Pushya Nakshatra and Sunday – Jan 8th 2023

Sunday Jan 8th 2023 is Pushyaarka Yoga, so wanted to keep you all informed. The nakshatra is in India and USA.

The common interpretation of Pushyaarka Yoga is the combination of Pushya Nakshatra and Thursday or Sunday. This common interpretation is when moon entering Pushya nakshatra on Thursday  or Sunday is PushyArka yoga .

Raghavendra Mutta says “On this Holy day one should Recite or Chant Guru Stotra ( Raghavendra Stotra)s, Singing songs will bring happiness and prosperity in your life.”

The significance of this day is also mentioned in Rayara Stotra – 27th Stanza.

Anyone who recites this holy Sri Raghavendra Stotram 108 times with intense devotion, on the occasion of solar/lunar eclipse or the combination of Sunday with the star Pushya, will be relieved of all evil influence, e.g., haunting etc. (27)

Shri Raghavendra Stotra or Shri Poornabhodha Stotra Lyrics/

Ugabhoga 3 by Sri Purandara Dasaru

Sri Purandara Dasaru asks Lord who does he have? I truly had tears when my Father told me about this one. My father’s explanation was heartfelt.

I have a father like you, while you don’t have. I have a Lord like you, while you don’t have one. I have a King like you, while you don’t have. You are an outsider and I am the one who, belongs here, Your wife Goddess Lakshmi is my mother, Show me parents as virtuous like I have.

ನಿನ್ನಂಥ ತಂದೆ, ಎನಗುಂಟು ನಿನಗಿಲ್ಲ

ನಿನ್ನಂಥ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ, ಎನಗುಂಟು ನಿನಗಿಲ್ಲ

ನಿನ್ನಂಥ ದೊರೆ, ಎನಗುಂಟು ನಿನಗಿಲ್ಲ

ನೀನೇ ಪರದೇಶಿ, ನಾನೇ ಸ್ವದೇಶಿ

ನಿನ್ನ ಅರಸಿ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮೀ ಎನಗೆ ತಾಯಿಯುಂಟು

ಎನಗಿದ್ದ ತಾಯಿ ತಂದೆ ನಿನಗ್ಯಾರು-

ತೋರೊ ಶ್ರೀ ಪುರಂದರವಿಠಲ ||

Ninnantha tande, enaguntu ninagilla

Ninnantha svami , enaguntu ninagilla

Ninnantha doreyu, enaguntu ninagilla

Nine paradesi, nane svadesi

Ninna arasi lakshmi yenage tayiyuntu

Enagidda tayi tande ninagyaru- 

toro sri purandaravithala ||
