#Shardiya #Navratri 2024: Many festivals are celebrated in India and every festival has a great historical background. Navratri is one of the most significant and awaited Hindu festivals. A nine-day festival dedicated to Mother Goddess #Durga. Navratri means 'nine special nights', during these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakti / Devi are worshipped. And the word 'night' is a symbol of accomplishment. On the tenth day, Dussehra is celebrated. Navratri comes four times a year. Pausha, Chaitra, Ashadh, Ashwin is celebrated from Pratipada to the ninth.

The story behind Shardiya Navratri
In the Lanka war, Brahmaji asked Shri Ram to worship Chandi Devi for slaughtering Ravana and to make Goddess happy, and according to the law, there was also a provision of 108 rare beans for Chandi Poojan and Havan. On the other hand, Ravan started Chandi lessons to achieve immortality. Indra Dev conveyed this to Shri Ram through Pawan Dev and consulted to Chandi lesson should be given as complete as possible.

Indra Dev conveyed this to Shri Ram through Pawan Dev and counselled that Chandi Lesson should be given as complete as possible. Here in the incense burner, a Nilkamal from the place of worship vanished from Ravan's elusive power, which would disrupt the worship of Shri Ram. Shri Ram's resolution was broken. There was a fear that the goddess-mother would not have become angry.

Arrangements of rare Nilkamal were impossible, only then Shri Ram remembered that he was also called Kamal-Nayan Nawkavang Lochan. So why not dedicate one eye to the worship of the mother. And when Lord Rama got ready to take out an eye after taking an arrow from her, then Goddess appeared, holding her hand and saying, "I am delighted and blessed by Vijayashree."

On the other side, while worshipping Ravana, Hanuman Ji took the form of a Brahmin child and joined Hanumanji in the service. And a verse from the Brahmins performing Puja, Jaya Devi, Bharati Harinani, Harini means that the devotee's suffering and Karani means pain and suffering. With this Durga became angry with Ravana and cursed him. And Ravana was destroyed.

The second story behind Navratri
According to another legend associated with this feast, Goddess Durga was the slaughter of a Buffalo Devils, i.e. Mahishasur. Delighted by Mahishasur's worship, the gods had given him the bridesmaid to be invincible. After receiving that blessing, Mahishasur started misusing him and extended hell to the door of heaven. Mahishasur took away the rights of the sun, moon, Indra, fire, air, yam, Varun and other deities and became the owner of the heavens. Goddesses had to walk on the earth with the fear of Mahishasura. Then, angry with Mahishasur's misery, the gods created the memory of Durga. To slaughter Mahishasura, the gods had dedicated all their weapons and weapons to Durga, which strengthened them. Nine days he had fought with Mahishasur and in the end, Mahishasura was slaughtered and called Mata Durga Mahishasurmardini.

Raag #Yaman
Raag Yaman is one of the foundational and most revered ragas in Indian classical music. It belongs to the Kalyan thaat and is characterized by its serene and devotional mood, often evoking a sense of tranquility and introspection. The raga is performed during the evening hours and employs all seven notes (swaras) with the teevra (sharp) madhyam (Ma) being a distinctive feature. The aaroh (ascending scale) and avaroh (descending scale) follow a symmetrical pattern, typically rendered as:

• Aaroh: N R G M D N S'
• Avaroh: S' N D P M G R S

The movement of notes in Yaman is fluid and graceful, with an emphasis on the gandhar (Ga) and nishad (Ni), which imbues the raga with its characteristic sweet and soothing quality. Dhrupad compositions in Raag Yaman emphasize slow, meditative alap sections, exploring the depth of each note, followed by structured bandishes (compositions) that maintain the raga's spiritual essence.

#Raag #Durga
Raag Durga, another prominent raga in the indian classical music repertoire, is known for its simplicity and purity. It belongs to the Bilawal thaat and is an audav-audav raga, meaning it uses five notes in both the ascending and descending scales. The notes used are shuddha (natural) and the raga does not employ the Gandhar (Pa) or the Nishad (Ni). Its scale is:

• Aaroh: S R M P D S'
• Avaroh: S' D P M R S

Raag Durga is performed during the second prahar of the night (9 PM to midnight) and #evokes a mood of #devotion and #joy. The raga’s straightforward structure and pentatonic nature lend it a clear, open sound that is both uplifting and calming. In Dhrupad, Raag Durga is explored through intricate alaps, where the purity of each note is meticulously highlighted. The compositions often embody a sense of devotion, with rhythmic and lyrical content that celebrates divine or heroic themes.

