1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,120 Guru Guru Tamo Dhamma Satya Satya Prakrama 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,260 Nimisho Nimisha Sagvi Vajas Patir Dharadihi 3 00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:14,600 These are the lines from Vishnu Sahasranam, a thousand names of Vishnu. 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,760 It says, who, the one who is foremost among preceptors, teachers, gurus, 5 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,000 one who is aboard of all desired things, one who is a truth, 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,400 one who is of great valor, one whose eyes are closed, one with eyes closed, 7 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,200 adorned with garland, adorned with the Lord of speech, one with vast knowledge. 8 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,300 Why are we speaking about Vishnu as Guru here? 9 00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:50,400 Because we come to the eighth nakshatra of Pushya, which falls in the zodiac sign of cancer. 10 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,300 This nakshatra falls between 3 degrees, 20 minutes of cancer, 11 00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:59,200 16 degrees, 40 minutes of cancer. 12 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,800 So what is this nakshatra give energies and life themes to us about? 13 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:11,500 Well, its nature first of all as we focus is swift, so it acts very swiftly on everything. 14 00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:15,400 Its Gana is there, so it will be inclined to do the right thing always. 15 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,900 Dev Ganas are always inclined towards higher learning, higher knowledge, etc. 16 00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:26,400 And the D.A.D. most importantly is Brihaspati, that is why we took the Guru lines from Vishnu as Sranvara. 17 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:34,300 Brihaspati is the advisor to the devas, the teacher, the Guru of the devas themselves is Brihaspati. 18 00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:42,300 So the energy of this nakshatra is patience, wisdom, kindness. 19 00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:47,500 They can be optimistic by nature, especially with Leo, growth and positivity in the first pada, 20 00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:51,300 because its cancer going into Leo. 21 00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:57,700 They have a theme of neglecting the spouse in favor of their duties or work. 22 00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:03,000 They can have analysis of relationship, they can be dependable in pada too. 23 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,600 Vamvargo, because cancer goes into vvargo in Namamsa, they do a lot of analysis of just about everything. 24 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:16,500 Blind to dangers is another theme, as if having a tunnel vision of some sort. 25 00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:25,700 You know, they are not aware of something going south around them immediately in their physical vicinity or in the vicinity of their life. 26 00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:35,500 Jealousy can be another aspect to them on the downside, which especially can be in the fourth pada, with cancer going into Scorpio. 27 00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:43,200 They help selflessly, they have generosity for community in pada one, maybe even in pada three, 28 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,900 because cancer is going into Libra, Libra is all about others, the community. 29 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:56,400 Very futuristic, they make great hosts, hosting people over for lunch, dinner, that kind of a thing. 30 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,800 They can be forgiving, they love to share with people, they have a very nourishing speech. 31 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,900 Pushya means the one who nourishes, so it's a beautiful nakshatra. 32 00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:12,700 Nourishing speech and voice, they have universal compassion. 33 00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:19,500 They are artistic, could be very artistic people, especially in the third pada, with Libra there. 34 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:26,300 Teaching and nourishing children, especially in pada one with cancer going into Leo. 35 00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:33,800 So what does the beautiful Pushya nakshatra, the nourisher teaches as lifeless and don't hold back action, 36 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,300 thinking there isn't enough knowledge or wisdom yet. 37 00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:44,100 Both effort and knowledge are necessary, that's a very deep one, isn't it? 38 00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:51,000 We hold ourselves back thinking, oh, I don't have enough wisdom yet to start acting on something. 39 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,700 Well, you have some wisdom to start with, let's go with just that, shall we? 40 00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:00,300 So you go with whatever knowledge and wisdom you have, don't hold back your action 41 00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:07,800 based on thinking that there isn't enough wisdom yet, because Pushya is more inclined towards learning all the time. 42 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,900 That's where this comes from. 43 00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:17,200 You keep learning, learning, learning one after the other books and get degrees after degrees, you're never doing anything for anyone. 44 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:25,200 Mantra is Vishnu's asranama, because Vishnu is the biggest guru, the guru of gurus, guru of devas. 45 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,600 The ages this nakshatra will become very active, 16, 24, 33 and 40. 46 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,000 As you can see, these are dominant critical times in our lives, 16, 24, 33, 40. 47 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,800 But it is not a very frequently occurring one. 48 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:48,200 So whenever this occurs in whichever house it occurs, this will be the dominant theme of that particular age. 49 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,500 Next on our list would be, asleshana-kshatra. 50 00:04:53,500 --> 00:05:07,000 I will do that next.
