Bharani Nakshatra and Fertility: The Cycle of Life under the rule of Venus
port-br
When watching films or plays that take place in the Middle Ages, you notice that some of them have the figure of the “herald”, those messengers who arrive at the location and open the letter (which looks like a parchment) and read the message aloud. The Heralds carried announcements and messages from the kingdom to the population, made solemn proclamations, verified titles of nobility, announced war and proclaimed peace. They were a preform of diplomacy. When they were going to announce something to the people, they would stand on a platform in the middle of the public square and shout the real news, usually wearing clothes that differentiated them to attract more attention.
Bharani Nakshatra (Aries 13º20' - 26º40') are the heralds of the energy of Venus, as they act as messengers or representatives of the essence of Venus in the world, carrying Venusian qualities, manifesting them in their lives and behavior. Venus is advocacy, seeks equity and is a peacemaker, devoid of aggression, but when it joins Mars, aggression and anger can be used as a tool of diplomacy (description by mike sleeping dog). In the eyes of Vedic elders, the star of this nakshatra forms the female sexual organ and thus became its symbol. This organ symbolizes the fertility aspect of life and a portal between two different worlds. In the Vedic point of view, it is described as death and birth, transformation and regeneration. It also represents restriction, care, jealousy, sacrifice, sexuality, nurturing and maternal love. Bharani carries all these attributes. It is the star of restriction that has the power to cleanse and remove impurities.
The main deity of Bharani is Yama, the god of death. Yama had a twin sister named Yami, who is considered the lady of life. Yama and Yami are a divine pair of creative deities. Yama is what connects mortality and immortality that carves mortal paths through death. In it is time and through time it describes a course for life, after the course life is absorbed into time. Yami is moved by Maya's emotions and love. Yama is mortal, but Yami is not. The procreation of mortals was granted thanks to the sacrifice that Yama made in annihilating himself, thus creating a debt (cyclic yajña). Through debt, exchange is created, and it is through exchange that the world moves forward.
There is a story that Yami fell in love with her brother Yama and wanted to have sex with him, arguing that this would not break dharma. She wished Yama to induce the embryo in her womb. It was a natural instinct that awakened in her mind and body after she reached puberty.
"She offered many arguments as to why this would not break dharma, but he knew that sexual intercourse with his own sister would go against dharma in the mortal world, where every action provokes a seen or unseen reaction. His reward for such self-control was to become chief justice of the universe." - Mike Sleeping Dog.
Bharani is a 16-year-old girl about to deflower, a baby in the womb or a person who faces the Yamadutas (heavenly angels whose task is to guide souls in the afterlife process) after death. Because of its childlike quality, Bharani is one of the most eager nakshatras. Just like a child wants to experience the entire environment, Bharani natives want to experience the environment to the fullest. There is a primal innocence in the way they experience things, people and places. They may go by instinct instead of reason. Most of your feelings and desires are so overwhelming that very little can be done to contain or calm them. Once again, the evolutionary status of the soul in question comes into play. All Bharani natives have a creative impulse within them. Females generally express this creativity through bearing children, while males attempt to be creative on stranger levels. Bharani is a nakshatra where interaction between man and woman takes place. This makes it one of the most sexual nakshatras in the zodiac. Bharani is representative of the force of nature that creates attraction between opposites. Bharani natives experiment, surrender, become victims and try to understand this force.