ॐ सर्वमंगल मांगल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके। शरण्ये त्रयम्बके गौरी नारायणी नमोस्तुते।।

Sarva Mangal Mangalye Shiv Savard Sadhike Sharanne Trayambake Gauri Narayane Namohstute ||

The Sarvamangala Mangale Shive mantra, like other Hindu mantras, is incredibly powerful. This particular mantra is dedicated to Goddess Durga and plays a significant role in Hindu weddings. Reciting it each morning can bring about immense goodness, peace, and success in one's life.

The mantra itself holds deep meaning:

"Auspiciousness of the auspicious! Parvathi! The fulfiller of desires! Protector of all – Three-eyed! Parvathi Devi! Narayini! We bow to your divinity!"

Goddess Parvathi embodies qualities such as power, strength, devotion, and love. As the consort of Lord Shiva, she represents virtues like asceticism, skill, fertility, power, and marital bliss according to Hindu mythology.

It is believed that Goddess Parvathi is the physical form of the Supreme Being (Adi Parasakthi), making her the embodiment of Divine Power. Without power, matter remains inert, and thus, she is the driving force behind activating the energy within humans. Every power in the world is ultimately a symbol of Goddess Shakthi.

Chanting the 'Sarva Mangala Maangale' mantra not only creates powerful vibrations in the physical body but also allows the soul to connect with divine energy, providing relief from worldly issues.

By surrendering to the Divine Mother through this mantra, one can eliminate helplessness and receive divine guidance to overcome challenges.

The hidden meaning of Sarva Mangala Maangalye refers to fulfilling the four attainments in human life: Dutiful Living, Prosperity, Desire, and Liberation. By reciting this mantra, one can strive towards achieving all four goals, including Moksha.

Similarly, Tryambake symbolizes Three-eyed, representing Ida, Pingala, and Shushumn.

The moon nakshatra and ascendant nakshatra reveal our destined path in life.

#PurvaBhadrapada stands for occult behaviour and enigmatical wonders on the one hand, and sincerity, morality, and hope on the other.

This #nakshatra connects #Aquarius and #Pisces, indicating the end of everything and the start of out-of-this-world conceptions and experiences, respectively. Aquarius is the sign of humanity’s ambitions and technologies, representing the highest point of happiness and the height of sorrow, the best of both worlds. Pisces, on the other hand, is the beginning of a world of creativity and opportunities that hasn’t been fully explored yet

Deity #AjaEkapada is an #ancient #fire #serpent or #dragon, or #unborn, also a #one-legged goat/unicorn, that goes wherever it wants, Aja Ekapada a fierce form of #Shiva is also a mount of #Rudra, it is a one-legged black deity that rules over secret societies and clans and is therefore associated with all forms of black magic, according to the Vedas he is associated with flood, storm and light.

Its diverse mix of positive and negative traits makes it a fascinating nakshatra to explore. Despite its affinity for supernaturalism and occultism, the nakshatra exhibits sociability, helpfulness, pleasant gestures, and compassion. Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra symbolizes creation, destruction, compassion, and violence.

In spite of the fact that they value tradition, they are capable of undergoing change and adaptation. When Jupiter is afflicted, though, it can cause the native to withdraw from society and focus only on his or her own needs.

If natives of the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra are afflicted by certain planets, they may prove to be harmful and destructive. However, they may also find themselves the victims of socially destructive methods and terrorism due to their innate propensity towards the supernatural. They are also known for their dishonesty, negativity, and immoral behaviour, which is another one of their negative characteristics.

Favourable: Dangerous Activities, Uncertainty, Risk, Mechanisms, Technology, Funerals, Conclusions, Death, Agriculture, and Water

Unfavourable: Beginnings, Initiations, Marriage, Sexual Activity, Dealing with Higher Authorities.

