#Lord’s #Prayer: #Ancient #Aramaic #Direct #Translation

  • Oh birther, father, mother of the cosmos, you create all that moves in light.
  • Focus your light within us, make it useful as the rays of a beacon show the way.
  • Create your reign of unity now through our fiery hearts and willing hands.
  • Your one desire then acts with ours in all light, so in all forms.
  • Grant what we need each day in bread and insight, subsistence for the call of growing life.
  • Loose the cords of mistakes, binding us, as we release the strands we hold of others guilt.
  • Do not let us enter into forgetfulness. But free us from unripeness.
  • From you, is born all ruling will, the power and the life to do the song that beautifies all, from age to age, it renews.
  • Truly, power to these statements, may they be the source from which all my actions grow, sealed in trust and faith. Amen.

There are few if any #fantasies that involve #socialism, same with #anarchism. There are only a handful with #liberals. more so with #Fascism Almost all of them center around #monarchism and feudalism. There are #sci-fi with ones of all those systems as well with a higher level of leftists. #Kings, #knights, #princes and lords are all negative evil titles and characters to people on the left for good reason. However #Queen and #princess have taken on positive feminist meanings that have nothing to do with ruling others. Nestor Makhno was the closest thing to an anarchist #lord, as one could possibly be. Most male nobility terms will always have a negative meaning to the left. If say anarchism took off, would people be referring to a strong influential woman/girl in her local sustainable community/direct democracy workers counsel as a queen/princess? In leninism everyone was referred to as comrade. In the US at least we aren't so much hung up on titles though post Czarist Russia needed a cleaning of their feudalist past and deference to nobility and titles very quickly. It would be interesting how old titles will be reworked in a leftist world.

14 Mukhi Nepali #Rudraksha

14 Mukhi Nepali Rudraksha-Chaturdashmukhi Rudraksha is believed to have originated directly from Lord Shiva’s eyes, overwhelmed by the grace of Lord Shiva himself, hence the greatness of this Rudraksha is special. It is the controller of the agya chakra which is located between the two eyebrows. The person who wears this Rudraksha in the center of the skull is worshiped by gods and brahmins and attains nirvana. It is helpful in penetrating the Agnya Chakra and increases mental imagery power. It is similar to the third eye of Lord Shiva and helps the wearer in self-defense and proper planning of work.The shape of the Ajna Chakra is like a two-petalled white lotus, the two syllables Ha and Kshma reside in it, its seed element is Om, the loka is the bottom, the yantra is like a linga and the presiding deity is #Lord #Shiva.It is said that the wearer of Chaturdashmukhi Rudraksha gets Shiva Shakti Pind, that is, he imbibes Shaktipeeth and Jyotirlinga. The wearer purifies the forefathers and increases their fame. This Rudraksha improves the present, heals the past and anticipates and brightens the future.
To get the best results from this grain, touch the command chakra located in the middle of it for a few minutes. It is also considered as the incarnation of Hanumanji. Lord Shiva took birth as Lord Hanuman and helped Lord Rama find Sita and kill Ravana. In the form of Anjani’s son, Shri Hanumanji went to Surya Dev and got the education of all knowledge and arts from him. Lord Hanuman’s character in the form of Rudra is devoted to the protection of the good and the destruction of the wicked. He is a complete devotee of Shriramji. He is the foremost among the intelligent, the best among the brilliant orators and the skilled messenger and devotee of Shri Ramji. The wearer of Chaturdashmukhi Rudraksha receives the blessings of Lord Hanuman. This increases the secretions of the eight Vishnuchakras.
In the form of medicine, this grain is helpful in the treatment of heart disorders, eye disorders, skin disorders, uterine disorders, psychosis, ulcer related diseases and sexual disorders. People have used it in the following ways:

(1) Dip it in water for a few hours and drink water, so that wrinkles Get lost

(2) Dip it in honey for 24 days and take one spoon of this honey daily, so that sexual disorders can be eradicated.

(3) Keep it in cow’s milk for three minutes and give this milk to the children, so that fever can be eradicated and memory can be developed.Who should wear it?