Bharani is the nakshatra that belongs to the first sign of the zodiac and is the first nakshatra ruled by Venus, this symbolizes the entry of the initial energy of creative feminine energy into the zodiac. Therefore, it is a feminine nakshatra. This is no longer a surprise, as Bharani represents everything feminine. It is the second nakshatra and the first female nakshatra. Just like the number “2” in numerology, it is the initiator of the feminine principle at all levels of existence. It is the beginning of duality and maya, and in it lies the essence of the complex functioning of the feminine principle. Bharani is considered a balanced nakshatra. Bharani is actually an extreme nakshatra, but it is classified as 'Balanced' due to its tendency to balance opposite extremes like birth and death. Bharani natives often lead double lives, reaching two different extremes. So, overall, their lives can be seen as balance. It is part of the Rajas Nakshatras (rajas is action to get desires fulfilled. It is the passion that drives one to action, often not getting the expected results, which leads to more actions), this can be easily accessed from the govt. of Bharani by Venus. Venus is seen as the most rajasic among the planets. Its relationship with terrestrial life processes is very strong. In a way, you could say that it is only Venus that makes life worth living. As Bharani heralds Venusian energy, its expression here is primordial, highly concentrated and explosive (all rajasic expressions). Venus is the planet of fertility, creativity and pleasure. In Bharani, these qualities manifest in the idea of giving birth, both literally and symbolically. Fertility here is not restricted to procreation, but also the ability to create and nurture ideas, projects and new phases of life. Bharani, governed by Yama, also remembers that every beginning is accompanied by an end, a continuous cycle of renewal. Bharani represents the phase in which the seed is planted (the creative act that precedes growth. Being the first nakshatra of Venus, Bharani symbolizes fertility in its primordial state, the impulse to generate life. Fertility is linked to the feminine receptive nature, the ability to sustain life, something that Venus dominates. Bharani, with her association with the uterus, also speaks of the importance of gestation, essential elements of fertility. All goddesses, especially fertility goddesses, are linked to Venus.
Bharani is the nakshatra of karma and reincarnation, one of the least understood concepts in modern times, especially in the Western world. Bharani is the name of the stage where the masculine and feminine, which have arisen from a single genderless source, copulate and, in doing so, carry forward the process of creation.

Lord Surya (Sun god) on his Chariot Talon Abraxas
The Horses of Sun God’s Chariot
In general, the Sun God is envisioned in the form of a person sitting on a chariot drawn by seven horses with its reins in the hands of charioteer Aruḍa (who is devoid of thighs). However, to clear the doubts and various questions that arise in our minds with regard to the Sun God, His chariot with seven horses and others, one has to do an in-depth study of Vedic scriptures, Purāṇas and other literature.
It is customary to praise the Sun god with the mantra ‘saptāśva rathamārūḍham pracaṁḍam kaśyapātmajam śvēta padmadharam dēvam tam sūryam praṇamāmyaham‘ – Meaning ‘my salutations to the Sun God, who rides on a chariot with seven horses, the brightest of lights, son of Sage Kashyapa, and who holds the white lotus flower’ (Sūryāṣtakam 2nd Mantra).
1. Let us now study the interesting features of portion of the above mantra, the ‘saptāśva rathamārūḍham’. Transmitting (emitting) is the ‘characteristic feature of the light’. The source of this light is Prabhakara, prabhām prakāśam karōti, means Sūrya; He who provides light. ‘Aśva�� means ‘ray of light’. Like a ray of light, a horse also has the ‘characteristic feature of speeding’. This is the reason the rays of the Sun are depicted as horses. Aśnute vyāpnōti sarvatra, means spreading itself, wave, Agni, Sūrya and others. Also, it is typical to the nature of light.
2. Sapta yuṃjaṃti rathamēkacakramēkō aśvō vahati saptanāmā – This is a Ṛk revealed in the Ṛgveda Saṃhita (1-164-2) and also in the Taittirīya Āraṇyaka [3-11(27-28)] that ‘the chariot of the Sun God is with one wheel drawn by a single horse having seven names viz. Ārōga, Bhrāja, Paṭara, Pataṃga, Swarnara, Jyōtiṣmān, and Vibhāsa [Taittirīya Āraṇyaka 1-7(1)] providing illumination to heaven and earth and yielding vigor and power’. Sapta diśō nānāsūryāḥ, Sapta hotāra ṛtvijaḥ [Taittirīya Āraṇyaka 1-7(24)] – This can be opined that the Sapta Sūryas constitute Sapta Ṛtviks or priests to perform yajñas.
3. The movement of the Sun is also related according to astronomy. The chariot of the Sun is drawn by seven horses. This can be symbolized with a rainbow. It is the appearance of chromatic light. The saptavarṇas are the saptaśvas. The twelve leaves on the chariot can be related to the twelve months or twelve constellations in a year.
4. We consider both sunrise and sunset for a day, which are bracketed into weeks, months and years for basic calculations (source: Sūrya Siddhānta). Āditya, the timeless form, is a deity who goes around the universe with emitting light. The body and the mind are energized by assimilating Sun’s rays.
