BIRDS ASTROLOGY : NAKSHATRA BIRDS .

For each and every Nakshatra a Bird is given , This attribute is least touched one by many
astrologers and I felt this will open many secrets in the Astrology. Without any reason our
ancients would have not given or mentioned Birds for each nakshatra. So I started to work on
this subject with the help of internet even thought I don’t know anything about birds.

This work is not about Pancha Pakshi Sastra.

1. I have utilized Ancient Hindu Mythologies connected with birds like Puranas , Idhihasas
and other Mythologies .
2. I have used some properties of the birds example like Butcher Bird for Ashlesha
Nakshatra.
3. For some Birds I have used Pancha bootha Stalam for Lord Shiva according to the terrain
the birds live .
4. I have utilized Ancient Tamil Illakanam THOLKAPPIYUM for finding the attributes .

PAKSHI DOSHAM : I have heard about Pakshi ( Curse of a Bird ) but recently only I
came to know about the combination through Shri.WINNOW VENKAT .
Jupiter in any one of the 1stor 6thor 8th and being aspected by the lord of the sign where
Jupiter is placed.

Prayer to Lord MAHA VISHNU in Badrinath or Puri will ward of the evil effects.
My Opinion :
I feel Jupiter should also be Airy sign particularly in Capricorn will intensify the dosha.
Prayer to Lord GARUDA ALWAR.

Reference : 1. Birds list as per Nakshatra is as per Ancient Tamil Classic --- PERIYA

THOLKAPPIYAM – Ancient Tamil Classic .

Tholkappiyum is ancient Tamil illakanam ( Grammar ) Work written by Sage Tholkappiyar

disciple of Great Siddhar Agastiyar which predates most of the Astrological works both in
Sanskrit and in Tamil . Hence it is the authoritative book , I wish to use this work for subdividing
Birds into 5 Groups as per the land scape they live which will be also useful to find the Gods &
Goddess for the Birds.
KURUNGI ---- Mountain & allied areas ----- Lord MURUGAN

MULLAI ------- Forest & allied Areas -------- Lord VISHNU

MARUTHAM--- Agricultural Field & allied areas ---- Lord INDRA

NEITHAL------- Sea , Sea Shore & allied areas --------------- Lord VARUNA

PALLAI------------ Desert & allied areas ------- Goddess KOTTRAVAI

VISHNU PURANA :

Daughters of Sage KASHYAPPA gave birth to birds.

This small work

Śukī gave birth to parrots, owls, and crows; --- Agricultural fields and allied areas -----
Marutham
Śyenī to hawks;----- Desert regions --- Pallai
Other common hawks in the desert include the red-tailed and Cooper's hawks. Eagles are less
common, but both bald and golden eagles live in this region. The golden eagle hunts larger prey,
including jackrabbits.
Bhāsī to kites;
Kites occur worldwide in warm regions. Some kites live on insects; others are primarily
scavengers but also eat rodents and reptiles; and a few are strictly snaileaters
Gridhrikā to vultures;
The larger vulture species require a habitat that allows them to see or smell carrion while they
soar in the sky. This means their habitats usually include plains or savannas, although
some live in open mountain regions. Some smaller vulture species can be found in suburban
areas.
Śuci to water-fowl ---- Sea Shore and allied areas --- Neithal

The above I am unable to complete as per Vishnu Purana .

Scriptures in Hinduism. He is one of the characters of Ramcharitmanas one of the major Hindu

@ CROW

Fact about Crows : Taken from Live Science site :

Habits
Crows are extremely intelligent birds. They are known for their problem-solving skills and
amazing communication skills. For example, when a crow encounters a mean human, it will
teach other crows how to identify the human. In fact, research shows that crows don’t forget a
face.
Many types of crows are solitary, but they will often forage in groups. Others stay in large
groups. A group of crows is called a murder. When one crow dies, the murder will surround the
deceased. This funeral isn’t just to mourn the dead, though. The crows gather together to find out
what killed their member. Then, the murder of crows will band together and chase predators in a
behavior called mobbing. With some crow species, the yearlings and non-mating adults live in a
group called a roosting community.

Some crows migrate while other crows don’t migrate in the common sense. They will travel to
warmer areas of their territory, when needed.