This Rudraksha is also called Maha Shani, so people suffering from Shani dasha or Kalsarp should wear it. If people engaged in share trading and betting wear it, then there can be profit. It helps the top officials in manpower administration to judge people. Businessmen of import-export can also increase business by making correct predictions about their business relatives without meeting them.

#GANA
#Lord #Prajapati - the lord of created beings - is said to have three classes of descendants: #Gods, #men and #demons. The first ones, the devas, are said to live in swarga ( #heaven). Men live in bhumi ( #earth) and Rakshasas or Asuras live in patala ( #hell). Each of the #nakshatras is said to belong to one of these three classes of beings. Every class has 9 nakshatras as their domain.

As far as this factor is concerned, a person whose #janma #nakshatra is of divine nature exhibits the qualities of piety, charitableness and goodness of character. Those that are of human descent are said to be a mixture of good and non-good. Demon born persons are said to be self-willed, dominating and forceful.

Gana Nakshatra numbers
Deva 1, 5, 7, 8, 13, 15, 17, 22, 27
Manushya 2, 4, 6, 11, 12, 20, 21, 25, 26
Rakshasa 3, 9, 10, 14, 16, 18, 19, 23, 24

Like in the case of the Yoni classification, marriage partners ideally belong to the same category. Nevertheless some other combinations are also favourable, while possible disadvantage arising out of an unfavourable combination may be ignored if the bride's star is beyond the 14th from that of the bridegroom (see 4, p 68 and 10, p.68).

How does this classification of the human nature tally with Maharishi's cognition that "Human life is all divine"?

There is a nice Upanishadic story that indirectly throws light on this question. It might be of interest to relate it here. (See 14, CH V section 2)

Three classes of Prajapati's sons, gods, men and asuras, after serving Him for some period, approached Him and asked for his guidance. When the gods came to Him and said "Please instruct us", He said "Da" and asked if they understood. Yes, they said, it means "Dama", by which you tell us to control ourselves, for we know, that naturally we are swayed by desires. "Yes", He said. "You have rightly understood".

To his human sons, on approaching Him he said "Da", and asked if they understood. Yes, they said. It means "Dana, by which you tell us to give, and share our wealth among each other, for we know, that we are naturally avaricious. What else could you say for our benefit. "Yes", He said. "You have rightly understood".

Likewise, to this demon sons he said "Da" and asked if they understood. Yes, they said, it means "Daya", by which you tell us to shed our cruelty and have compassion with others, for naturally, we are given to injuring others and so on. "Yes", He said. "You have rightly understood". The Upanishadic text goes on to say that this very lesson continues up to this day, every time a thundercloud is heard to say: "Da, Da, Da": control yourself, give and have compassion.

Shankara, commenting on this story, points out that there are no gods or demons other than men!

"Those among men who are wanting in self-control, but are otherwise endowed with many good qualities, are the gods; those who are particularly greedy are men; while those who are cruel and given to injuring others are the demons. (...)

Hence it is men who should learn all the three instructions, for Prajapati meant his advice for them alone.....

The relevance of this story, in the context of #Jyotish is clear.

This commentary of Adishankara reveals the self-referral meaning of these vedic stories. Indeed if Jyotish is to be of any value to mankind, it has to be understood and practiced on the level of self-referral, human #consciousness.

Maharishi once gave an explanation of this kind of vedic stories, which places the whole searching more clearly in a self-referral light. Maharishi once said that wherever in the vedic text mention is made of persons approaching their father, or consulting Lord Shiva, or Mother Divine etc. it is to be understood as an allegorical description of the creative process: The mind fathoming deeper and deeper levels of inner silence, until the ultimate level of pure awareness, the field of pure knowledge and its infinite organizing power is reached. As a result of this contact with the constitution of the universe, life is restored to balance and all doshas and their concomitant problems are removed. In other words, these upanishadic and puranic stories are allegorical descriptions of the process of man realizing his true nature. Maharishi's cognition "human life is all divine" refers to this natural state, where man spontaneously lives his full potential, his true nature. In 'Love and God' (p.22) Maharishi gives a beautiful description of a human being, who has realized his cosmic status.

