1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,320 Mooladharaikandilaya Brahma-Grandevi-Bhedini 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,240 Manipurantharudhita Vishnugrandevi-Bhedini 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,840 Agnacakratharalastha Rudra-Grandevi-Bhedini 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,600 These are the lines from Lalitha Sahasranama, the thousand names of the Divine Mother Goddess. 5 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,120 Why are we speaking of the Divine Goddess here? 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:33,120 Because now we come to the ninth nakshatra of Ashlesha, which is ruled by the Nagas, which all stands for Kundalini. 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,120 What do these lines mean? 8 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,480 She who resides in the Mooladhara chakra in the form of four petal lotus. 9 00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:46,560 She who breaks the knot of Brahma helps us to cross the ties of our birth. 10 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360 She who exists in Manipuraka chakra. 11 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,400 She who breaks the ties of Vishnu, who helps us cross the Maya. 12 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,360 She who lives between the two eyelids in the form of Agnacakra. 13 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:07,600 She who breaks the ties of Rudra helps us to cross the ties of attachments of any kind. 14 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,600 Beautiful Lalitha Sahasranama. 15 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:19,600 So now we come to Ashlesha nakshatra, which falls between 16 degrees 40 minutes of cancer. 16 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,600 And goes up till the end of cancer, 30 degrees of cancer. 17 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:30,600 So we are finishing up the cancer sign and we are also finishing up the first nine of the 27 nakshatras. 18 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,600 This is the end of a cycle, so to speak. We shall examine this in detail later. 19 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,600 But let's see what Ashlesha brings us. 20 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:45,600 It goes, it's nature. First of all, we are talking about the energies of the nakshatra and the life themes in the series. 21 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:55,600 So nature is sharp. Ashlesha, if your personal planets are in Ashlesha, it can be sharp tongue, you know, can speak very harsh. 22 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:05,600 Or if you are Jupiter and other planets are present, your intelligence, your understanding can be very discerning in nature. 23 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:14,600 Sharp disarmament. It can mean any number of things. Sharp does not necessarily mean bad. Okay, I want you to get that. 24 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:21,600 So the energies of this nakshatra are protection and defense. They can be heard easily. 25 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,600 They are very sensitive inside, although they appear harsh outside. 26 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:35,600 They are highly intuitive and highly clingy. We need to feel connected to each other, especially in Padha 4 with Pisces. 27 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:43,600 Why? Because this nakshatra is ruled by the Nagas, the snakes, the deity of the snakes. 28 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,600 The deity is important to understand in every nakshatra. 29 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:53,600 So snakes symbolically are attached to the ground. They are always embracing the ground. 30 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,600 They are very sensitive to ground energies as a result, these nakshatra people. 31 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,600 If your dominant number of points in planets are present in Ashlesha, you will be very ground sensitive. 32 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:13,600 Energy of the ground, energy of the earth. They could be action oriented, especially in Padha 2, because it's an artha, 33 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:23,600 going into Capricorn and Navamsa. Their life themes could be more about transformation, shedding of old skin, 34 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:30,600 like snakes, like Nagas, and moving through life. They could be introverted, very quiet natured people. 35 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:37,600 They could be irritable easily. They are very vulnerable. They have a big need for privacy. 36 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:43,600 On the downside, they could be deceptive and suspicious, especially in Padha 3 with the Kamapada, 37 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:51,600 which goes into Aquarius, in Navamsa from Cancer. Aquarius people can be secretive, deceptive. 38 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,600 So what's the life lesson for this beautiful nakshatra life lesson? 39 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:06,600 It is to live seductively without being seduced. Embrace with dance, yet be ready to change at any time. 40 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:13,600 So this is a very dynamic nakshatra, as you can see. It has an energy of sensitivity to the ground. 41 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:20,600 It has the energy of transformation through life. And you have to live in your own seductive energy. 42 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:28,600 This is the life lesson of Ashlesha. The mantra is Alita Satsangama, the beautiful thousand names of the Mother Goddess. 43 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:37,600 Why? Because this is the best thousand names where you can find all about Kundalini. 44 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,600 If you want to understand Kundalini, just recite Lalita Satsangama. 45 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:55,600 The ages that this nakshatra is active is 4, 14, 17, 27, 30, 40, 33, 41 and 65. 46 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:06,600 Next we will talk about which one is that Magha nakshatra, which will begin in the next one. Take care.