As foragers, they also clean up dead animals and garbage. In fact, crows are often blamed for
overturning garbage cans; however, the real culprits are usually raccoons or dogs, according to
the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The female lays four to five eggs and incubates them for 18 days. At four weeks, the chicks are
able to leave the nest, though their parents still feed them until they are around 60 days old.
Crows can live up to 14 year .

obtained a boon from Indra(a celestial deity) and wished to receive an image of Thyagaraja
Swamy(presiding deity, Shiva in the temple) reposing on the chest of reclining Lord
Vishnu. Indra tried to misguide the king and had six other images made, but the king chose the
right image at Tiruvarur.[9] The other six images were installed in Thirukkuvalai, Nagapattinam,
Tirukarayil, Tirukolili, Thirukkuvalai and Tirumaraikadu.[20][21] All the seven places are villages
situated in the river Cauvery delta. All seven Thyagaraja images are said to dance when taken in

Tirukalukundram is known for the Vedagiriswarar temple complex, popularly known as
Kazhugu koil (Eagle temple). of Shiva, known as Vedagiriswarar. The temple at the foot-hills is
dedicated to his consort Parvati, known here as Thiripurasundari Amman.
The word Thirukazhukundram comes from the Tamil words Thiru (Respectful), Kazhugu
(Vulture/Eagle), Kundram (mount). It was known as "Thirukazhugukundram" in ancient times,
which over time became Thirukazhukundram. The town is also known as Pakshi Theertham
(Bird's Holy Lake) because of a pair of birds -Most likely Egyptian vultures- that are believed to
have visited the site for centuries. These birds are traditionally fed by the temple priests and
arrive before noon to feed on offerings made from rice, wheat, ghee and sugar. Although
punctual, the failure of the birds to turn up was attributed to the presence of "sinners" among the
onlookers.[1][2] Legend has it the vultures (or "eagles") represent eight sages who were
punished by Shiva with two of them leaving in each of a series of epochs.[3][4][5] It has also
been known as Uruthrakodi, Nandipuri, Indrapuri, Narayanapuri, Brahmapuri, Dinakarapuri,
Muniganapuri in the past. There are many inscriptions in the temple. It is also called
Pakshitirtham.

Teal is a blue-green colour. Its name comes from that of a bird—the common teal (Anas crecca)
—which presents a similarly colored stripe on its head. The word is often used colloquially to
refer to shades of cyan in general.

It can be created by mixing blue into a green base, or deepened as needed with black or gray.[3]
The complementary color of teal is maroon.[4] It is also one of the initial group of 16
HTML/CSS web colors formulated in 1987. In the RGB model used to create colors on computer
screens and televisions, teal is created by turning down the brightness of cyan to about one half.

Teal was a fad color during the 1990s, with, among others, many sports teams adopting the color
for their uniforms.

wasps, which cling to her body. She is typically depicted as holding a mace, trident, sword and
shield in her four hands.

Bhagavata Purana describes how she slew the demon Arunasura.
@ In pranayama, the name Bhramari is given to a type of breathing through the nose, making a
smooth humming sound like a bee buzzing.

@ Pray Lord NANDHIEASWARAR – NANDIKEESWARAR Temple , Adambakkam ,

Chennai , Tamil Nadu , It is called Bringi Malai which in due course changed to Parangi Malai .

Lord NANDHI ESWARAR & Goddess AVUDAI NAYAGI .

PRAY BRINGI MUNIVAR ( 3 LEGGED SAINT )

The temple has lot of mythology associated with it and locals often claim the temple to be
constructed by Adhani (hence the name Adambakkam) Cholan yet the temple is only around 150
years old. Also in the form of Nandhi(holy bull), Lord Shiva appeared before Bringi Maharishi.
(So pooja to Nandhi is done after pooja to Lord Shiva, unlike in other temples.) Hence the name
of Lord Shiva is Nandeeswarar. And the mount was called as "Bringi malai", now changed as
'Parangi malai'. This sage kept his kalasam(kindy) on some places & did pooja, so the adjacent
place is called as GUINDY itself
The Below mentioned material is taken from wikipedia:
According to Hindu epics, Bhringi was an ancient sage (rishi), and a great devotee of Shiva,[1]
the Hindu God. According to epics, all the rishis paid homage to both Shiva and Parvati, consort
of Shiva, but Bhringi would not worship Parvati and dedicated himself solely to Shiva .

The story goes that Bhringi one day, came to Mount Kailash, the abode of Shiva, and expressed
his desire to go around Shiva . As he was going around, Shiva 's consort, Shakti, said, “You
cannot just go around him. You have to go around me too. We are two halves of the same truth.”

Bhringi, however, was so focussed on Shiva that he had no desire to go around Shakti. Seeing
this, Shakti sat on Shiva's lap making it difficult for Bhringi to go around Shiva alone. Bhringi,
determined to go around Shiva took the form of a Bhring (Black Bee) and tried to slip in between
the two.

Amused by this, Shiva made Shakti one half of his body – the famous Ardhanarishvara form of
Shiva . This was God whose one half is the Goddess. But Bhringi was adamant. He would go
around Shiva alone. So he took the form of a rat, some say a bee, and tried to gnaw his way
between the two.