"Cosmic life gains expression in his activity. The thought of cosmic life is materialized in his process of thinking. His eyes behold the purpose of creation. His ears hear the music of cosmic life. His hands hold on to cosmic intentions. His feet set the cosmic life in motion. He walks on earth, yet walks in the destiny of heaven. Angels enjoy his being on earth. This is the glory of unity born of love." (Love and God, p.22)

"remember there are thousands of records showing (debt forgiving was a) solution that was employed in #Babylon: "

Quote

" An important role of palace rulers, for instance, was to prevent interest-bearing debt – and subsequent foreclosure, especially by palace revenue collectors – from stripping away the citizenry’s basic means of self-support. Royal “clean slates” preserved economic solvency by annulling agrarian “barley” debts (but not commercial “silver” debts), reversing land forfeitures and freeing debt pledges from bondage. This meant that indebted citizens could lose their liberty and self-support lands only temporarily.

The Near East thus managed to avert the debt problem that plagued classical antiquity. Although debt forced war widows and orphans into dependency and obliged the sick, infirm or others to pledge and then lose their land’s crop rights to creditors at the top of the economic pyramid, such forfeitures were limited to merely temporary duration (viz. the Jubilee Year of Leviticus 25 and its Babylonian antecedents). But they became permanent in Greece and Rome, reducing much of the population to the status of bondservants and unfree dependents.

This is primarily what distinguishes the Greek and Roman oligarchies from the Near Eastern mixed economies. It proved much easier to cancel debts owed to the palace and its collectors in Mesopotamia than to annul debts owed to individual creditors acting on their own in classical times.

Debt was the lever that made the land transferable in traditional societies, which usually had restrictions to prevent self-support land from being alienated outside of the family or clan. (Hudson and Levine 1999 gives examples.) By holding that the essence of private property is its ability to be sold or forfeited irreversibly, Roman law removed the archaic checks to foreclosure that prevented property from being concentrated in the hands of the few. In practice, this Roman concept of property is essentially creditor-oriented, and quickly became predatory.

Wealthy Greek and Roman families controlled handicraft production, trade and credit directly rather than coordinating these activities via the temples and palaces. Yet classical antiquity’s aristocratic attitude viewed commercial enterprise as demeaning and corrupting. The details of trade and enterprise typically were left to outsiders or to slaves and other subordinates acting as on-the-spot managers, organizers and middlemen.

Most enterprising individuals were drawn from the bottom ranks of the social scale, typified by the fictional but paradigmatic freedman Trimalchio in Petronius’s comedy dating from the time of Augustus. “The greater a man’s dignitas,” D’Arms (1981:45) has pointed out, “the more likely that his involvement [in business] was indirect and discreet, camouflaged behind that of an undistinguished freedman, – client, partner, ‘front man,’ or ‘friend,’” and leaving management of their affairs to slaves or other subordinates.

Although we might expect Romans at the high end of the economic spectrum to have enormous personal fortunes corresponding to the city-state’s great riches (parasitic as these may have been), Heichelheim (1970:125) notes that its leading families spent beyond their means, running up catastrophic debts in their drive for status and power. This behavior “finds no analogy at the time of the Golden Age of Greece either among private individuals or among princes.”

In light of this longue durée, the problem for economic historians is to explain why commerce and enterprise yielded to a Dark Age. What stifled enterprise thousands of years after the Near Eastern takeoff? For a century the culprit was assumed to be state regulation. But, it was the temples and palaces of Sumer and Babylonia that first introduced most basic commercial innovations, including the first formal prices and markets. The collapse of antiquity can be traced more to oligarchies capturing the state and dismantling the checks and balances that had kept economies in the Near East from polarizing to so fatal an extent between creditors and debtors, patrons and their clients, free men and slaves.

The ascent of Rome saw laws become more creditor-oriented and property appropriations more irreversible, while the tax burden was shifted increasingly onto the lower orders.

