Star soot: Recent Episodes
Ayamvada
To begin with, I'd mostly be talking about stars. Significant ones, possibly even all the notable stars in the sky from different cultures. A special reference to Indian astronomy and cataloguing the Bohenian stars for their attributes as well, although for the most part the areas of interest covered concern ancient histories and influences of the stars in regards to our condition, unbeknownst or otherwise. Slightly amateur starting out but a promising evolution awaits. The content however, as with the observable insights will not disappoint. Thank you. I pray you have a wonderful day.
Eternity in Indian mythology, and the pairings of astronomy to the stars.
And like starlight travelling at godspeed through the stardust of their reflections.
It would help to slow dawn and listen to the stars. It would help more if they could hear each other. Or then again, they have forever to do so.
In the meantime, these are some of the greatest pairings of stars to their consorts within the Indian pantheon of astronomy and ancient histories.
They include the marriage stars, Shiva, Saraswati, Krishna, Arjuna and several more intriguing starry specimens of spectacle.
Happy stargazing.
Star poetry. Significant stars from across cultures, the bohenian and obscure alike.
The work of the constellations, And all type of celestial sounds.
An introduction to some of the principal stars of the sky. Focussing squarely on associations of luck and fortunate tidings. The stars covered are the 5 stars with luck in the their name, the true north of a star, the Indian marriage stars, cupid's star and a few sweet asterisms from within the constellation of Pegasus.
The content is similar to an earlier longer episode of fortunate stars, this time in a briefer shorter version.
Have a wonderful day, and happy stargazing.

The work of the constellations, And all type of celestial sounds.
It is the Zodiac that represents the stars in our inner sky.
In each part of us… extended to its links.
But then the zodiac constellation themselves, holding as if in tether in its 30 steps to a degree.
That thin line we take to cut a path through the sky.
The tantra says our field to vision sees the five elements while the inner temple above the eyebrows spans through all 12.
And in that the Dvadasanta of cognition in the keep of the higher self witnesses time unfold.
A sense of certainty to the degree of the Zodiac, and we know which part of sky is our purview, to that effect is the claim of astrology.
The variables constant to the ancients as evident to our own awareness.
And yet these stars, even like the closest in kin and brethren, still unfamiliar, strangers to the soul even in its own reflection of them.
So which indeed are the stars of significance, with as many viewpoints as the steps dancing to decrees and degree. Perchance some instruction compensate what intuited grace is lacking. And knowledge as stardust begins its journey.
Conditioning in condiments until unconditioned to its own sacrament.
The subjective attest arrives, as if the stars themselves no longer in patient wait to be weighed.
Triumphant revelations of old make every feel like their own personal portent in karmic inheritance, validated to the redemption of cognitive feeling, and somewhat healing.
The eyes themselves reflect the stars, the delight to daylight, sunshine to nocturnal invite. The influence of the celestial bodies makes each still work their merchant mind to planet.
Grounded and closer to home in earthly abode, the influence of the planets instils until the querent has groomed to distil.
Each answer to questioning consciousness defining the unmanifest envision.
The stars pair up, triangulate their time to intervention. Under one star, the stargazers will find their own, and cast their winded journey.
That one star is the same for the entire galaxy, its true north. Polaris, to some. Reverent names to others that know him. Under that north star, each that will know themselves as the answer. In the act of definition.
The question wavers. Not enough waivers to quieten the defiance, the personality’s conditioned assert. The when in inert. The ability to answer, wisdom brings, each will know when.
But like the feminine grace of maturing borrowed knowledge, just as in redeeming and bequeathing the questioning mind.
And as just as emotions to the heart, and the smile’s impart to align.
A pause sublime, like a parans in angular equation, a star ruminates when to mark its time. Neither Utopian nor Bohemian, this was however meant to be of Bohenian stars in elucidation of their twine.
Ayi Ayi Ayi, a little longer, the cusp of innate clarity prods to fetch a little more information before launching its own into perspective entwine.
Watch this space, exclaimed a shooting star. The fixed star, unmoved.

The podcast itself runs to 27 minutes, rushes in bits but is full of wonderful information and musings of significant stars, especially with references to the Indian astronomy pantheon.
The written article itself is for sale if anyone listening curates for a publication. Thank you, be amongst the first to listen.
(Also last word of podcast "Akasa-vani" means celestial twine in Sanskrit, in which the music of the spheres is said to be heard among other holy commentary.)
