Purva Phalguni aka Pooram Star - The Star of Sexual Bliss and Happiness

I thought of writing about this wonderful star named Purva Phalguni aka Pooram today. As the whole day was raining in my place and the weather was gloomy, to brighten my day, I thought about writing on a bright star, and this star came to my mind.

Well, so what is Purva Phalguni. Well, Purva Phalguni is sanskrit. Purva means The Former while Phalguni eans Red. Therefore literal sanksrit-english translation would mean the former reddish star. Why former, well it is connected to the next star, which is Uttara Phalguni (The Latter Reddish Star). So this Purva Phalguni is the first star before we enter the  next one which is Uttara Phalguni

The picture above vividly illustrates what this star is all about. This star is connected to the bed, particularly a red bed (since it is phalguni-red). The bed bring the connotation of comforts and all pleasures. While red denoted passions and creativity. Thus, this is the star of all pleasures and creativity in life. A person born under this star would always be sensuous and the center of attraction. Notable people like Madonna is an example...

The main archetype of this star is called bhaga or bahagia. Bhaga means happiness and comforts and is worshipped as god. The hindu word Bhag-wan comes from bhaga so is Bagh-dad. Well, Baghdad reminds me of someone now, and thats Saddam Hussein, poor guy was removed in a brutal way in office by Uncle Bush few years back...well as they say, what comes around, goes around...

Anyway, so this star is all about bhaga or happiness and pleasures of life. Therefore this star tells us about how to obtain that happiness. Now bhaga is depicted as the divine phallus conjoined to the divine vagina known as the phallus of Shiva, the Shivalingam

The Shivalingam (Divine phallus of Shiva) was conceived by our ancestors long time ago to denote the archetype Bhaga. Bhaga means the union of male and feminie principle, which is basically sexual union. In the physical plane sexual union leads to pleasurable bliss and the end product is children. Children is truly the blessings of the universe and is the greatest joy and happiness of everyone. Thus this star has to do with children.

The star sits in the Zodiac of Leo, and therefore is related to the 5th house in the astrological chart. Therefore, the 5th house denotes among others, creativity, children, love and sex and pleasures. All Purva Phalguni activities. Thus the ancients always considered the 5th house as a very important house in analysing our horoscope to determine our happiness or bahagia.

So, what use is all this information anyway you may ask, well this is such an important star. Many people are miserable and depressed and sad. What they need is Purva Phalguni theraphy. This theraphy basically attracts the powers and influence of Purva Phalguni and Bhaga to bless us with all comforts and pleasures in life. It is very easy to do actually.

On the day that the moon transits this star, on a waxing moon (rising moon), perform a water and milk bath to the Shivalingam. If you dont have a Lingam in the house, this can be done in a Shiva temple. Offer sincere prayers to Lord Shiva in his bhaga form, by first praising his benevolence and then obtain his blessings thereafter. This should be performed preferably by both the husband and wife. If unmarried, this is unnecessary.

Once back home, the wife should invite the universal masculine spirit into the husband (Shiva) by chanting the 108 names of Lord Shiva and offering flower petals (white flowers are best) for each name. The 108 names can be obtained in the net. Once this is done, the husband will then invite the universal feminine spirit (Devi) into the wife and offering flower petals (red flowers are best). All this is done in the bed. Candles and scents make it even better. Soft soothing music is definetely an added touch...and after that both should make love in the most passionate way and internalising the word "Bhaga" or "bahagia"...

Done over a period of time, this practice will slowly bring about happiness and all round comforts to the person. Those having problems with conceiving children will also be blessed to have children. Purva Phalguni is a very loving star, and all can ask for it's genuine help. It is one of the most wonderful stars around, and all we have to do is connect to its energies.

So here it is folks, lets make love, not war...cherrio :-)