There are actually considerably fewer records from Rome, which means we have to think why Everything is wrong:

Quote ...twenty-first century globalists, have been morally blinded by a dark legacy of some twenty-eight centuries of decontextualized history. This has left us, for all practical purposes, utterly ignorant of the corrective civilizational model that is needed to save ourselves from tottering into bleak neo-feudal barbarism.

This corrective model actually existed and flourished in the economic functioning of Mesopotamian societies during the third and second millennia B.C. It can be termed Clean Slate amnesty...

...amargi and níg-si-sá in Sumerian, andurārum and mīšarum in Akkadian (the language of Babylonia), šudūtu and kirenzi in Hurrian, para tarnumar in Hittite, and deror (דְּרוֹר) in Hebrew: It is the necessary and periodic erasure of the debts of small farmers — necessary because such farmers are, in any society in which interest on loans is calculated, inevitably subject to being impoverished, then stripped of their property, and finally reduced to servitude (including the sexual servitude of daughters and wives) by their creditors, creditors. The latter inevitably seek to effect the terminal polarization of society into an oligarchy of predatory creditors cannibalizing a sinking underclass mired in irreversible debt peonage.

In ancient Mesopotamian societies it was understood that freedom was preserved by protecting debtors. In what we call Western Civilization, that is, in the plethora of societies that have followed the flowering of the Greek poleis beginning in the eighth century B.C., just the opposite...

For us freedom has been understood to sanction the ability of creditors to demand payment from debtors without restraint or oversight. This is the freedom to cannibalize society. This is the freedom to enslave. This is, in the end, the freedom proclaimed by the Chicago School and the mainstream of American economists.

Any and every revolution that we wage, no matter how righteous in its conception, is destined to fail.

The true roots of Western Civilization lie not in the Greek poleis that lacked royal oversight to cancel debts, but in the Bronze Age Mesopotamian societies that understood how life, liberty and land would be cyclically restored to debtors again and again. But, in the eighth century B.C., along with the alphabet coming from the Near East to the Greeks, so came the concept of calculating interest on loans. This concept of exponentially-increasing interest was adopted by the Greeks — and subsequently by the Romans — without the balancing concept of Clean Slate amnesty.

So it was inevitable that, over the centuries of Greek and Roman history, increasing numbers of small farmers became irredeemably indebted and lost their land. It likewise was inevitable that their creditors amassed huge land holdings and established themselves in parasitic oligarchies. This innate tendency to social polarization arising from debt unforgiveness is the original and incurable curse on our post-eighth-century-B.C. Western Civilization, the lurid birthmark that cannot be washed away or excised.

For centuries English-speakers have recited the Lord’s Prayer with the assumption that they were merely asking for the forgiveness of their trespasses, their theological sins: “… and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us….” is the translation presented in the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. What is lost in translation is the fact that Jesus came “to preach the gospel to the poor … to preach the acceptable Year of the Lord”: He came, that is, to proclaim a Jubilee Year, a restoration of deror for debtors: He came to institute a Clean Slate Amnesty (which is what Hebrew דְּרוֹר connotes in this context).

So consider the passage from the Lord’s Prayer literally: … καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν: “… and send away (ἄφες) for us our debts (ὀφειλήματα).” The Latin translation is not only grammatically identical to the Greek, but also shows the Greek word ὀφειλήματα revealingly translated as debita: … et dimitte nobis debita nostra: “… and discharge (dimitte) for us our debts (debita).” There was consequently, on the part of the creditor class, a most pressing and practical reason to have Jesus put to death: He was demanding that they restore the property they had rapaciously taken from their debtors. And after His death there was likewise a most pressing and practical reason to have His Jubilee proclamation of a Clean Slate Amnesty made toothless, that is to say, made merely theological: So the rich could continue to oppress the poor, forever and ever. Amen.

Judaism or Jesus, you can find the same message as the Babylonian. Same thing. Why might Jews be notorious for rebelling against the Romans?