Bridging these two signs is a profound experience in itself, as it enables individuals to reach for the highest hopes and fantasies of the world. Thus Purva Bhadrapada has a significant impact on a person’s personality and outlook towards life.

Symbolism: This #constellation is commonly associated with the shape of the “front legs of a funeral cot”, which some interpret as representing an exit or conclusion. As previously stated, it signifies the conclusion of all that we are familiar with. Furthermore, “the sword” is another emblem of this constellation, signifying a lasting severance or conclusion.
The nakshatra is often associated with the lion, which is also believed to be the powerful form and vehicle of the goddess Shakti, also known as Durga.

Translation: The former one who possesses lucky feet

Conclusion

Purva Bhadrapada is like a unicorn that embodies both magical mischief and good vibes, and a never-ending supply of positive energy. Well, apparently both Saturn and Jupiter are in charge around here. So apparently, in #Bhadrapada, they worship a one-legged goat named #Ajaikapada who is supposed to be a form of Lord Rudra. Looks like #Purva-Bhadrapada people are twice as interesting with their two-faced personalities. Watch out, you never know which side you’ll get! Ah, the classic tale of the two-faced side – one minute it’s your BFF, and the next it’s causing chaos and making you want to plot your revenge.

When #Jupiter is afflicted, residents may withdraw from society and focus solely on their own wants.

It is linked to the lion, which is also the fierce form and vehicle of the goddess #Shakti, also known as #Durga.

Purva Bhadrapada people are determined to succeed, but this drive can lead to self-harm.

17 April, 2024 Wednesday Rama Navami #Pink #Maa #Siddhidatri Puja

During #Navratri, we worship the nine forms of #Goddess #Durga. It begins with the worship of Maa Shailaputri and is followed by the worship of the other avatars of Goddess Durga.

The Worship of Maa Siddhidatri
The ninth day of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Maa Siddhidatri. The word #Siddhi means #supernatural power and Dhatri means the awarder. Hence, it is believed that Maa Siddhidatri fulfils all divine aspirations.

Maa Siddhidatri is known to be the giver of perfection. She blesses her devotees with wisdom and grants them #spiritual knowledge. Maa Siddhidatri is also worshipped by demons and is surrounded by all Gods.

History and Origin
The #story of Maa Siddhidatri begins at a time when our #universe was nothing more than a deep #void. It was filled with darkness and there was no sign of life. This is when Goddess Kushmanda created the universe with the radiance of her smile.

Maa Kushamnda then went on to create the #Trimurti of Lord #Bramha – the energy of creation, Lord #Vishnu – the energy of sustenance and Lord #Shiva – the energy of destruction. Once they were created, Lord Shiva asked Maa Kushmanda to bestow him with perfection.

So, Maa Kushmanda created another goddess who bestowed Lord Shiva with 18 kinds of perfection. These included the Ashta Siddhi (8 primary forms of perfection) along with 10 secondary forms of perfection, described by Lord Krishna.

This goddess who had the ability to bestow these perfections on Lord Shiva is Maa Siddhidatri – the giver of perfection. Now, Lord Bramha was asked to create the rest of the Universe. However, since he required a man and a woman for creation, Lord Bramha found this task to be very challenging.

He prayed to Maa Siddhidatri and asked her to help him. Upon hearing Lord Bramha’s request, Maa Siddhidatri converted half of Lord Shiva’s body into a woman’s body. Therefore, Lord Shiva is also known as #Ardhanarishwar (Ardh - half, Nari - woman, Ishwar - refers to Lord Shiva).

Lord Bramha was now able to create living beings along with the rest of the Universe. So, it was Maa Siddhidatri who helped Lord Bramha with the creation of the Universe and also bestowed perfection upon Lord Shiva.

Worship of Maa Siddhidatri
Maa Siddhidatri is depicted as being seated on a lotus or a lion. She has four arms and holds a conch shell, a mace, a lotus and a discus in each of these hands.

Worshipped on the ninth day of Navratri, Maa Siddhidatri possesses the Ashta Siddhi. It is believed that Maa Siddhidatri blesses her devotees with spiritual wisdom and she is also known to destroy ignorance.

