Rohini nakshatra
Rohini nakshatra (Aldebaran) 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 ruling planet is Moon,
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.
