Dear All, Jai Shri Krishna,

As it was discussed last week about Rohini Nakashtra and its entry for 15 days when Chandan is offered to Thakorji, I would like to know its importance in Pushtimargya? and What is exactly is Rohini Nakashtra?

Warm Wishes Jigna

Jai Shree Krishna Well in the month of Jyesht starting from this day for a period of 15 days are the days associated with extreme heat. Also Rohini as a Nakshatra is of special importance as thsi is same Nakshatra in which Shree Thakorji was Born in Saraswat kalpa. More details on Rohini Nakshatra.... This is the birth nakshatra of Lord Krishna. The word is derived from Rohan, which means to rise or to bring into existence. It extends in the Vrishabha Rasi from 10 degree to 23:20. The lord of it is Shukra, the symbol a Cart drawn by Cows. The Devata is Brahma, the prime creator of all things living, from the meanest insect to Man, the beauty of the weird, the paragon of animals. Rohini- group therefore encompasses everything that comes within the range of creation—beasts, birds, animals etc. It would also connote the process of growing, begetting, birth, production etc, in brief production, birth and creation. Rising means process of ascending that is to say the creative evolution, the cultivation and the improvement. Mythology describes Rohini the wife of Chandra. Of all the 27 Stars-all wives of Chandra-Rohini is said to have been fond of fine dress, cosmetics and decor and was the most beloved of Chandra. The Rohini (group) is, in the line with this, considered to be the cause of a taste for fine dress, perfume, and other articles of toilet. Creation continues to exist mainly on the basis of food; and Rohini is supposed to be the cause of food. The direct and immediate cause of food is Agni and Brahma the remote cause. From this point of view the God who gives food, that is Agni, is the spiritual principle of Rohini (group) Nakshatra and because, Brahma the remote cause of food is also the Devata of Rohini; the range of influences of this group runs over the whole gamut of the visible and invisible animal world. Those born in the star Rohini are agriculturists, experts, well-behaved, handsome, good speakers and poets. They are stable minded, respected, enjoyers and interested in lovemaking. They are of sweet-speech, intelligent, capable and bright. They are long-lived and perform accepted jobs, religious, truthful and help those who have helped them. Kings respect them. They respect gods and Brahmins and know the science of meters and metaphors. They are able servants of their lords and determined. They are endowed with good looking hands and wide forehead, handsome, independent, loved by their children, experts, wealthy with respect to corns and money, have desire to wear new clothes, suffer from eye diseases, little feared and play with women.

Jai Shri Krishna, Thanks for the explanation. If Thakorji is born in this Nakashtra then When it is not celebrated as Thakorji's birthday? And why Jamnashtami considered his birthday? Confused still...please clear my doubts. Regds Jigna

Jai Shree Krishna Jigna ben, The Nakshatra does not come once in a year but keep repeating itself, many times in a year. The Ancient Rishis divided the 360 degree zodiac into 12 houses of 30 degrees each and further subdivided it into 27 Nakshatras or star-constellations of 13.20 degrees each. These Nakshatras are further subdivided into four quarters each called Pada. The placement of a planet in these divisions and subdivisions was studied to fine tune the predictions. The nakshatra in which your moon is placed in your birth chart is called your Janma Nakshatra. Hence, Each Nakshatra repeats itself. Even on the day of Bhadrapad, in krushnapaksha, on ashtami, in Saraswatkalpa, When Shree Thakorji too Avtaar, on that day too, it was Rohini Nakshatra. Further, it is not necessary that the Nakshatra will be come on the same day each year. For example: The Rohini Nakshatra starts form May 25th this year for a period of 15 days, that is on Beej, Jyesht month, in Krushnapaksha. Where as last year, The Rohini Nakshatra started on Chatt, Jyesht month, in Shuklapaksha. Hope now things are clear. Further we Celebrate Thakorji Birthday, not the planetory postion underwhich he had taken avtaar, hence we celebrate Janmashtami. However, certain festivals are controlled by Nakshatra. Another one being Jyeshtabhishek Snan yatra, which is celebrated as per the Jyeshta Nakshatra. And again Rath Yatra too in Pushya Nakshatra.