5. According to Purāṇas, the names of the seven horses of the Sun are: Jaya, Vijaya, Ajaya, Jitaprāṇa, Jitaśrama, Manōjava and Jitakrodha (source: Bhaviṣya Purāṇa). These names are different phases of light transmission in a day by the Sun, which are the epitome of power.
6. The Sanātana dharma considers Āditya/Sūrya/Bhānu as a form of the Vedas, the Ṛgyajussāmapāragaḥ (Āditya Hṛudayam, 13th Mantra). The seven horses pulling the chariot of the Sun God are the Vedic meters (chandas) viz., Gāyatrī, Triṣtup, Anuṣtup, Jagatī, Uṣnik, Paṅkti and Bṛhati as revealed in the Veda Saṃhitas and later in Viṣṇu and Sūrya Purāṇas. Hanuman and Yājñavalkya seer became the Vedic students under Guru Sūrya Bhagavān due to their devotion.
7. In the astrology, it is mentioned that different rays of Sun are responsible for empowering the Sūryamanḍalam, viz., the ray ‘Suṣumna’ empowers the planet Moon, the ray ‘Sampadvasu’ (another name udanvasu) for Kuja, the ray ‘Viśvakarma‘ for Mercury, the ray ‘Udāvasu‘ for Jupiter, the ray ‘Viśvavyacassu‘ for Venus, the ray ‘Surāṭ‘ is for Saturn and the ray ‘Harikēśa‘ is for all-pervading stars (source: Sūrya Siddhānta).
8. The essential seven elements that constitute the human body are the skin, blood, flesh, fat, bone, marrow and semen, and this body chariots these elements. Āditya Paramātma is the in the form of consciousness that manages these elements (Garuḍa Purāṇa 15 (27, 62); Śārṅgadhara Saṃhita 1-5-12).
9. The five sense organs (jyānēndriyas) in the human body namely, the skin, the eyes, the ears, the nose and the tongue (Garuḍa Purāṇa 15 (25-26) are driven by the conscious intelligence, the Āditya, is in the form light that resides in the heart in the shape of a paddy grain end part – (source: Taittirīya Āraṇyaka – Mahānarāyanōpaniṣad).
10. The Sun God is in the form of Arka in kunḍalinī (snake shape) that stretches from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra and the seven horses form the seven chakrasthanas in the path (source: Devī Bhāgavata Purāṇa).
The magnificence of pratyakṣa Bhaskara is neither escapable nor ignorable at any time or Season; yet, like the ‘kāla māna’ or the time cycle, one’s age might wither and memory might dry up in the struggle for existence! But He is There Ever and Ever!
The Vedic scriptures state that the movement of the seven horses is the Sun rays dispensing light waves. The solar energy that emanates from the Sunrays takes the shape of hiraṇmaya pure appearance.

In the Age of Kali, Saṅkīrtana-Yajña and Kṛṣṇa Consciousness
Śrīla Prabhupāda: – In the Age of Kali, the saṅkīrtana-yajña (the chanting of the names of God) is recommended by the Vedic scriptures, and this transcendental system was introduced by Lord Caitanya for the deliverance of all men in this age. Saṅkīrtana-yajña and Kṛṣṇa consciousness go well together. Lord Kṛṣṇa in His devotional form (as Lord Caitanya) is mentioned in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam…

Thus he is the actual seer who worships, in the form of transcendental sound representation, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, who has no material form.

Protection From Snakes - The Sanatana Dharma Way
We as Hindus do not believe in unnecessary violence, we are allowed to fight to defend ourselves but we do not invite battles, this is true even with venomous creatures. You may probably already know that there is a tale about the sarpa yaaga - a sacred sacrifice for killing all kinds of serpents, demonic, mortal and divine, hosted by the great king Janamejaya the son of Pareekshit.
His intention was to avenge his father’s killer - takshaka the serpent king. in this post I wont be narrating the whole story in detail. May be that's for another day. Today I received a question regarding protection from serpents and i Remembered this chapter of Mahabharata. ‘
With the help of powerful sages like utthanga and others, King Janamejaya conduction this sacrificial fire ritual for days and months, yet his anger did not come down as he still couldn't attract Takshaka and push him into the holy fire and finish him off . Meanwhile, The divine serpent kings requested Astika a sage who was born to Jaratkaaru rishi (male) and Jaratkaaru devi (female) . Jaratkaaru devi is one of the great serpent mothers (naaga maatas)
Astika went to janameyajas yagya and praised him with poetry. pleased by the praises janameya offered to grant anything he wanted. Astika wished that this sarpa yaaga should stop. bound by the vow, the honest and noble king janamejaya stopped the sacrifice ritual. There sage astika also made a promise that if he astika and this incident is remembered by humans and they request serpents not to hurt them, they will have to leave silently without causing any harm and the humans shouldnt kill the snakes unnecessarily.
