1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Adi Devo, Maha Devo, Devesho, Deva, Vrind Guru. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Wonderful lines from Vishnu Sahasranama. 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000 We are speaking about the Guru of the Devas, who is Vishnu. 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Why are we speaking about Guru here? 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000 Because we come to the 22nd Naksatra of Shravana. 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000 Shravana Naksatra falls between 10 degrees of Capricorn 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000 and goes up to 23 degrees 20 minutes of Capricorn in the zodiac. 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000 So this is as Capricorn. We are in the heart of Capricorn as it gets. 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Navamsa goes from Aries to Cancer. 10 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000 And so what are the life themes, energies and the nature of this Naksatra? 11 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Well, the nature is movable, which means they are constantly in the movement of the mind. 12 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 So they have to start grounding in a way that they can produce something practical, 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000 because it is moving a lot. 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,000 The Gana is Deva Gana. So they are having an inclination towards learning higher wisdom, higher knowledge, etc. 15 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000 The deity is Vishnu himself. 16 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:23,000 And there are stories and mythologies, but we are just discussing the life themes and energies of Naksatra here in this series. 17 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000 So what's the energy of Shravana Naksatra? If any of your personal planets and points, 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Mercury, Venus, Mars, Moon, Rahu, Ketu fall in this Naksatra in these degrees of Capricorn, 19 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000 it means they have to learn to listen to good counsel. 20 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000 This is a big theme of Shravana Naksatra, to listen to good counsel when it is given, 21 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000 not be a stubborn ass about it. 22 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Take good advice given to make progress in life. 23 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000 People offer us advices from all kinds of common people, even cab drivers, right? 24 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Everybody offers us some advice, unexpected one at unexpected points in our life. 25 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Shravana Naksatra is that kind. 26 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Somebody will offer you an advice, a good counsel. 27 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000 You need to listen to that and implement that. 28 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Think about it. Go deep into that. 29 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000 They have a fixed nature. They are clever. 30 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000 They have social connections with spirituality, meaning they want to go outward. 31 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Remember Capricorn, so it wants to go outward into spiritual groups and participate. 32 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000 And there they will get the counsel. There they will get their learning. 33 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000 They are happy and easygoing. 34 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000 They have a sense of passive receptivity. 35 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Capricorn being ruled by Saturn has a passive kind of receptivity. 36 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000 And this is sort of the higher wisdom learning Saturn, if you will, in this Naksatra. 37 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Idealism drive is there, especially in the first padha, going into Aries. 38 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Materialistic can be in the second. Capricorn going into Taurus, 39 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000 two fixed earth signs. It can be highly materialistic and drive to achieve something, 40 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000 because it's an Artha padha. 41 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:20,000 They can be clever and shrewd thinking in the third padha, going into Gemini, the Aries sign. 42 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,000 Emotional connection to people can be in the fourth one. Capricorn going into Cancer. 43 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,000 And since this is Gana, it's Dave, so they can be highly emotional in their connect to people, 44 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000 if the planets are in the last padha. 45 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:47,000 The life lesson for the Sranana Naksatra then becomes, inquisitiveness of the goal is required to find the path, 46 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000 not aimless wandering. Why are we speaking about aimless wandering? 47 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Because the nature of this Naksatra is movable. 48 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000 Something that is like the breeze or the air that is constantly moving, 49 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:10,000 has a difficult time or a challenge adopting a fixed target and setting your mind towards it, isn't it? 50 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000 How will you set targets for the wind? It is constantly moving. 51 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,000 That's the issue with this Sranana Naksatra. It's moving from one thing to another. 52 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:29,000 So, as the symbolism of the year is there, you need to listen to good advice, the council, 53 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000 and move towards the goal. Now, what is the goal itself? 54 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Sranana Naksatra people need to get inquisitive about the goal in order to find the path. 55 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,000 They need to discover what is my path in life and then go towards it. 56 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:53,000 Unless they get inquisitive about the path, unless they start listening to good counsel, they will not make it anywhere. 57 00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Naksatras can be exalted and have wonderful themes of life, but unless a person does something with it, 58 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000 you are not going anywhere. The mantra for this Naksatra is Vishnu Sasanama, 59 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:11,000 because Vishnu is the ruling deity, the governor of this Naksatra, so it can become very powerful for them. 60 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:18,000 To recite this, listen to this, tune in, tune into the energies, like tuning into a radio station, folks. 61 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:32,000 The ages active for this Naksatra is 5, 15, 33, 35, 41, 50, 55, 47, 58, and 77. 62 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Moderately active Naksatra, depending upon where it falls in which of the houses and what age you are currently running. 63 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Next we shall talk about Dhanishtha, Naksatra, take care, be safe.