To put it more blandly and Encyclopedicly:

Quote In order for a Mesopotamian monarch to fulfill his duty to the gods to shepherd his people properly, he was expected to bring about reform of abuses. Some rulers considered themselves reformers when they declared in royal pronouncements that they would fashion laws to make society more just and equitable. These kings maintained that they had a religious obligation as a trustee of their deity to protect their people and restore order so that the strong would not oppress the weak; widows and orphans would be cared for; and the poor would be released from their debts. The earliest attested reform document was issued by Uru’inimgina of Lagash, circa 2400 b.c.e. During the Old Babylonian period (circa 1894 - circa 1595 b.c.e.), some kings are known to have declared that, as the gods’ trustee, they would restore order by reducing burdensome debt. In the prologue to his laws, Hammurabi (circa 1792 - circa 1750 b.c.e.) stated that as the “pious prince, who venerates the gods,” he had a duty “to make justice prevail in the land, to abolish the wicked and the evil, to prevent the strong from oppressing the weak.” He also claimed that he quelled rebellion, guided his people, established justice, and enhanced the well-being of his people. The ruler who claimed to have instituted equity called himself a shar mesharim, “king of justice.”

During the Old Babylonian period, the king might issue periodic decrees that attempted to redress domestic economic problems and thereby proclaim himself to be a reformer who restored justice to the land. These releases, called mesharum-edicts, were issued at the king’s accession or irregularly on an as-needed basis during the king’s reign. The main focus of such edicts was to cancel existing debts, mainly agricultural loans. They provided relief for debtors bound into servitude, annulment of the debtor’s sale of his property to pay off arrears, and cancellations of various unpaid land taxes and outstanding non-commercial loans.

The tenth ruler of the First Dynasty of Babylon, Ammi-saduqa, who ruled circa 1646 - circa 1626 b.c.e., issued a reform edict that included many provisions referring to the cancellation of debts, a royal tradition that dated back to about 2400 b.c.e.., when king Uru’inimgina of Lagash canceled obligations resulting from nonpayment of debt and slave status resulting from punishment for theft or murder. Ammi-saduqa’s edict freed only citizens from debt obligations.

The same principle is evident in all the oligarchical #history, interest is interesting but the real passion is to collect collateral.

That is why #Europe was horrified by Thomas Paine and the American Revolution--and subsequently Europe received "nominal" revolutions which merely pushed kings aside and let #banks ensconce themselves in protective legislation. Eventually, of course, the favor was extended as the Federal #Reserve #System.

Sure, all of our efforts and complaints will fall useless as long as we assert Constitutions that give credence to the parasitic class, who would prefer you not to be able to believe that their nefarious machinations can be whisked away by the wave of a magic wand. That "wand" is the pen of the legislator, or autocrat or tyrant if need be.

It would be preferred for you to have a theological Jesus based on things he never said, thinking that is extremely important, while going around oblivious to the basics available in #Leviticus or the #Lord's #Prayer.

There are two alternatives to not following that advice:

Revolution or Collapse

We are too opiated to accomplish a Revolution, so this is almost a done deal."

#quote from #pa

ramnath@nerdpol.ch

#Vedic #Astrology assigns deities to #planets, and according to the #ancient #palm #leaf called Vasistha Nadi, the names of the grahas or planets (yet to be discovered) would be #Prajapati ( #Uranus), #Varuna ( #Neptune), and #Yama ( #Pluto). As Neptune is moving from #Aquarius to Pisces, we focus on the effects of Neptune, with Varuna as Presiding Deity.

enter image description here
Varuna Peyarchi: Neptune to Pisces
On 18-19 February 2023, Neptune transited from Aquarius to Pisces and is currently sandhi 0.00° Pisces (deprived of energy) where it will remain for a little more than three weeks. Sandi means “deprived of energy” so the effect of Neptune moving to Pisces will not be pronounced for some time.

As referenced earlier, we look to outer planets when they change signs. Neptune has capacity for non-attachment, infinite love and beauty, charity, altruism, bliss and rapture, and awareness of divinity, transcendence of duality.

