#Purvaphalguni #nakshatra is the 11th nakshatra out of the total 27 #nakshatras. In Leo sun sign this nakshatra extends from 13-degree 20 minute to 26-degree 40 minute. The deity God of this nakshatra is ‘ #Aryaman’, who is one of the 12 sons of Sun’s mother Aditi.

Aryaman is one of the early #Vedic Hindu deities. His name signifies “Life-Partner”, “close friend”, “Partner”, “play-fellow” or “companion”. He is the third son of Aditi, the mother of the Adityas and is depicted as the mid-morning sun disk.

Aryaman is commonly invoked together with #Varuna- #Mitra, #Bhaga, #Bṛhaspati, and other Adityas and Asuras. According to Griffith, the #Rigveda also suggests that Aryaman is a supreme deity alongside Mitra and Varuna. According to the Rig Veda, Indra who is traditionally considered the most important deity in the Rig Veda is asked to obtain boons and gifts from Aryaman. Hindu marriage oaths are administered with an invocation to Aryaman being the witness to the event.

Purva Phalguni in the Vedic order is ruled by Aryaman, the God of contracts and unions. It gives the power of procreation (prajanana shakti). Its basis above is the wife or the female partner. Its basis below is the male or masculine partner. These together bring about the creation of the fetus

As per ancient reference in Hindu scriptures, the deities of Purva Phalguni (Aryaman) and #UttaraPhalguni (Bhaga) and both are closely linked. Both are intimately connected with marriage and its associated rewards and responsibilities. Aryaman upholds societal traditions and contracts made between two people, such as the wedding ceremony.

In the Avesta, Airyaman (or airiiaman) is both an Avestan language common noun as well as the proper name of a Zoroastrian divinity. Divinity Airyaman, who is the yazata of health and healing. The third Yasht, which is nominally a hymn to Asha Vahishta is for the greater part a praise of the airyaman ishyo, which in Zoroastrian tradition is an invocation of the divinity Airyaman.

The common meaning of airyaman/aryaman as “member of community” is preserved in both Avestan and Vedic sources.

In Indian Hindu wedding rituals, the wedding fire is referred to as the Aryaman fire. In any Hindu marriage rituals, you can find that newly wedded couples hold hands by circumambulating the Aryaman fire with seven steps and together they pledge each other “With these seven steps you have become my life partner. May I deserve your love and support and make you one with me.”