Whenever a human encounters a snake this pact is reminded to the snake in the form of 2 shlokas. this shloka is a part of sandhyawandanam (daily morning and evening prayer rites to the sun) of some sects the verses are : सर्पापसर्प भद्रं ते दूरं गच्छ महायशाः |
जनमेजयस्य यज्ञान्ते आस्तीक वचनं स्मरन् ||
sarpāpasarpa bhadraṃ te dūraṃ gaccha mahāyaśāḥ |
janamejayasya yajñānte āstīka vacanaṃ smaran ||
O snake, please move away quickly, me there be good fortune to you , blessings to you. O glorious one please go far away , remembering the promise given by sage āstīka during the end of janamejaya’s yajña.
जरत्कारोर्जरत्कार्वां समुत्पन्नो महायशाः | आस्तीकः सत्यसन्धो मां पन्नगेभ्योऽभिरक्षतु ||
jaratkārorjaratkārvāṃ samutpanno mahāyaśāḥ | āstīkaḥ satyasandho māṃ pannagebhyo'bhirakṣatu ||
May the truthful and greatly glorious āstīkaḥ who was born to jaratkāru through jaratkāru protect me from snakes.
This shloka is the shloka 22 from chapter 53 of adi parva (the first canto) of Maharbharata.
These two shlokas are prayer verses to protect ourselves from snakes. if you notice the nature of the verses they show no hate for snakes , they respectfully request the snakes to move away to avoid mutual harm.
Its said that when anyone sees a snake in reality or in dream , chanting these shlokas and requesting the snake not to cause any harm and to go away. is followed since the time of janamejaya

SAHASRANAMA OF VISHNU: 508 of 1,000
VINAYAḤ {विनय:} Bhīṣma had closed his eyes for a moment… Just then, a fly buzzed by passing close to his ear causing him to open his eyes. The buzzing sound also jolted a long suppressed memory from the archives of his mind – an incident that showed to him the nature of this Nārāyaṇasvarūpa. Yudhiṣṭhira was conducting the Rājasūya yajña at Indraprastha. Kings, Princes, and Ṛ���is had assembled…

The anta or conclusion of a Yajña leads to fruition in the form of its result. Thus Yajña anta means the final step of realizing fruits at the end of a Yajña; this elucidation is provided by Śrī Bhāṣyakāras. Since Lord Viṣṇu gives the fruit of vedic sacrifices at the end of their complete performance, He is called Yajñāntakrt.
Or by uttering the vaiṣṇava Rk sound in the final oblation, the yajamāna i.e., performer of the vedic sacrifice, concludes the Yajña. The yajamāna, thus, is non different from paramātma Himself.

"Os dois ombros (do altar) ele carrega ao longo de ambos os lados do fogo. Pois o altar é feminino e o fogo é masculino; e a mulher deita abraçando o homem: assim, uma cópula produtiva é obtida. Por esta razão, ele carrega os dois ombros ao longo de ambos os lados."
abhito'gnimaṃsā unnayati | yoṣā vai vedirvṛṣāgniḥ parigṛhya vai yoṣā vṛṣāṇaṃ śete mithunamevaitatprajananaṃ kriyate tasmādabhito'gnimaṃsā unnayati
- Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, 1.2.5.15.
No paradigma Śaiva-Śākta, Śiva simboliza Agni (Fogo) como o Yajña (Sacrifício que é realizado com fogo), Śakti simboliza Vedi, o Altar:
रुद्रो यज्ञ उमा वेदिस्तस्मै तस्यै नमो नमः
"Rudra é Yajña, Umā é Vedi. Saudações a Eles!" (Rudrahr̥dayopaniṣad, XX).
