By analyzing planetary positions at the time of birth, Jyotish can reveal information about ancestral karma, family patterns, and inherited tendencies that may impact your path. This knowledge can provide a sense of connection to your roots, helping you to understand and navigate familial dynamics more effectively. By recognizing ancestral blessings and challenges, you can work towards healing generational wounds, making conscious choices, and harnessing strengths to fulfill life's purpose with greater clarity and insight.
Vedic Astrology & Indian Music
Nāda Nakṣatra Upāsana:
Nāda Nakṣatra Upāsana,is a practice that links Vedic Astrology and Indian Music. It arises from the Temples of Tamil Nadu in South India.
Nāda = Sound
Nakṣatra = Constellation
Upāsana = Practice
Each of the 27 nakṣatras or lunar constellations are aligned with an Indian rāga, a scale or a song that creates a specific emotional response in the listener. You can work the song or scale that is best suited for you based on your natal birth chart.
The Sufi mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan used this upāya, as did Rukmini Devi from Kalakshetra School in Madras, Tamil Nadu.
Sarod maestro K. Sridhar has been sharing this technique with Allison since 2010. He descends from 14 generations of temple musicians and 20 generations of Jyotiși's . His mother was a famous Brahmin singer in the temples and Sridhar's lineage is the Brīhadīśvara Temple of Thanjur, connected to Mannargudi Raja Gopala Śastri and Tyagaraja, the Father of Carnatic Music. Sridhar learned directly from the Senior Dagar Brothers, Ali Akbar Khan, and Ravi Shankar.
Allison's long-time interest in the spiritual philosophies that underpin the physical and mental exercises associated with yoga has served her well in grasping how sound/ tone can be a spiritual tool.