Neptune likes to transcend, to merge, to flow, to melt, to yield. Neptune can accept changes, allow a changing environment, and can love selflessly and impersonally. This is an important capacity of Neptune, for most young people and youth take love as a matter of possession and territory – possession of someone’s mind, and territory of their body. Nothing could be further from love. Dreams of love and idealism, infatuation and attachment all have to have both feet on the ground and squarely detached with your own boundaries intact around YOU.

Neptune is traditionally seen as the planet that imagines, envisions, dreams and inspires. While Neptune offers all that, and more: to fantasize, to heighten, one has to keep their feet on the ground or end up helpless, spaced out, dissolving into chaos, and prey to drugs and the unconscious mind. One can self-destruct, abdicate all responsibility and end up sabotaging themselves. While Neptune – always near the Collective Unconscious – offers access to the psychic realms, and psi experiences – these can all be achieved with self discipline, self-control and self-respect. Psychedelic drugs and the like are not necessary to achieve this. You can reach the same high meditating as those people who tell they get a high using bongs.

What will Neptune’s transit in Pisces bring? One would hope for a gentler, kinder, more spiritually inspired world. However, this is not historically what we have seen before. Neptune represents secret plots, rebellions, and sedition, and Neptune in Pisces will be a time of tremendous idealism associated with an urge to dissolve tired old paradigms and world views in favour of a more charitable universal vision. We live in an era where significant changes have taken place (our great-grandparents would not recognise our modern, electronic world – except, perhaps, for the radio and print news. So much has changed with living, co-habitation, housing, working, travel, child-care centres and the gig economy.

Pisces is a water sign, a moksha sign, and harbours great spiritual awareness, creative achievement, and compassionate action. But when disconnected from the All, from peers, society and culture, in its lower expression, Pisces has a tendency for escapism, deception, and delusion. This is the signification of the fish going in two directions, we can pull towards separation and duality, we can pull towards the experience of everything is Atma, and the lifting of the veil of illusion.

#Neptune in #Pisces provides the impetus towards transcendence of duality, unity consciousness, surrender and non-attachment. So Neptune in Pisces seeks to transcend, to merge, to surrender, to sacrifice, to let go and let God. On the other hand, Neptune seeks to dream, to inspire, to glamorise, to idealise, to imagine, to envision, to fantasise, to intuit, to enchant, to beguile. In summary, the positive benefits of Neptune are accessed when we are grounded and following dharma.
About #Lord #Varuna
Lord Varuna
Lord Varuna is revered in Hinduism as the God of water and his sway extends to the underwater world. The Hindu Goddess Varuni is his consort and a Makara serves as his mount. According to the Puranas, he is the son of sage Kashyapa and one of the twelve Gods considered as Adityas, owing to their origin from the Mother of Gods, Aditi. Varuna possesses the lordship of the waters and was entrusted with the task of overseeing the clouds and rains. He is thus known as the king of waters and controls the Oceans, Seas, Rivers, and all other water bodies. During the Mahabharata period, the great Pandava, Arjuna was hailed as the son of Lord Varuna. It is also widely believed that praying to him protects us from thunder and lighting.

#Punarvasu #Nakshatra in #Astrology makes one optimistic, self-confident, honest, gives overly simplistic life and one who lives in the moment as it comes. The native is jovial and humorous, sweet spoken, lover of harmony, social, friendly, and has a good nature.

Punarvasu Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Tiryaka Mukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras which have 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 #House
The symbol of Punarvasu is a house. The house indicates that the Jeeva got the body or a new house.

Deity: Goddess #Aadhithi
Aadhithi, who is the parent of the universe and the one who establishes the universe, brings up the twins of Punarvasu by feeding the offerings. The ruling deity of Punarvasu Nakshathra is Goddess Aadhithi. Aadhithi can be split into Aadhi (beginning) and Ethi(end). It means the one that exists at the beginning and the end. She is the wife of sage Kashyapa, and she gives birth to all Gods.

Aadhithi, with sage Kashyapa, has 33 sons, out of which 12 are called Aadhithya. She is also the mother of God Indhra. Based on the description, it appears that the Earth is also called Aadhithi. She is a fertile land where seeds can germinate, and seedlings can grow into plants. In the case of the pregnancy cycle, this period is of ovulation of an egg.