O simbolismo sexual tântrico é encontrado mesmo no paradigma védico no ritual mais importante para os brahmaṇa-s, o Yajña. A cópula (mithunam) de Agni (Śiva) e Vedi (Śakti) gera o fruto do ritual.
Um paralelo interessante que alguns sādhakā-s já devem ter percebido é no nível macrocósmico. É pela união (yamala) de Śiva e Śakti nos Bhairavāgama-s que todos os mundos são emanados. Assim como os brahmaṇa-s emanam os bons frutos pela ação ritual do yajña.

"The Destroyer." From the Bhasma Jabala Upanishad, "The Exploration of the Mysteries of the Son of the Ash Heap."
We continue to discuss vidya, “to bring knowledge into oneself.” The Upanishads and their founders, the Vedantins, reject all manner of rituals and superstitions for the purposes of the divine understanding. We do not like gods or strange stories, fantasy figments and bizarre things. We prefer what is readily apparent, which according to the scriptures was all made by God for the purposes of holiness. Understanding of this simple cause and effect is the key to self-determination in this lifetime.
To bind the mind to itself is the key. Within the mind one is the master, one can select the right habits, decisions, the right way to convey oneself through all difficulties and enjoyments alike. We do not pray about these things or resort to magic spells like baptism, or odd concoctions like perfection in the afterlife. What can be done correctly in the here and now for the sake of righteousness is always done for its own sake.
This is what is meant by “unity” or Sandhya. There is “nothing out there”, look for it and you shall not find it, all one has is the mind, a gift God gave man and not the animals. Kusa grass is used to stuff meditation cushions. The verses mentions with unity in mind and the stuff needed for the seat, one should sit and contemplate this highest instruction:
Then the devotee should observe Sandhya with the Kusa grass in his hand. He should do Japa of either Siva-Shadakshara or Siva[1]Ashtakshara. ‘Om Namah Sivaya’ and ‘Om Namo Mahadevaya’ are the two Mantras. This is the highest truth and the greatest instruction.
I myself am that Great Lord Siva, God of all gods, the Supreme Controller of all the universes. I am that Impersonal Brahman, I am Omkara, I am the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer of all.
Through My terror only, all are working properly. I am this world and the five elements. I am the Highest Truth that exists, the Brahman of the Upanishads. This is the greatest Vidya.
So now you know why we call Shiva the Destroyer. Contemplation upon reality destroys all nonsense. What is real destroys what is not real. What is legal destroys what is not legal, what is ethical and proper destroys all corruption. This is how one performs life in search of the Vidya.
The terror mentioned above is fear that all the stuff one has been told or has been doing in search of the Holy Spirit has been in vain. So long as truth exists it must be found else vanity will be the result and of this we should all experience fear.
As for the role of rituals such as Holy Communion and Holy Baptism, the Agni Hotra and so forth, Krishna says it is the motive of any religious practice that determines if it will lead the soul to greater levels of observation of the Spirit or lead it away into more opaque levels of vanity:
Those who are inclined to the fruitive activity described in the Vedas worship Me through ritualistic sacrifices. Being purified from sin by drinking the Soma juice, which is the remnant of the yajñas, they seek to go to heaven. By virtue of their pious deeds, they go to the abode of Indra, the king of heaven, and enjoy the pleasures of the celestial gods.- BG 9:20.
Ritualistic ceremonies are considered good deeds, but they are not counted as devotion. The performers of ritualistic ceremonies do not get released from the cycle of life and death. Only unity between the Spirit and the Self can accomplish this.

Bharani Nakshatra e a Fertilidade: O Ciclo da Vida sob a regência de Vênus.
eng version
Ao assistir filmes ou peças que se passam na Idade Média, percebe-se que alguns deles possui a figura do "arauto", aqueles mensageiros que chegam ao local e abrem a carta (que parece um pergaminho) e lê em voz alta a mensagem. Os Arautos levavam anúncios e mensagens do reino para a população, faziam proclamações solenes verificavam títulos de nobreza, anuanciavam a guerra e proclamavam a paz. Eles eram uma pré-forma da diplomacia. Quando iam anunciar algo ao povo, subiam em plataforma em meio a praça pública e aos gritos anunciava a notícia real, geralmente com roupas que os diferenciavam para chamar mais atenção.
