Nakshatra is a Sanskrit word that means “which does not decay”. Naksh means, approaching, to worship, to guard or protect. Tra means a tool or an instrument. Nakshatras are heavenly bodies that need reverence and worship. These nakshatras are stellar constellations and the earliest references of them are made in the yajur Veda. Moon transits all 27 nakshatras in a month, completing the zodiac orbit. On an average, it travels one nakshatra everyday. 27 nakshatras are 300-400 light years away from the earth.

In Vedic Astrology, the study of nakshatras is done for accurate predictions and astrological analysis. Nakshatra or birthstar is an important element in this astrology, as it gives insight into one`s thinking patterns, characteristics of the person and also calculating the dasha period. Nakshatras with their cosmic powers help to bring about changes in human psyche, as they rule and direct each soul`s journey according to karmic destiny.

Each nakshatra radiates its own quality and has a symbol with meaning. It is presided over by the ruling deity. For example, for star punarvasu, it is Goddess Aditi, for star Rohini, it is Brahma and for Ashwini, it is Ashwin twins. According to Taittiriya Brahmana, “One who offers worship here reaches the world of heaven beyond. That is the nakshatrahood of Nakshatras.” They act as a link between the human mind and the cosmic mind. Worship to them gives one great benefits unparallel in nature. They are spiritual forces in the sky that shower divine blessings when invoked through prayer and offerings.
