SrI:

Respected all,

I thought I can share yet another significance of the stars involved
in agni nakshatra period. Hence this mail.

Bahrani (with the last 2 paadas) and Krittikai are the 2 main stars
that constitute the agni nakshatram period.

These 2 stars are considered as the most dreaded stars,
as we can hear the elders in our house caution us not to do anything
if the day happens have any of these two stars.
This mail is to clarify what is to be dreaded about these stars.

Bharani and krittika are not alone, but they are part of 12 stars
(others being Thiruvadhirai, aayilyam, pooram, pooradam, poorattadhi,
kettai, vishakam, swathi, magam and Chithrai) that are considered as
'unfortunate' (aahaadhu) stars.

Whatever goes on the day these stars reign, will not come back - is
the reason for these nakshathras being 'aahaadha nakshathras'.

Particularly, if one lends money to someone on this day, he / she wont
get it back.
If one goes on a journey on these days, it is unlikely that he/she
will come back without problems - means he/she may get into accidenst
etc.
If one falls sick on the day of these stars, it is unlikely he/ she
bounces back to previous condition of health.

There exists a saying about this in Tamil,

"maa-dhanam kondaar, thaaraar,
vazhi- nadai-p-pattaar, meeLaar.
paayinil padutthaar, thEraar".

This also means, one can take money or borrow money from others.
The conditions will arise such that they need not have to return the money:-)

It also means that if one loses money in pickpocketing or burglery,
there are no chances of getting back the lost things.

But of all the 12 stars mentioned above, bharani and krittikai are
strictly meant for losing whatever is given, while the other stars are
suitable for other specific occasions also.

Bahrani and krittikai are specifically followed when one has to give
away something once for ever, say, in harvesting, where the plant cut
is not going to be rejuvinated.
These stars  are good for shedding illness, like taking the first bath
after an illness.

Other than losing what one gives, there need not be any dread about
bahrani and krittika.

Perhaps this is also the reason (pOnaal varaadhu) why auspicious
events are not done when sun pases through these stars.
We undertake  auspicious actions, expecting some goodness in return.
Such actions dont get fructify during this agni nakshathram period.

regards,
jayasree saranathan