Bharani Nakshatra (áries 13º20' - 26º40') são os arautos da energia de Vênus, pois agem como mensageiros ou representantes da essência de Vênus no mundo, carregando as qualidades venusianas, manifestando-as em suas vidas e comportamento. Vênus é advocacia, busca equidade e é pacificadora, desprovidada de agressividade, mas quando se une a Marte, a agressão e a raiva podem ser usadas como ferramenta de diplomacia (descrição de mike sleeping dog). Aos olhares dos anciões védicos, a estrela deste nakshatra forma o órgão sexual feminino e assim ficou sendo o seu símbolo. Este órgão simboliza o aspecto da fertilidade da vida e um portal entre dois mundos diferentes. No ponto de vista védico, é descrito como morte e nascimento, transformação e regeneração. Também representa a restrição, cuidado, ciúme, sacrifício, sexualidade, nutrição e amor maternal. Bharani carrega todos estes atributos. É a estrela da restrição que tem o poder para limpar e remover impuresas.
A principal divindade de Bharani é Yama, o deus da morte. Yama tinha uma irmã gêmea chamada Yami, que é considerada a senhora da vida. Yama e Yami são par divino de divindades criadoras. Yama é o que conecta a mortalidade e a imortalidade que esculpe os caminhos mortais através da morte. Nele está o tempo e através do tempo descreve um curso para a vida, após o curso a vida é absorvida no tempo. Yami é movida pelas emoções e pelo amor de Maya. Yama é mortal, mas Yami não. A procriação de mortais foi concedida graças ao sacrifício que Yama teve em aniquilar-se criando assim uma dívida (yajña cíclico). Através de uma dívida, a troca é criada, e é através da troca que o mundo segue em frente.
Há história que Yami ficou apaixonada pelo seu irmão Yama e desejava fazer sexo com ele, argumentando que isso não iria quebrar o dharma. Ela desejava que Yama induzisse o embrião em seu útero. Era um instinto natural que despertou em sua mente e corpo depois que ela atingiu a puberdade.
"Ela ofereceu muitos argumentos sobre por que isso não seria quebrar o dharma, mas ele sabia que a relação sexual com sua própria irmã iria contra o dharma no mundo mortal, onde cada ação provoca uma reação vista ou invisível. Sua recompensa por tal autocontrole foi se tornar o chefe de justiça do universo." - Mike Sleeping Dog.
Bharani é uma menina de 16 anos prestes a deflorar, um bebê no útero ou uma pessoa que enfrenta os Yamadutas (anjos celestiais cuja tarefa é guiar as almas no processo de vida após a morte) após a morte. Por causa de sua qualidade infantil, Bharani é um dos mais ansiosos nakshatras. Assim como uma criança deseja vivenciar todo o ambiente, os nativos de Bharani desejam vivenciar o ambiente ao máximo. Há uma inocência primitiva na maneira como eles vivenciam as coisas, as pessoas e os lugares. Eles podem passar por instinto em vez da razão. A maioria dos seus sentimentos e desejos são tão avassaladores que muito pouco pode ser feito para contê-los ou acalmá-los. Mais uma vez, o status evolutivo da alma em questão entra em cena. Todos os nativos Bharani têm um impulso criativo dentro deles. O sexo feminino geralmente expressa essa criatividade através da geração de filhos, enquanto o sexo masculino tenta ser criativo em níveis mais estranhos. Bharani é um nakshatra onde ocorre a interação entre o homem e a mulher. Isso o torna um dos nakshatras mais sexuais do zod��aco. Bharani é representativo da força da natureza que cria atração entre os opostos. Os nativos Bharani experimentam, entregam-se, são vítimas e tentam compreender esta força.