This annoyed the Goddess so much that she said, “May Bhringi lose all parts of the body that
come from the mother.” In Tantra, the Indian school of alchemy, it is believed that the tough and
rigid parts of the body such as nerves and bones come from the father while the soft and fluid
parts of the body such as flesh and blood come from the mother. Instantly, Bhringi lost all flesh
and blood and he became a bag of bones. He collapsed on the floor, unable to get up.

Bhringi realized his folly. Shiva and Shakti make up the whole. They are not independent
entities. One cannot exist without the other. Without either there is neither. He apologized.

So the world never forgets this lesson. Bhringi was denied flesh and blood forever. To enable
him to stand upright he was given a third leg, so that his legs served as a tripod.

16 . VISHAKA NAKSHATRA

CHITTU KURUVI ( Tamil ) , SPARROW ( English )

Pray Lord GARUDA.

As per Garuda & Sparrow Story they will get help from Big Brother by gods grace and will full
fill their desires , Determination , God’s Grace , Happiness, Hope , Companion ship ,

@ If a sparrow breeds in the home of a Chinese family, it will never bother the bird because it is

believed that it has brought good luck to the house. In many cultures, It symbolises
companionship, happiness, hope. It also denotes fertility and the rejuvenation of the spirit.

@ Bible & Sparrows :

Sparrows, in biblical times, were held in contempt. They had little worth and were seen to be
annoying. The sparrow, however, what was Jesus referred to when illustrating our worth to God.
If a lowly bird, with little worth receives the care of Our Heavenly Father, the love and attention
He shows us is much greater.

The below mentioned Story is taken from Heart of Hinduism Site , I thank the site operators for
posting such a useful story .

Garuda and the Sparrow (determination; God’s grace)

This story is relevant to the quality of ‘determination’ and also to the “grace or personal
endeavour?” controversy.

As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the
waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried
away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her
eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean.
She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her
impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird
carrier of Lord Vishnu, heard it. He become compassionate towards his small sister bird, and so
he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow,
and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked the ocean to return her eggs lest he himself
take up the work of the sparrow. The ocean was frightened at this, and returned the eggs. Thus
the sparrow became happy by the grace of Garuda … ‘God helps those who help themselves’.

17. ANURADHA NAKSHATRA

VANNAMPAADI ( Tamil ) ; LARK ( English ) ;

SONGS , MUSICIANS .

Symbolism. The lark in mythology and literature stands for daybreak, as in Chaucer's "The
Knight's Tale", "the bisy larke, messager of day", and Shakespeare's Sonnet 29, "the lark at break
of day arising / From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate" (11–12).
The nightingale is the bird of the night; it sings its song while the moon is out. The lark is the
bird that signifies the morning sun. Juliet doesn't want to hear the lark because it means her one
night of wedded happiness is over, and she doesn't know when she will see Romeo again.

Larks are known for their melodious singing. They also sing while they are flying, unlike most
other birds, who only sing when perched. ... Larks are also very good mimics of other birds'
songs.

Pray Lord THIYAGARAJA SWAMY , ThiyarajaSwamy Temple , Thiruvaarur , Tamil Nadu .

Temple for Music and Dance ,

Trinity of Carnatic music, namely Thyagaraja (1767–1847 CE), Muthuswami Dikshitar (1775–

1835 CE) and Shyama Shastri (1762–1827 CE).[26] Muthuswami Dikshitar has sung eulogies of
the temple deities of the Thyagarajaswami Temple .

MUSIC & DANCE : Taken from Wikipedia

Historically, Thiruvarur has been a centre of eminent people in religion, arts and science.
Sundarar, an 8th-century Saivite saint, mentions "I am the slave of all those born in Thiruvarur"
in his works in Tevaram.[25] Two of the 63 nayanmars of Saivite tradition namely, Kalarsinga
Nayanar and Tandiyadigal Nayanar were born in Thiruvarur.[17] The Periyapuranam, a 12th-
century Saiva canonical by Sekkizhar, dedicates a chapter to those born in Thiruvarur, including
these two saints. The town was a traditional centre of music and dance – the inscriptions from
Rajaraja Chola associate a large body of dancers associated with the temple.[25] Thiruvarur is
home to Trinity of Carnatic music, namely Thyagaraja (1767–1847 CE), Muthuswami
Dikshitar (1775–1835 CE) and Shyama Shastri (1762–1827 CE).[26] Muthuswami Dikshitar has
sung eulogies of the temple deities of the Thyagarajaswami temple.[25] Thyagaraja was named
after the deity of this temple. There was large influx of the acumen of South Indian culture to the
town during the 17th century CE due to the political unrest in Thanjavur and increased patronage
of the Maratha kings to Thiruvarur, resulting in developments in music and dance.[27][28] A unique
musical instrument called panchamuga vadyam with each of its five ends ornamented differently
is used in the temple. A type of nadaswaram (pipe instrument) called Barinayanam is also a
unique instrument found only in Thiruvarur.