Navratri (Day 8) – The #Story of #Maa Mahagauri
22 Oct 2020 ... Due to her glow and extreme radiance, Maa #Parvati came to be known as Mahagauri. She wears white clothes, rides a white-coloured bull and has .

A long time ago, Lord Shiva went into deep penance and meditation due to the death of his first companion - Devi Sati. Lord Shiva refused to come out of his meditation and stayed away from all worldly affairs for many years.

Meanwhile, a demon by the name of Tarakasura was troubling the Gods to no end. At the request of the Gods, Devi Sati was reborn as Maa Shailaputri, the daughter of the Himalayas. She was also called as Maa Parvati.

It was said that she would bring Lord Shiva out of his meditation and their child would go on kill Tarakasura. One day, Sage Narada arrived at Maa Parvati’s doorstep and told her everything about her previous birth.

He also told her that she would have to perform severe Tapasya (penance), so that Lord Shiva can know her truth. Maa Parvati agreed and gave up all the comforts and luxuries of her palace. Soon, she went into a forest and began her dedicated penance.

Thousands of years passed but Maa Parvati did not give up. She refused to eat or drink anything, while also fighting through the cold, the rains and the storms. Due to this, her skin turned dark and her body was now covered with dust, soil, leaves, etc.

She turned extremely pale and thin. Due to this severe Tapasya, Maa Parvati lost all her radiance and became extremely weak. Finally, after a long time, Lord Shiva took notice of her penance. He even tested her devotion and realized that she was indeed his Sati, from the previous birth.

Lord Shiva agreed to marry Maa Parvati. Since, she had become weak and was covered in all kinds of dirt, Lord Shiva decided to cleanse her. He allowed the holy waters of Ganga flowing through his hair, to fall onto Maa Parvati. This sacred water washed away all the dirt from Maa Parvati’s body and she was able to regain her lost radiance.

Goddess of the Eighth Day of #Navratri

Due to her glow and extreme radiance, Maa Parvati came to be known as Mahagauri. She wears #white clothes, rides a white-coloured #bull and has four arms. She holds a Trishul (trident), a lotus and a drum in each of her hands, while she uses her fourth hand to bless all her devotees.

Maa Mahagauri represents the purity and inner beauty of every living being. She is a loving Goddess who takes care of her devotees and helps them overcome their difficulties as well.

15 April, 2024 Monday Saptami #Red #Kalaratri Puja

#Maa Kaalratri is one of the terrifying forms of #Goddess #Durga and is also referred to as Maa Kaali. The word Kaal usually refers to #time or #death and the word Ratri means night. Hence, she is also known as the Goddess who brings an end to darkness.

Maa Kaalratri is known to destroy ghosts, evil spirits and demon entities. She is also referred to as Shubhankari, since it is believed that she brings about auspicious news.

Soon, they launched a fierce attack on the Gods and managed to defeat them. They were helped in this attack by Chandha, Mundha and Raktabeej. These three were old friends of the demon Mahishasura, before he was killed by Maa Katyayani. Together, all of them began to rule over the three worlds.

Indra and the other Gods went to the Himalayas and prayed to Goddess Parvati. She understood their fears and created another goddess - Chandi - to help them. Goddess Chandi was able to kill most of the demons sent by Shumbha and Nishumbha

However, demons like Chandha, Mundha and Raktabeej were too powerful and she was unable to kill them. So, Goddess Chandi created another goddess from her forehead, who came to be known as Kaalratri or Kaali.

Maa Kaalratri fought Chandha and Mundha and eventually killed them. Hence, she is also known as Chamunda. After this, Goddess Chandi and Goddess Kaalratri went on to fight the powerful demon Raktabeej.

Raktabeej possessed a special boon from Lord Bramha that if any drop of his blood fell to the ground, another lookalike of him would be created from that drop. So, as Maa Kaalratri fought and injured Raktabeej, several clones of him were being created.

Looking at this, Maa Kaalratri got immensely furious and started drinking the blood of every clone of Raktabeej. This prevented his blood from falling to the ground and eventually he was killed by Maa Kaalratri. Later, she also killed Shumbha and Nishumbha and brought peace back to the three worlds.