Bharani é o nakshatra que pertence ao primeiro signo do zodiaco e é o primeiro nakshatra regido por Vênus, isso simboloza a entrada da energia inicial da energia feminina criativa no zodíaco. Por isso, é um nakshatra feminino. Isso não já não é nenhuma surpresa, já que Bharani representa tudo o que é feminino. É o segundo nakshatra e o primeiro nakshatra feminino. Assim como o número “2” na numerologia, é o iniciador do princípio feminino em todos os níveis da existência. É o início da dualidade e de maya, e nele reside a essência do funcionamento complexo do princípio feminino. Bharani é considerado um nakshatra equilibrado. Bharani é na verdade um nakshatra extremo, mas é classificado como 'Equilibrado' devido à sua tendência de equilibrar extremos opostos como o nascimento e a morte. Os nativos Bharani muitas vezes levam vidas duplas, chegando a dois extremos diferentes. Assim, no geral, suas vidas podem ser vistas como equilíbrio. Ele faz parte do Rajas Nakshatras (rajas é ação para obter os desejos realizados. É a paixão que leva alguém à ação, muitas vezes não obtendo os resultados esperados, o que leva a mais ações), isso pode ser facilmente acessado a partir do governo de Bharani por Vênus. Vênus é visto como o mais rajásico entre os planetas. A sua relação com os processos de vida terrestre é muito forte. De certa forma, pode-se dizer que é apenas Vênus que faz a vida valer a pena. Como Bharani anuncia a energia venusiana, sua expressão aqui é primordial, altamente concentrada e explosiva (todas expressões rajásicas). Vênus é o planeta da fertilidade, criatividade e prazer. Em Bharani, essas qualidades se manifestam na ideia de dar à luz, tanto literal quanto simbolicamente. A fertilidade aqui não está restrita à procriação, mas também a capacidade de criar e nutrir ideias, projetos e novas fases da vida. Bharani, regido po Yama, também lembra que todo o começo vem acompanhado de um fim, um cíclo contínuo de renovação. Bharani representa a fase em que a semente é plantada (o ato criativo que precede o crescimento. Sendo o primeiro nakshatra de Vênus, Bharani simboliza a fertilidade em seu estado primordial, o impulso de gerar vida. A fertlidade esta ligada à natureza receptiva feminina, à capacidade de sustentar a vida, algo que Vênus domina. Bharani, com a sua associação ao útero, também fala da importância da gestação do cuidade, elementos essenciais da fertilidade.Todas as deusas, especialmente as deusas da fertilidade, estão ligadas a Vênus.
Bharani é o nakshatra do carma e da reencarnação, um dos conceitos menos compreendidos nos tempos modernos, especialmente no mundo ocidental. Bharani é o nome do estágio onde o masculino e o feminino, que surgiram de uma única fonte sem gênero, copulam e, ao fazê-lo, levam adiante o processo de criação.

108 Postural Practice Pointers – 61 – Vīrabhadrāsana represents the fighting stance of the warrior...
Vīrabhadrāsana represents the fighting stance of the warrior Vīrabhadra, who is said to represent the fierce form of Maṅgala. He was created by Śiva from a matted lock of his own hair, in a vengeful response to the death of his wife Satī after her self-immolation in the sacrificial fire at her father’s Yajña. It’s a demanding standing position coupled with a backbend in the spine to give the…

తాత్పర్యము : ఈ దేహము, ఆధివ్యాధులు మొదలగు వివిధ క్లేశములను తెచ్చిపెట్టును. అజ్ఞాన కారణముగా ఈ దేహము కొరకై అనేక దుష్కర్మలను ఆచరించుచు అతడు ఆ కర్మబంధములలో తగుల్కొనును. ఫలితముగా, మరల మరలా జనన మరణ చక్రములో పరిభ్రమించు చుండును.
వ్యాఖ్య : భగవద్గీతలో యజ్ఞం లేదా విష్ణువును సంతృప్తి పరచడానికి కృషి చేయాలని చెప్పబడింది, పరమాత్మను సంతృప్తి పరచాలనే ఉద్దేశ్యం లేకుండా చేసే ఏ పని అయినా బంధానికి కారణం. షరతులతో కూడిన స్థితిలో ఒక జీవి, తన శరీరాన్ని తనలాగా స్వీకరించి, పరమాత్మతో తనకున్న శాశ్వతమైన సంబంధాన్ని మరచిపోయి తన శరీర ప్రయోజనాలను దృష్టిలో ఉంచుకుని పనిచేస్తాడు. అతను శరీరాన్ని తనలాగా, తన శరీర విస్తరణలను తన బంధువులుగా మరియు తన శరీరం నుండి పుట్టిన భూమిని పూజనీయంగా తీసుకుంటాడు. ఈ విధంగా అతను అన్ని రకాల తప్పుగా భావించే కార్యకలాపాలను నిర్వహిస్తాడు, ఇది వివిధ జాతులలో జనన మరణాల పునరావృతంలో అతని శాశ్వత బంధానికి దారి తీస్తుంది.
