14 April, 2024 Sunday Shashthi #White Maa #Katyayani Puja

The sixth day of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Maa Katyayani and signifies cheerfulness and joy. Believed to be the destroyer of all evil, she is seen as a warrior goddess who was able to bring peace to the world.

Maa Katyayani is one of the fiercest forms of Goddess Durga. She is also known as Mahishasurmardini (Killer of Mahishasura), as she was able to defeat and kill the evil demon Mahishasura.

It is told that long ago there was a sage by the name of Katyayana. He was a huge devotee of Goddess Shakti and spent days and nights in prayer. Sage Katyayana always wished for #Goddess #Shakti be born as his daughter.

During this period, an evil demon named Mahishasura was creating great trouble for the Gods. As the days went by, he gained more power and the Gods were increasingly worried about him. They prayed to Goddess Shakti and asked her to save them from the wrath of Mahishasura.

Goddess Shakti decided to take #birth on #Earth and end the reign of Mahishasura. She granted the wish of Sage Katyayana and was born on Earth as his daughter. She grew up to be a strong, beautiful fighter and came to be known as Katyayani, the daughter of Katyayana.

One day, two messengers of Mahishasura - Chandha and Mundha - saw Katyayani and were mesmerized by her beauty. They went back to their master and told him all about Katyayani Upon hearing this, Mahishasura got very happy and immediately asked another of his messenger - Dundubhi - to go and talk to Katyayani.

Dundubhi met Katyayani and told her all about Mahishasura. He told her about his greatness and boasted about how Mahishasura was the now the ruler of all three worlds. He told Katyayani that she should marry Mahishasura as they would make a great couple.

Katyayani smiled and told Dundubhi that according to her family tradition, Mahishasura must first defeat her in battle. Only then can they both get married. Dundubhi went back to Mahishaura and told him about this challenge. Mahishasura agreed and soon the preparations began.

A fierce battle took place between Katyayani and Mahishasura. She managed to defeat his demon soldiers and even killed most of them. When Katyayani and Mahishasura came face to face, he transformed himself into a buffalo. This proved to be a real challenge for Katyayani as she struggled to fight him.

However, Katyayani tricked Mahishasura and climbed onto his back. He was surprised by this move and tried very hard to shake her off, but failed. Katyayani then placed her foot on the back of Mahishasura’s neck, pierced him with her Trishul (trident) and cut his head off.

This is how Maa Katyayani killed the evil and powerful demon Mahishasura. In doing so, she saved the Gods from his menace and brought peace back into this world.

Goddess of the Sixth Day of #Navratri
Since, Maa Katyayani defeated and killed Mahishasura, she is also known as Mahishasurmardini. In many parts of India, unmarried girls often observe fasts and pray to Maa Katyayani in order to get a loving and caring husband.

She is an incarnation of Goddess #Durga and is depicted as having four hands. She holds a #lotus in two hands, a #sword in one and blesses her devotees with the fourth hand. It is believed that she protects her devotees from all kinds of evil and blesses them with #happiness and #joy.

Natives born in Revati Nakshatra in #Astrology are sensitive, compassionate, caring, giving, selfless in nature, lover of small pets, independent, unaffected by pressure, calm and centred, soft-spoken, extremely deep and spiritual, dreamy, imaginative, intuitive, believing in the inner voice and reflective in nature, understanding the larger scope, detached from the earthly plane, possess a great spiritual understanding and are well educated.

#Revati #nakshatra in astrology is one of Tiryaka Mukhi #Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras with their mouths curved). In these Nakshatras, things related to roads, dams, the expansion of metals, chariots, boats, etc., can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: A Mrudhangam (Indian Drums)

The symbol for Revati is #Mrudhangam or #drum. This indicates that the babies can recognize your voice because they know it since they are in the womb.

Deity: The #Pushan

Pushan is the deity of Revati Nakshatra. Pushan is one of the Aadhithya. He is a God of meetings. He is responsible for marriages, journeys, paths, and cattle feeding.

He conducts souls to other worlds or from another world to this world. He protected travellers from bandits and wild beasts. He also protected men from being exploited by other men. He is a protector of livestock. Goats pull his chariot.