As Per Shri. DAVE Author of , Sky Lark the song of Sky lark can be heard from October to
April ,at all times particularly well before Dawn .

The Below Mentioned Information is taken from JACOBI JAYNE LIVING WITH BIRDS

Only the nightingale rivals the skylark’s reputation as one of the finest songsters in the bird
world.
1. The skylark’s song is fast, complex and highly variable, but (unlike the nightingale’s)
it is delivered within a narrow frequency range.

2. There can be anything from 160 to over 460 syllables in the song.

3. While the Victorians estimated the height of the male skylark’s songflight at around
600m (2,000ft), most birds sing from around 50m and few ever go beyond 200m.

4. The average length of a songflight is just over two minutes, but 30-minute
performances have been recorded.

5. Skylarks invariable start singing before dawn, so their voice is the first to be heard in
the dawn chorus.

6. Song can be heard throughout the year, though it is least frequent between mid-
November and late-January.

7. It is thought that more poems have been written about the skylark’s song than that of
any other bird.

8. Despite the lark’s popularity as a songbird, it has long been regarded as a delicacy on
the plate, and the price of skylarks has been recorded since the reign of Edward I.

9. In 1695, a dozen skylarks could be bought for the same price as one mallard, or 100
for the same figure as a great bustard or crane.

10. Most larks were captured for the table by dragging nets across fields at night.

11. Lark shooting for sport was popular in Victorian England, the birds being decoyed by
either live birds or by ingenious lark mirrors, the latter drawing migrating larks within
range of the guns.

12. The record bag of larks at a single mirror in one day was over 1,000 birds.

13. The Victorians also liked to keep male larks as songbirds, and a good singer would
fetch as much as 15 shillings.

14. Skylarks have been successfully introduced to New Zealand, Australia, Canada and
even Hawaii.

15. The decline of the skylark in Britain is attributed to the switch from spring to autumn
sowing of cereals and the resulting loss of winter stubbles.
 16. The Faeroe Islands have Europe’s smallest skylark population – just 10 pairs – while
Poland has the largest, an estimated 5 to 9 million pairs. Britain still has around 1
million.

17. Almost all European countries have reported a decline in lark numbers in recent
years, the result of agricultural intensification.

18. Skylarks remain a legal quarry species in France, and they are still shot there in large
numbers.

19. The critically endangered Raso lark is a close cousin of the skylark; it is found only
on one very small island in the Cape Verde group, where the population numbers around
100 birds.

20. The skylark is one of the most widely distributed of all British birds, found from
coastal dunes to the tops of the Cairngorms.

My Opinion only :

Chitra – Bright Jewel or Pearl is the symbol – Wood Pecker – Drumming action

Dhanistha – Drum or flute is the Symbol ---- Jewel Beetle

I feel if the Birds are changed then it will be correct as per Logic

Chitra – Bright Jewel or Pearl --- Jewel Beetle

Dhanistha- Drum or Flute ----- wood pecker drumming action

But our ancient sages are always correct so we have to improve our understanding.

@ Brilliantly colored and shiny to a fault, the Jewel Beetle is the common name for beetles in
the Buprestidae taxonomic family. Jewel beetles, also called metallic beetles or wood-boring
beetles, are so named because of their distinctive glossy bright colors and iridescent carapaces.
Jewel beetles are among the largest families of beetles and over 15,500 species have been
identified across 775 genera. Jewel beetles are ubiquitous around the world but the majority of
species are concentrated in the northern hemisphere.
Jewel beetles are highly prized among insect collectors due to their unique colors; the more
spectacular the more highly sought after. Several cultures throughout history have used the jewel
beetle carapace for decorative purposes, such as jewelry or in religious ceremonies.

Intelligent , Weather forecasting,
Reading Ramayana , Prayer to Lord Ram
@ Like all Crows, rooks are celebrated for their intelligence and can create tools to solve their
problems. In one experiment, a rook was placed next to a test tube half full of water. On the
water floated an earthworm, but the water level was too low for the bird to reach it. Some
pebbles were made available, and it did not take very long for the rook to work out that if it
dropped the pebbles into the test tube, thus raising the water level, the worm would float to the
top. Some humans wouldn’t be able to work that out.
@ Rooks are also a firm part of folklore. Many people believe they bring good luck. It is said
that if rooks abandon their communal nest site, a death is imminent.
@ In ENGLAND they note the behavior of ROOKS and forecast weather . If they fly away from
the nest the weather will be good and Clear Sky will be their and if they stay in the nest or get
early to the nest then the weather will Rough .
@ Country people have long thought you can foretell the weather by a rook’s nesting behaviour.
If they build their nests high in the trees, you can look forward to a fine summer, but built low in
the branches and a summer of wind and rain lies ahead.
