohini, the female incarnation of Lord Vishnu) located nearby in Sabhari Malai, Kerala.

Tirumalai Murugan Koil contains powerful energies with the capacity to cure diseases. There are rare medicinal herbs available at this temple. One such herb, Oda Valli, produces a remedy for venomous snake bites and other ailments caused by poison. The Thala herbs present at Tirumalai also have healing medicinal properties. In addition to remedial herbs, a special pooja performed with thirty-two different oils will assist with recovery from disease or illness. One must first rinse in the pool at Tirumalai and then walk around the temple with the oil lamp. This offering produces thirty-two types of healing energy.

Those people born under Vishakha nakshatra should visit this temple and present an offering of light to Lord Muruga. Tirumalai has special light rays that form a powerful energy called Vishakha Jothi. This energy is contained within the Vishakha star. Those born under other birth stars may also visit Tirumalai for healing energies. The ancestral ritual of tarpanam may be conducted as well. The Skandha Goshta Pithrus (ancestors) reside in the divine steps of Tirumalai Murgan Koil, so offering tarpanam here will bring blessings to your ancestors.

Vishaka nakshatra natives, your #incense is made with the #herb #Wood-Apple as prescribed by the Vedas.

Burning one of these pillars is like performing a mini fire ritual for that particular star formation. For your specific Birthstar, you will be able to connect inwardly to your planet of energetic origin and gain support with the positive aspects that are you.

Burning the other Nakshatra pillars on that specific Nakshatra day will tune you in with the favorable activities with that star’s energy for the day. It is recommended to at least burn your own personal Nakshatra pillar daily to stay connected to your essence. It is advantageous to burn the days Nakshatra pillar as well.
