Uttarabhadrapada Nakshatra

 Full Moon in Uttarabhadrada Nakshatra and Revati 





Today on the 6th October 2025 is the Sharad Purnima. The day is celebrated as Kojagiri Purnima and the Ras Leela is said to have taken place on this day. 


As I was pondering on the shakti of the Uttarabhadrapada nakshatra - Varshaayita Shakti — The Power to Bring Rain / Nourishment. 

I am reminded of the Chakora birds ЁЯРж which await the, moonlight ЁЯМЩ light as the source of nectar. I'm reminded of the lines from Priyae Charusheelae - "
sphurad adhara-s─лdhave tava vadana-candram─Б
rocayatu locana-cakoraс╣Г ||1||"

Where Krishna pleads with Radha, to see Radha's moon like face, as delightful like moonlight for the Chakora bird that waits patiently.... 

Interestingly, on this day the skies were absolutely so clear radiating the warm lights of the moon. 

Yet on the previous day on satabishek nakshatra is rained ЁЯМз  so heavily... I had interestingly gone outside and by the time I had come home, I was all drenched. 


Coming to Uttarabhadrada Nakshatra, I'm reminded of the formation of pearls. 


Formation of a pearl inside an oyster is thought to occur because of foreign material inside the body of the oyster. To save itself from the undesired material the mollusk coats the object with layers of nacre. It takes many years for a mollusk to produce a pearl of substantial size. The process through which the pearls are formed inside the body of the mollusk is very delicate, and a little disturbance at any stage of development of a pearl can influence its shape and luster. The finest pearl is that which has no foreign matter in its core. There is a common belief that when Swati Nakshatra rain comes to earth it produces pearl in pearl oysters. The mollusk is then said to open its mouth to receive the first raindrops. The pearls thus produced by the raindrops of Swati Nakshatra are the finest and have no foreign matter in them.
(Source - https://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/pearl-gemstone.html)

Though the formation of pearls as per the above source is linked mainly to Swati Nakshatra, Shravan and Pushya. I was pondering on the sign of Uttarabhadrapada. 






ЁЯМХ 1. Sharad Purnima – The Night of Divine Nectar 

According to the Bh─Бgavata Pur─Бс╣Зa (10th Skandha, chapters 29–33),
on this bright full moon night of the month of Ashwin,
Lord Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa played His flute (Venu-n─Бda), calling the Gop─лs to the Yamun─Б’s sandy banks under the shining silver moonlight.

That was ┼Ъarad P┼лrс╣Зim─Б — the night when:

The Moon is full, the air is cool and pure, and the rasa (divine essence) pervades all creation.

It is said that on this night:

The Moon showers Amс╣Ыta — celestial nectar — symbolizing divine bliss (rasa).

Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa, the embodiment of that bliss, manifests His infinite forms to dance with each Gop─л — one with every heart.

Thus, the R─Бsa Kr─лс╕Н─Б is not a physical dance, but a cosmic revelation of unity between the individual soul (Gop─л) and the Supreme Soul (Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa).

ЁЯМ╕ 2. The Word “Rasa” – Its Double Meaning 

In Sanskrit, Rasa means:

Essence, nectar, flavor, emotion, or divine joy.

In Vedanta and Bhakti, it is the spiritual taste of love between God and devotee.

On Sharad Purnima:

The Moonlight (Chandrarasa) is the outer nectar — Amс╣Ыta raining from the heavens.

The R─Бsa dance is the inner nectar — Premarasa, the taste of divine love.

So, R─Бsa Kr─лс╕Н─Б = The Dance of Divine Rasa, when outer and inner nectar become one.
This is why the night is called “Amrita Varshini” — the night when nectar rains.




ЁЯРН 3. Link to Uttarabhadrapada Shakti 

Now, let’s connect this with Uttarabhadrapada Nakshatra’s Shakti:

Varshaayita Shakti — The Power to Bring Rain / Nourishment

During Sharad Purnima, the Moon literally “rains nectar” — Varsha of Amrita.
In a subtle sense, Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the deep waters, represents the Kundalini energy rising — the union of ┼Ъakti and ┼Ъiva — just like Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa and the Gop─лs uniting in bliss.

So the inner R─Бsa Kr─лс╕Н─Б happens in the deep heart (Hridaya Guha) — the inner ocean of Uttarabhadrapada.
It’s the yogic rasa, where the soul merges in the still joy of the Self.

Uttarabhadrapada Rasa Kr─лс╕Н─Б = Mystical Union
The “dance” happens inside, in meditation and devotion — the soul dances with the Divine.


In Tantra and Yoga, R─Бsa Kr─лс╕Н─Б is also symbolic of:





The union of ┼Ъiva (pure consciousness) and ┼Ъakti (creative energy) within the body.

The awakening of the Kundalini serpent (Ahirbudhnya) through love and surrender.

During Sharad Purnima, when the Moon is brightest:

The Ida and Pingala nadis (lunar and solar channels) balance.

The nectar of Soma descends from the Sahasr─Бra (crown chakra).

The inner consciousness experiences Rasa, the sweetness of union.

That is the inner R─Бsa L─лl─Б — the dance of energy and consciousness in perfect harmony.

ЁЯкФ 6. Essence of the Mystery 

ЁЯМХ Sharad Purnima = Rasa descending from the heavens
ЁЯТз Uttarabhadrapada = Rain from the ocean of consciousness
ЁЯТГ Ashwini = The dance of divine vitality in the heart

So:

When Sharad Purnima falls in Uttarabhadrapada, it represents inner union, the silent bliss of realization.

When it falls in Ashwini, it represents outer union, the playful dance of life and love.

Both express the same eternal truth:

“The soul and the Divine are never separate — they dance as one, within and without.”

Vulnerabilty in his arms




Green and red saree

In the auto, 

I was in my own world, many thoughts 

Many insecurities

He held me so close... 

My heart never felt safer....

All my thoughts into oblivion. 


What does the Soul Long For?

 


How he loved me? 

Before I lose my memories to time
The safety in his arms
The warmth in his voice
His reassuring eyes... 
His embraces.. 
It healed all the sorrows of lifetimes  
But I had to let go... 
Happily for ever after.... 


In his Eyes


Tender endless ЁЯМЩ nights  ....

In his arms... 

Searching for myself 

In the recesses of his soul.. 

I found the beauty within, in his eyes...

In his heart..
