The name "Shravana" is derived from "Shrav," which means " #hearing," and it refers to the "listener." As a result, it denotes that #Shravana is a #nakshatra of learning and knowledge acquisition. Verbal education was popular in the past, and those born under the Sharavana nakshatra still make an effort to practice it today. More than visualizing or writing, they learn through listening.

#om namah shivaya
#Sravana #Nakshatra is the 22nd Nakshatra as per Hindu astrology in Aquilae constellation.
Sravana is ruled by Vishnu, the preserver among the great trinity of Hindu deities.
#Shravana or Śravaṇa ( #Sanskrit: श्रवण) is derived from the root श्रवः ( #hearing or the #ear), and means — ‘the ear’, ‘the hypotenuse of a triangle’, ‘the act of hearing’, ‘study’, ‘fame’, ‘glory’, ‘that which is heard or revealed’.
In Hindu philosophy and rituals, the hearing of the secrets of the Upanishads from the Guru is called Shravana which secrets are meant to be reflected upon to gain intellectual conviction. One learns by hearing, it is the first stage of learning, the initiation when the traditional Vedic doctrines are passed on by the teachers.
Shravana star has several references in Hindu mythology also related to Onam festival and these three stars are pictured as the 3 footprints of Vamana in His gigantic Trivikrama form.
We also have mythology of Shravan Kumar whose parents were old and blind, and he would carry them in two baskets hanging on either side from a rod on his shoulders like a weighing scale that almost resembles Aquila formation. Shravan Kumar, even today, is remembered for his dedication towards his parents. Altair in the Aquila constellation, in the sky has been named after Shravan.

#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.

#Shravan #Nakshatra is associated with listening and learning. Those born under the Shravan Nakshatra have a remarkable aptitude to absorb all knowledge by listening, much as our forefathers did through oral traditions. The media and communication industries are essentially a part of this constellation because the core notion is listening and learning.
Shravan Nakshatra, also known as Shravan, is the 22nd constellation on the list of 27. Lord #Vishnu is its ruler, and it extends into the Makara Rashi or Capricorn sign. The three stars that make up Shravan Nakshatra are Altair, Alashain, and Tarazed, which together form the shape of an eagle’s head. The name “Shravan” means “ #hearing,” and its symbol represents the ear, which is the organ of hearing. Those born under the Shravan Nakshatra sign tend to have a strong attention span, a clear vision of their goals, and a desire to complete all assignments from the outset. They may also travel to other countries to pursue higher education.
#Shravana #Birth #Star Basic Information
Shravana nakshatra is ruled by the Moon, and it signifies the culmination of lunar activity. The nakshatra’s symbol is three footprints, and it appears as the shape of an eagle in the night sky. The name Shravana means ‘listening,’ and this nakshatra represents the art of hearing or education that is spread through aural methods. The symbol of three footsteps represents limping and is linked to Vishnu, the creator. This nakshatra is also the birth start of Devi Saraswati, the goddess of education and knowledge. As a result, people born under this nakshatra are blessed with a wealth of scholarly expertise, wisdom, and insight.
Shravana Nakshatra 1st Pada: The first pada of the Shravana Nakshatra falls in the Aries Navamsa ruled by Mars. Planetary influences in this area encourage the development of rational thought, aspiration, and initiative, as well as prompt action toward profession.
Shravana Nakshatra 2nd Pada: The second pada of the Shravana Nakshatra falls in the Taurus Navamsa ruled by Venus. The people who were born in this pada are diplomatic, have an appreciation for the arts, and are more stable.
Shravana Nakshatra 3rd Pada: The third pada of the Shravana Nakshatra falls in the Gemini Navamsa ruled by Mercury. The good of Shravana is emphasized here, including its emphasis on communication and the desire to increase one’s knowledge through means such as wise conversation.
Shravana Nakshatra 4th Pada: The fourth pada of the Shravana Nakshatra falls in the Cancer Navamsa ruled by the Moon.Being empathetic and open-minded is the key to success in this situation. There is a good chance that these natives are employed in the hospitality sector or in public service positions.
Shravana Nakshatra Characteristics
One of the most appealing behavioural characteristics of such people is their amicability. They are constantly at ease with their surroundings and people. They make calculations and plan to achieve higher goals in their lives, but they will never compromise their honesty and kindness to others. Another immediately observable behavioural attribute of these folks is their intelligence and boldness in their day-to-day dealings. They are perfectionists who are particularly concerned with producing work that is free of defects.
Negative Traits
The other side of their personality shows their flaws. People born under the Shravana nakshatra are often smart, which, when combined with their wealth of knowledge and skills, can lead to selfishness and stubbornness, which are both bad traits. Since this nakshatra is determined to get what it wants, a wrong step or a poorly planned effort could cause these people to hurt others to get what they want.
People born in the Shravana Nakshatra have a choice of careers.
When it comes to making a living, these people are interested in a wide range of jobs, from helping others to running their own businesses. Due to Saraswati ruling over them, they will succeed in their professional endeavors. The natives will be interested in many different kinds of jobs, such as different kinds of engineering, medical education, science, and arts. They will be financially stable unless they go down the wrong path.