Maa Kaalratri is worshipped on the seventh day of Navratri. She is a ferocious manifestation of Goddess Durga and is feared by all demons and evil spirits.

She is known to have a very dark complexion and has long, untied hair. Maa Kaalratri is drenched in blood, wears a garland of skulls around her neck and has four hands. She holds a thunderbolt and a scimitar in two of her hands, while her other two hands are in the abhaya (protecting) and varada (blessing) positions.

Therefore, it is believed that Maa Kaalratri blesses her devotees and also protects them from all evil. She is worshipped and honoured during Navratri, as she can destroy all darkness and bring peace to the world.

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.

Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Adhomukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths downwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to tanks, wells, temples, mining, digging, etc., can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: Two Legs of a #Bed
The symbol of Purva Bhadrapada is the 2 legs of a bed. It suggests a time to get admitted for a natural birth.

Deity: The Ajaikapadha
The deity for Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Ajaikapadha. Ajaikapadha can be split as Aja and Ekapadha. Aja means goat, and Ekapadha means one leg. Therefore, #Ajaikapadha means goat with just one leg. Ajaikapadha is considered heaven’s bearer. Ajaikapadha is a form of #Rudhra.

The yoni animal of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra is a #male #lion.
They sleep and sit around most of the day because they know they don’t have to move for anyone.
Purva Bhadrapda natives would have this in their consciousness, they have to work, they need to work, but if they didn’t have to, they won’t, but also what happens here is that the work they do is always unfulfilling and makes them unhappy.
They feel directionless in life because the lion yoni wants to feel relaxed and without responsibility.
Purva Bhadrapada natives feel like a vagabond until they do something creative, political, medical or activism activities.
They need a purpose in life, and most of the time, the purpose would be related to children as the Leo sign falls directly opposite to the Aquarius sign.
This Nakshatra’s main domination is in the Aquarius sign, while on the Pisces side, they are more introverted, fluent and at peace at the pace of their life.
The lion is also known for his roar and when these people get frustrated, pushed to the wall or angry, they will roar and scream to make their point, which can be very eccentric to others.
Like the lion who lunges on its prey, the natives will lunge on the one who becomes the prey in front of them by being a predator.
Lion’s job is to protect the cubs, which shows these people will be extremely protective of children and family at all costs.
People with other Nakshatras may not have such brutal protective instincts and are okay with life and what their young cubs are doing.
Purva Bhadrapada natives may go out there stalking their child’s move and making sure they are safe and sound.
These natives will also have a lot of hair on their body and will think more of their head hair, especially when this Nakshatra have effects on the 2nd house or 2nd Lord of the chart.
The lion being the animal of this Nakshatra shows the connection with #Goddess #Durga, who has a lion as her mount.
She killed the buffalo headed demon, Mahishasur.Summary of Purva Bhadrapada in Vedic Astrology
Lion is often used as a sign for Sun, as well as for a strong devotee.
God Narasimha, half man-half lion avatar of Lord Vishnu, had the purpose to save his child devotee Prahlad from his father Hiranyakashipu, who was killed under a unique set of conditions, such as at twilight (neither day nor night), on the doorsteps of his palace (neither inside nor outside), uses his nails to kill him (neither animate nor inanimate), puts him on his lap before killing (neither earth nor in space), which nullified the boon he had obtained from Lord Brahma.
Prahlada was the grandfather of King Mahabali.
Lions are not aware that humans consider them as the King of the jungle, they simply know that they are able to kill most of the animals, but a lion is there to watch for the pride, sleep and eat.
Purva Bhadrapada natives do excellently when in a position to protect children, working with children or large groups of people who protect certain aspects of life.
Another symbolism of this Nakshatra is that it has several symbols ranging from twins, funeral cot legs and two swords.
The symbolism of twin or two faces shows the polarity in these natives.
Natives with Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra may either be twins, or their family member would be a twin, but the strongest attribute is their ability to flipflop their views, answers, personality and mind.
They can actually come off as Vishakha Nakshatra natives with double personalities. Vishakha Nakshatra falls in the 9th house from this Nakshatra, which means one naturally will get personality traits from the father.
