NAKSHATRA VAN = VEDIC SACRED GROVE
NAKSHATRA = BIRTH STAR = A Lunar Mansion, where the Moon appears each night in the sky as it waxes and wanes to complete one round from Full moon to Amavasya.
A Star rising in EAST at time of Birth has vibrations and aura and memory beneficial in cleansing one's emotions. It can thus help us in radiating success when we match with a tree of similar mind.
We made our Nakshatra Van on 2 acres of land. We began plantation on the auspicious day of Shravan, viz. 25th March 2025, and ended after 27 days of tree planting work on 21st April 2025 with Uttara Ashadha. We planted 4 trees for each Birth Star, i.e. a total of 108 trees for the 27 lunar mansions.
After completion of plantation during the drive home, at 9:15am saw a happy Peacock on fence, busy pecking grains. Soon after saw a Mongoose scurrying across in Mahavir Enclave. Upon reaching home, at 9:30am, we celebrated in lobby with bhajan “Hari Sundar Nand Mukunda”.
18th April 1:08pm Saw bull and cow adjacent to Patiala home.
22nd April brought bull and cow in Nakshatra Van for 15 days grazing.