♲ Juggling With Eggs - 2024-02-28 21:17:45 GMT
Recently I’ve been reading more about the emotional side of #hearing loss.I assumed that because I was born moderately #deaf that I hadn’t experienced loss in the ‘emotional’ sense, because I’d never known any different.
But I now see how hard I have been on myself and how my lack of hearing really dented my confidence as a child, teenager and young person in work.
Whether your deafness is recent or lifelong it’s ok to acknowledge the frustration and isolation

It's called the " #Devil's #Interval In #Musicology" when you play #741Hz with #528hz.
THE #9 #SOLFEGGIO #FREQUENCIES AND THEIR BENEFITS
Albert #Einstein once said, " #everything in our #Universe is #vibration." The #atoms in our #bodies, the #molecules and atoms in inanimate objects, #thoughts and #sounds - all things in our Universe are in motion, vibrating . Even the planet itself vibrates and resonates at its own #frequency.
The #human #ear can only hear a limited range of #vibrations per second. In sound science, the number of vibrations per seconds is known as "frequency", which is measured in Hz.
The human ear is only capable of hearing sounds that vibrate at the frequency of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). #Dolphins and #bats are capable of #hearing #sound up to 100 kHz, so you can see #how limited the human capacity for hearing sounds is.
At the #heart of solfeggio frequencies is the belief that the vibrational signature of certain sounds, ranging from 174 Hz to 963 Hz, can positively impact our #mental, #physical and #spiritual #health.
Shravana ("Hearing") (280°00′ to 293°20′ Capricorn)
Looking up into the night sky, #Shravana #nakshatra consists of the #stars Altair, Alshain and Tarazed. These three stars form the head of #Aquila, the #Eagle. The word Shravana translates as " #hearing" and the #symbol of this #star is the #ear. This is a nakshatra of listening and learning. Just as #ancient cultures passed on knowledge through oral traditions, so also people born under Shravana nakshatra have a great ability to obtain knowledge through listening. The media and communication field are also associated with this nakshatra. Those born under Shravana constantly seek wisdom and often travel to foreign countries to further their education. These people have great focus for obtaining goals and complete all the projects they begin.
Sacred Energy Vortex
#Thiruppaarkadal #Sri #Alarmel #Mangai #Samedha Sri #Prasanna #Venkatesa #Perumal #Temple
The sacred vortex associated with the energy of Shravana nakshatra is located in the village of Thiruppaarkadal in Tamil Nadu, India. The name Thiruppaarkadal represents the ambrosia and nectar that comes from the milky ocean. This name exudes the energy of Lord Vishnu, who is the ruler of Shravana. Lord #Vishnu manifested as Sri Prasanna Venkatesa Perumal at this temple, where he is accompanied by his consort, Sri Alarmel Mangai.
This deity is rare as it embodies aspects of both Lord Vishnu and Lord #Shiva. A pooja for a pot-like vessel containing nectar is conducted everyday at Thiruppaarkadal. The face of the vessel represents Lord Vishnu while the neck of the vessel is Lord Shiva. This offering assists those people who have lost their faith in the divine.
Those born under Shravana nakshatra, as well as those who are born under other stars, should worship here frequently. One should perform archana and abhishekham with milk, honey, ghee and sugar. This will bring blessings to manifest one’s desires. Those receiving the darshan of Sri Prasanna Venkatessa Perumal at Thiruppaarkadal will receive the bountiful energy from all of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. It is also favorable to receive darshan on the third moon phase in order to assist the education of one’s children.
People who suffer from deafness or hearing problems should play instruments on Shravana day at Thiruppaarkadal Temple. Worshipping the energy of the sacred sounds enhances a person’s hearing capacity through Divine Grace. This temple is also an auspicious place for doctors who specialize in Otolaryngology (ears, nose and throat) to worship.
Shravana nakshatra natives, your #incense is made with the #herb #SwallowWort 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.

Wireless earbuds, such as AirPods and Galaxy Buds 2, can actually help you hear conversations better with Ambient Sound
Apple’s wireless earbuds are routinely praised for their natural-sounding transparency mode, and for good reason. But did you know you can customise the level of ambient noise that transparency mode lets through? And if that’s not enough, there’s a separate “conversation boost” mode that’s designed to make it easier to hear face-to-face conversations happening in front of you.
Samsung also provides granular control over the ambient sound mode on the company’s Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. You can choose between five different levels of amplification and set individual preferences for each ear. Moreover, there’s also a slider that can adjust ambient sound from “soft” to “clear” based on what sounds best to each person.
And there are also more dedicated ear buds for hearing aid type use. Yes, they do cost a lot more, but are still way cheaper than actual medical hearing aids. In all cases, our ears become less sensitive to certain frequencies, which accounts for some noise sounding louder than someone speaking next to us. All these ear buds are doing is normalising that sound so that what you want to really hear, is more audible to you.

Jabra Enhance Plus review: These $800 earbuds are close to $5,000 hearing aids but are only compatible with iOS for now
An interesting review, and it was much expected that cheaper earbuds would probably do a similar job. There are some minor drawbacks, but still for those who can’t afford $5,000 these may be quite liveable.
On the Android side of things, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro look like a good choice as a first foray into hearing enhancement. The company recently rolled out an update that offers higher levels of amplification for its Ambient Sound option, which passes and enhances outside sound before it reaches your ears.