ఆధునిక నాగరికతలో, సామాజిక, జాతీయ మరియు ప్రభుత్వ నాయకులు అని పిలవబడే వ్యక్తులు శారీరక జీవన భావనలో ప్రజలను మరింత ఎక్కువగా తప్పుదారి పట్టిస్తున్నారు, ఫలితంగా నాయకులందరూ, వారి అనుచరులతో, పుట్టిన తరువాత జన్మ నరక పరిస్థితులకు దిగుతున్నారు. శ్రీమద్-భాగవతంలో ఒక ఉదాహరణ ఇవ్వబడింది. అంధ యాతాన్ధైర ఉపానియామనహః (SB 7.5.31) ఒక అంధుడు అనేక ఇతర అంధులను నడిపించినప్పుడు, ఫలితంగా వారందరూ ఒక గుంటలో పడిపోతారు. ఇది వాస్తవంగా జరుగుతోంది. దేహ సంబంధమైన భావనలో స్థిరపడినందు వల్ల అతడు జనన మరణాలను అనుభవించవలసి వస్తుంది.

🌹 Kapila Gita - 300 🌹 🍀 Conversation of Kapila and Devahuti 🍀 📚 Prasad Bharadwaj 🌴 7. Lord Kapila's Instructions on the Movements of the Living Entities - 31 🌴 31. tad-arthaṁ kurute karma yad-baddho yāti saṁsṛtim yo 'nuyāti dadat kleśam avidyā-karma-bandhanaḥ
MEANING : For the sake of the body, which is a source of constant trouble to him and which follows him because he is bound by ties of ignorance and fruitive activities, he performs various actions which cause him to be subjected to repeated birth and death.
PURPORT : In Bhagavad-gītā it is said that one has to work to satisfy Yajña, or Viṣṇu, for any work done without the purpose of satisfying the Supreme Personality of Godhead is a cause of bondage. In the conditioned state a living entity, accepting his body as himself, forgets his eternal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead and acts on the interest of his body. He takes the body as himself, his bodily expansions as his kinsmen, and the land from which his body is born as worshipable. In this way he performs all sorts of misconceived activities, which lead to his perpetual bondage in repetition of birth and death in various species.
In modern civilization, the so-called social, national and government leaders mislead people more and more, under the bodily conception of life, with the result that all the leaders, with their followers, are gliding down to hellish conditions birth after birth. The conclusion is that as long as one is fixed in the bodily conception, he has to suffer birth and death.

यान्ति देवव्रता देवान्पितृन्यान्ति पितृव्रताः | भूतानि यान्ति भूतेज्या यान्ति मद्याजिनोSपि माम् || २५ || yānti deva-vratā devān pitṝn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors; and those who worship Me will live with Me. If anyone has any desire to go to the moon, the sun, or any other planet, one can attain the desired destination by following specific Vedic principles recommended for that purpose. These are vividly described in the fruitive activities portion of the Vedas, technically known as darśa-paurṇamāsī, which recommends a specific worship of demigods situated on different heavenly planets. Similarly, one can attain the pitā planets by performing a specific yajña. Similarly, one can go to many ghostly planets and become a yakṣa, rakṣa or piśāca. Piśāca worship is called "black arts" or "black magic." There are many men who practice this black art, and they think that it is spiritualism, but such activities are completely materialistic. Similarly, a pure devotee, who worships the Supreme Personality of Godhead only, achieves the planets of Vaikuṇṭha and Kṛṣṇaloka without a doubt. It is very easy to understand through this important verse that if by simply worshiping the demigods one can achieve the heavenly planets, or by worshiping the pitā achieve the pitā planets, or by practicing the black arts achieve the ghostly planets, why can the pure devotee not achieve the planet of Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu? Unfortunately many people have no information of these sublime planets where Kṛṣṇa and Viṣṇu live, and because they do not know of them they fall down. Even the impersonalists fall down from the brahmajyoti. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is therefore distributing sublime information to the entire human society to the effect that by simply chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra one can become perfect in this life and go back home, back to Godhead. https://gloriousgita.com/verse/en/9/25 https://bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-09-25.html https://www.instagram.com/p/CoJiNtxoyOM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