This can also be interpreted as being in two worlds.
Such natives are not only grounded in the affairs of this world but also have an affinity with the world, aliens, UFOs, paranormal, and death.
When it comes to the funeral cot, it shows their interest in death, health and life that is beyond the freshness of the living body.
They have a keen interest in pathology and how the body functions, but it also shows wanting to serve those who lay on the funeral cot.
It can be seen that such people are attracted to items that are old and dead in the culture. They love older antique items, which no one wants because they feel dead to an average person.
They are the people who will be purchasing an old VCR, boob box or old-style radio.
Aja Ekapada, or “the unborn, one-footed one”, is the deity of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
He is one of the Rudras and is the fire dragon. Aja Ekapada is often considered in his goat form and is considered to be the mount of Lord Agni, the God of Fire.
Aja Ekapada is connected with storms through Rudra and may also be connected with the Maruts, the wind Gods.
The archetypical unicorn may also be connected to the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Seeing how Aja is one-footed, it can be seen that such natives will always have a leg injury where they will have to be on one foot for a while or on a wheelchair.
As a Rudra, these people are always attracted to natural medicine, herbs and acupressure.
Lions are animals that can take a lot of pain and survive. These people also love feeling pain in their body like a deep massage, acupuncture needles, etc. and just like Rudra, these natives are not lightweights; they will storm upon you when challenged.
They are extremely animated, wild and will like everything that 90% of the people will not.
If many people like classical music, pop, rock, Purva Bhadrapada natives will love punk rock and heavy metal.
If everyone enjoys mainstream hip-hop, they will listen to underground hip-hop.
If most like mainstream movies, they will like classic movies.
The one-legged theory is extremely true.
These natives will fold one leg to the other while washing dishes or doing some kitchen work.
A unicorn is a horse with wings and a horn on the nose.
The natives of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra will always love having a statue of wing angles and horses in their homes. As children, they would love unicorns or creatures which are a mutation of the original animal.
Aja Ekapada is the fire that is connected with funeral rites and can be considered to be the spiritual fire, which purifies one’s soul.
He is also connected with lightning, storms, black magic, and extreme occult groups such as Aghoris & other extreme practitioners of yoga or tapasya.
The fortnight that follows after the full moon in Bhadrapada Nakshatra (full moon in September or the Bhadrapada Hindu month) is connected with offerings to Pitris and is called tarpanam fortnight.
Aja Ekapad is equipped with a trident and is shown with a stag. Rudra pierced the head of Brahma, who was stalking Saraswati in the form of a stag.
Aja Ekapad is one-footed and connected with meditation austerities. He is connected with rishis and munis practising meditation standing on one leg.
The severe form of meditation or the left-handed tantra practice can be connected with this Nakshatra.
Purva Bhadrapada natives are the type of people who want to stop stalkers in their footpaths.
They can’t stand when an innocent being is terrorized, just like Brahma stalking Saraswati.
Most of the time, such people love doing investigations or love watching shows related to murder investigations and serial stalkers.
If other planets in the chart make a person’s action negative, then such people do such things instead of fighting against it.
Due to the connection with Rudra, they love the medical field, especially since it deals with life and death (funeral cot) and severe rituals.
The magic side of this Nakshatra gives natural interest in kundalini, magic, aliens, UFOs and other mythical activities.
Purva and Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra have a love for dragons.
The natives love stories of dragons as a child or even have one of those Feng-Shu statues in their home due to fire rituals and relation to fire with this Nakshatra, but it is truly the Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra that has this symbolism.
Lord Nataraja, the form of Shiva standing on one foot over the demon, can be a close resemblance to Aja Ekapada, though not the same.
In fact, every year in the Tamil month Maasi (Feb-March) from the day of Mahashivratri for the next few days, the Indian classical dance festival, Natyanjali, is held in Chidambaram.
It is at this time of the year the Sun is transiting or is in close proximity to the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Mushrooms are strongly connected with this Nakshatra as it is a vegetable/fungus standing on one foot.
In ancient times soma was actually considered as mushrooms.
They used to make a paste of mushrooms, ghee, and other herbs to create the som juice.
