As we have established already, the key to understanding how Nakshatras manifest in reality, is to become familiar with the myths associated with them. The myth associated with Mirgashira involves Daksha, the son of Brahma.

The myth associated with Rohini tells the story of the creation of the 27 nakshatras and their shadow side. The story goes like this….

There are multiple myths associated with Krittika. One of the primary ones is connected to the demon Taraka, and Kartikeya, the warrior god.

We already established in a previous post the importance of understanding the myth associated with each Nakshatra. The Myth associated with Bharani is somewhat a continuation of the myth of Ashwini. Remember the story of Surya’s (Sun) wife Santana, and the shadow wife (Chaya)?

we cannot fully grasp what each Nakshatra represents without knowing the myth they are associated with. The Myth of Ashwini is quite interesting!

In today’s world the word ‘myth’ is almost equated to fiction or fables. But that’s not the understanding the ancients had.