The yoni animal of Revati Nakshatra is a #female #elephant.
Like Bharani Nakshatra, these people are also all about protecting and guarding.
A female elephant is the most dangerous next to a female bear.
They will stomp in the ground until there is nothing left of you if you even come ¼ of a mile close to their calf.
Never mess with a Bharani or a Revati mother. Elephants are big, bulky, huge, and when elephants run or stampede, the ground shakes.
Elephants have an excellent memory.
They will never forget what right or wrong you did to them.
They could take revenge on you or hug you 30 years later if you met them by chance.
Elephants are family animals and have partners, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.
When one dies, they all come to the burial ground because elephants actually know to dig the ground to bury their dead family and relatives on rare occasions.
The elephant is an animal with a human heart.
They can consume 50 gallons of water and 200- 600 pounds of food per day. Elephants are slow walkers, walking on toes and are very protective of their young ones, as well as to everyone they know.
Elephants are known for their beautiful tusks, but it also costs them their lives for which they are killed.
Purva Ashada, Uttara Ashada, and Revati people will always have issues with their teeth, especially Revati natives.
Revati natives are extremely protective of their families and children. They lash out at everyone trying to come after them.
They usually take time to do their work, and they do not like to be disturbed or irritated.
If you do anything wrong with Revati/Bharani natives, they will remind you of what you did to them even after 30 years; they can be your best friend and close family member at times but will hint that they still remember what you did to them years back.
Elephants have tusks, which are their teeth. Revati natives will have long teeth and usually some issues with the teeth, which is karma due to what has been happening with elephants in nature for thousands of years as people are hurting them for their tusks.
This translates into Revati people even having a botched job with a dentist at one point in life where they would undergo several procedures to get their teeth corrected.
The symbolism of this Nakshatra is the drum and two fishes, which is also related to the Pisces sign.
The drum symbol is because this Nakshatra’s deity is Pushan, the Lord of wild animals, and Shiva himself is the Lord of wild animals.
Revati is connected with the sound of Shiva in terms of music, which is the Damru.
Revati natives are involved in music, dance or poetry, but there is one thing about Damru, the drum, which was used when major news announcements were made in a village or the arrival of an important individual.
Revati natives will always sound the alarm for cruelty against animals in social media, mainstream media, or personal groups.
They are extremely against any harm done to animals, like Radagast The Brown in Lord of the Rings, who was connected with nature and wildlife.
If one only reads what the Lord of the Rings book had to offer on one of 5 wizards, it can be seen that there is a lot of similarities between him and Revati natives.
The fish represents the duality and confusion within the Revati native.
One side wants to pace towards its goal, while the other wants to learn and remain in the past.
People with planets in this Nakshatra remain confused in life about what aim to take, which path to walk on, what decisions to make.
They do not feel at ease until they connect with nature or fight for nature.
Most spiritualists would have this Nakshatra because spirituality and its awakening is the higher dimension, away from our ordinary world.
Fish is also the oldest creature known to man. They have been here for over 500 million years, which also shows the depth and age of the Revati soul.
When the soul has been through countless cycles of this world, its only interest and path are to find the true nature and its spirit.
The deity of the Revati Nakshatra is Pushan, one of the 12 Adityas and is the protector of flocks, herds, and safe travels.
The Adityas are the guardians of universal laws and codes of conduct.
He also has a special affinity for animals. Pushan is also considered the ruler of the roads. He is the Lord of lost things and lost animals.
The search of any lost items on a Revati Nakshatra day can prove to be successful.
Lord Pushan is also the final ferryman, who ushers the souls into the realm of Yama into the netherworld.
He is also the protector of wayfarers and their belongings, as well as the God of meetings.
In Daksha’s yagna, Pushan was eating the oblation when Rudra arrived.
Rudra is supposed to have knocked Pushan’s teeth, and so the offerings to Pushan are made of soft porridge-like mingled soft curd rice.
As mentioned above, he is the ferryman and protects travellers in their journey.
This theme of Revati Nakshatra indicates that the natives are well versed in direction and can easily follow maps and reach their destination, and will be experts in navigation.
Leading others, showing the way to others physically, mentally or through counselling can be a theme for Revati natives.
Pushan and Ashwin Kumaras are known for their ability to heal animals.
The energy of Pushan is invoked during the Ashwamedha yagna (horse sacrifice ritual) to protect the horse from falling and injuring his leg and becoming lame, which indicates that the healer for lameness is Pushan.
It must be noted that the 12th house in astrology or the birth chart is where Revati Nakshatra dwells, and the 12th house denotes the feet of the native.
Pushan is the shepherd and veterinarian among the Gods.
As a result, Revati natives have a special affinity and fondness for animals and pets.
Revati natives can take special interest in zoologists, marine biologists, animal conservationists, etc.
Pushan’s mode of transportation is unique, with a goat drawn chariot useful in travelling hilly terrains and dangerous roads.
The animal goat is very adept in climbing hilly terrain and places difficult to access, which shows Revati natives may love exploring places, have an interest in visiting foreign nations and travelling or dwelling near mountains.
The story of the shepherd also connects Revati closely with #Krishna or #Christ.
The natives will be extremely fond and close to one of these figures because both were shepherds and protected animals, which is why they also make great safety officers in corporations.
Princess Revati is supposed to have been the wife of Lord Balaram.
The princess and her father approached Brahma and saw that he was sleeping.
Finally, after waking up, Brahma enquired as to why they were there.
Her father said he wanted to find a suitable bridegroom for his daughter.
Brahma mentioned that by waiting for him in Brahma Loka, where time moves at a slower rate than the Earth plane, the corresponding time in Earth had changed yugas, and their kingdoms have vanished with men being shorter than what they were before.
Brahma said that the only man suitable in this new yuga was Balaram, the elder brother of Lord Krishna.
Balaram used his plough to make Revati’s height shorter which indicates the partner of Revati natives will be shorter in height.
This Nakshatra can also provide an extremely tall partner.
It also shows that a Revati native will procrastinate on choosing their partner and miss out on the perfect match.
This is the confusion of the two fishes they run into.
Time goes much slower for Revati, and they will always take their time when doing any task or making any decision.
Such people are not good at working in a place where quick decision-making is required.
Attributes of Revati Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 16’40” up to 30’00” degree in Pisces (Meena) Rashi.
Lord is Jupiter (Guru). Pushan is the keeper of cows of the Gods; this leads to keeping cows and animal husbandry, protection and nourishing of dependants, foster-father, etc.
Pusha means cherishing protected people, nourishment, excellence, material enjoyment, wealth, prosperity, extravagance, and being fat.
The native of this star advances by leaps and bounds.
This is the #birth star of #Shani.
Anthropomorphically, this is the cavity of the abdomen, groins of Kalapurusha.