Aadhithi is also called the mother of eight sons i.e., importance, ego, the sun, and 5 senses. She gives happiness and is a Goddess of salvation. She enlightens life with her halo. She demonstrates pure feelings in human form. She removes all pains, sufferings, and sins.

Characteristics of Punarvasu Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Punarvasu Nakshatra is the #female #cat. A female cat is moody, loves to hunt, and is far more territorial than a male cat.
They chew their claw, enjoy fresh food and water. A cat in the wild would rather sleep in a den than a fluffy bed because they are hunters, and they need to feel safe.
Cats are smarter than dogs and can easily open doors, fridge, and get into any space they feel like.
In ancient times, a cat was the symbolism of royalty. In the great culture of ancient Egypt, which is few thousand years old, the cat was not only a symbol of royal status, but also mysticism.
Cats have the ability to see spirits, give omens, and help their owner to increase their psychic powers. This is why a psychic with a cat is always seen in movies.
Cats are also protectors because they always try to clean your aura by rubbing against you, and if any danger comes, they will defend you.
Punarvasu natives are natural protectors of the zodiac. They always feel they must protect things around them and their loved ones.
Punarvasu, in the Cancer side of the zodiac, can become moody and stubborn.
The natives must always have fresh food and clean water.
On the Gemini side, these natives are excellent hunters, although on the Cancer side, they are still hunters but will only hunt when necessary and not for sports.
Just like how cats zone to its target, whether it’s a rat, bird or a snake in the backyard, Punarvasu natives always have a set target in their life, which they always achieve.
Punarvasu is the #birth #star of #Lord #Rama, the Indian God, who was the 7th reincarnation of Lord #Vishnu.
The story of Lord Rama is what simply plays out in the life of a Punarvasu native.
Lord Rama was born in a royal family and had a stepmother who favored her own son (Bharata) over him to be the next king of the kingdom.
He won the heart of his wife (Sita) and father-in-law (Janaka) by breaking the “Pinaka” bow of Shiva, which no one on earth could pick up easily (Bow and arrow is the symbol of this Nakshatra) other than a noble man.
When time came for him to claim his throne, his stepmother Kaikeyi demanded him to be exiled into the forest for 14 years because she wanted her own son (Bharata) to take on the royal throne.
Lord Rama, being a noble man did not desire for any kingdom, earthly enjoyments and lavish lifestyle, and simply told his father that he would do what his mother, Kaikeyi, wished and left the kingdom.
He wandered with his younger brother (Laxman) and wife (Sita) in the forest, but towards the end, Sita was abducted by Ravan, the intelligent demon.
Rama sought the assistance of an army of divine monkeys and their leader, Hanuman, to get Sita back.
They crossed into Sri Lanka by throwing rocks in the ocean as a bridge and walked across.
After completing his exile term, Rama eventually defeated Ravana, got his wife back, and returned to his kingdom.
This is the theme of Punarvasu (return of the light). No matter how dark the hour is for these people, they always rise and come back to the status of king.
There were scandals attached to Rama and his wife as people accused Sita of going with Ravan and had to pass the test of Agni, the fire God.
She passed the test but had a sadness that her husband doubted her loyalty.
Sita delivered twin boys, Luv & Kush, but after their birth, Sita was taken back into the Earth after repeated accusations and demand for the test of purity.
Just like Rama had to take an exile on his own behalf even though he could’ve refused it, the natives of this Nakshatra find themselves on a self- inflicted exile in life for at least 10-14 years where they feel like a vagabond, not knowing where they are going, what they are doing and struggling.
In the life of a young individual, one may just want to do back packing across the world, sleeping on floor, hostels, eating whatever they can, and experience the world.
When it comes to relationships, they tend to go through multiple relationships or marriages as they may suspect one of the spouses or girlfriend/boyfriends for having an affair.
Punarvasu stands for repeated themes alongside the return of the light symbol; hence, these natives always have to do things repeatedly to achieve them.