The meaning of the word Ashadha is festival or procession, and Uttara Ashadha means later part of the procession. This means the later part, i.e. the cycle of #birth of a baby, has started.

#UttaraAshadha #Nakshatra in astrology is one of the Urdhvamukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras which have their mouths upwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to palaces, coronations, boundary walls, construction of tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: Planks of a Bed
The symbol for Utthara Ashadha is the planks of a bed or a small cot. This is an indication of a baby putting more weight.

Deity: The #Vishwedhevas
The deity of Utthara Ashadha is Vishwedhevas. Vishwedhevas means all Vedic Gods taken together. In Vedas, 33 Gods are identified. These include 8 Vasu, 12 Aadhithya, and 11 Rudhra. Vishwedhevas are the most comprehensive gathering of Gods.

The yoni animal of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra is the #mongoose.
Mongoose is famously known for one thing, killing the snake and taking its deadly bite.
The mongoose is the one animal that can take on any type of snake species, from cobra, rattlesnake to a black mamba.
The behaviour of the mongoose is that it frustrates, annoys and makes the snake tired and only when the snake is tired does the mongoose attack and kill it with one hit.
Mongooses are also quite fond of Rahu (Pigs), or one of its cousins known as warthogs. They are known to come into the territory of mongooses and have them clean all the lice and ticks off of them.
This not only helps them get cleaned but gives mongoose a nice stuff to snack on.
Mongoose lives in a large group like a colony and is very social.
They are also known to breed between March-May and have a very unpleasant smell.
From the yoni animal, it can be seen that Uttara Ashadha natives will always have snake-like enemies and will flirt with snake-like people.
In a friendship, relationship or with co-workers, Uttara Ashadha natives will crush them or expose them to the world, and they feel undefeated in life.
Just like how mongoose sees the opportunity to kill the snake, Uttara Ashadha folks are extremely opportunistic, and when they see it, they go for it.
They jump into things before anyone else does and are not afraid of the challenge.
The warthogs receiving cleaning from these small relentless creatures show that they are able to help anyone in any type of condition.
They do not see species, colour, creed or caste.
Since pigs are connected with Varaha avatar, representing Rahu, and Rahu represents Muslims, Uttara Asahadha will always make a Muslim friend or have a Muslim lover in their life. It will be of a great benefit because, like the mongoose gets to feed on the ticks and lice of the wild pig, the Uttara Ashadha native will also be able to get many things to feed on through such people easily.
Due to the colonization nature of mongooses, they are very social.
They always want to take over things and set up their own eutopia wherever they go.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is the elephant’s tusk, which again shows that these natives are prolific writers.
They can write a trilogy and something as epic as Mahabharata written by the great Hindu God Ganesha.
The elephant’s tusk is pretty much a tooth, which Ganesha broke off and turned into an ink pen.
There are rumours that the originally written book by Ganesha is locked in the Padmanabhaswamy temple of Lord Vishnu.
The broken tooth shows dental issues that Uttara Ashadha natives need to deal with if this Nakshatra is influenced by malefics and posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th house.
Vishwadevas or the Universal Gods are the deities of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra.
The universal Gods or the Vishwadevas have the power to grant #invincible #victory.
Viswadevas deals with universal moral principles.
The qualities governed by them are goodness, truth, willpower, time, desire, skillfulness, forbearance, ancestors, abundance and summit/peak.
Lord #Ganesha, the elephant-headed God, is also connected with this asterism for being the one in charge of karma.
Lord #Krishna is supposed to have displayed his true form, or the Vishwaroopa, to Arjuna in Mahabharata’s Kurukshetra, where he had the entire Universe, the Gods ruling the Universe as being one- Lord Krishna.
The animal connected with this Nakshatra is the mongoose, which could also be connected with Lord #Kubera, who carries a mongoose skin purse, and rules the North direction connected with Mercury.
Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna, may also be connected with the last pada of this Nakshatra, as he was the one who broke through the Chakravyuha formation in the Mahabharata but ended up dying.
Parikshit, the son of Abhimanyu, was the only one who survived the Pandava clan even after getting impacted by Brahmastra from Ashwatthama.
The mythology clearly shows that Uttara Ashadha natives are undefeated in most of their undertakings.
They take the right and proper actions to make sure the victory is on their side.
Like Purva Ashadha Nakshatra natives, they are strategic about what type of war they are entering into and how they will conquer their mission.
Vishwa Devas are about morals and principles, and it translates into these natives as the anchor of their lifeboat.
Even the mob boss or a hard-minded criminal will have a set of principles that they will build their foundation on, like never killing children, women, or someone without a cause.
If you pay attention to the mythology, you will understand the word “Universal God”, meaning Uttara Ashadha natives do not have a single-minded approach to a single religion.
They believe in one universal God, one defining omnipresence.
They are always interested in anthropology, history and colonization of different religious beliefs in different regions of the world.
Krishna, who revealed his true self to Arjuna in the middle of the battlefield, becomes a key figure in this Nakshatra.
Krishna was known to be very apt, and he cheated many times in the Mahabharata to give Pandavas the advantage against their cousins.
The cheating was fair, as rules of the battle were not followed initially by Kauravas.
Uttara Ashadha natives are not afraid of cheating when they realize their enemy is serving them the same dish.
These natives are always in search of the answer of the true universe origins and who created this entire existence due to Krishna showing his Vishwaroopa (universal God form) to Arjuna.
Krishna also died with an arrow hit on the left foot by Jara, and so these natives always have sprained ankles and injury to their knee or leg, especially Saturn being the ruler of the Capricorn side.
Uttara Ashadha natives are the most powerful individuals within themselves.
One of the key features of someone who is in the power/position is their way of conducting themselves.
For example, a powerful banker, mob boss or CEO have a habit of always wearing the best things and smoking cigars.
Cigars have been the key symbol of such people to show their power in the world.
This Nakshatra deals with time, and they love to wear the best wristwatches so that they can keep track of time.
Saturn, the ruler of the Capricorn sign, is also the karaka of time.
Uttara Ashadha natives come to change things, and they make a big impact on society.
They feel it is their duty to give light to society at any cost, even if it means sacrificing their comfort and life. Uttara Ashadha stands for later victory.
When a person has this Nakshatra dominating in their chart, they will lose many battles in the early life but later become invincible and undefeated.
Attributes of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 26’40” Sagittarius (Dhanu) to 10’00” of Capricorn (Makara).
Lord is Jupiter (Guru) and Saturn (Shani). The derivatives from Uttara Ashadha are closely allied to those of Purva Ashadha.
The points of difference are that Poorva Ashadha spreads out, and it is concerned with extensiveness.
On the other hand, Uttara Ashadha is introspective and penetrative and is concerned with intensiveness, the results of the latter being more permanent than the former (Poorvashadha).
The deity who preserves this world and makes for its welfare is called ‘ganadevata’or Vishwadevatas.
There are ten ganadevatas Basu, Satya, Kratu, Daksha, Kala, Kama, Dhriti, Kuru, Pururaba, Madraba.
All their attributes are in this star. The warrior, the wrestler, the painter, the artist, the magician, the well-dressed man, the happy and successful men are influenced by this star.
A special characteristic of it is that it causes the native to be admired and socially applauded.
Another characteristic of it is that under the influence of this star, the native falls in love with an unmarried girl.
Bhishma of the Mahabharata was one of the 8 Basus, so under this star, one possesses self-control, restraint, endurance and firm character. There are special rituals for the worship of ganadevatas, which are more or less of specialised nature.
Description of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
