ABOUT SHRAVANA
Shravana is the twenty-second of the 27 Nakshatras, and its deity is Lord Vishnu. The name means to hear and to listen: acquiring knowledge by hearing, learning and studying. It is also associated with fame, wealth and reputation. Prayers to Lord Vishnu are said to help natives hear well of themselves and stay protected from a bad name.
It lies in Capricorn (Makara), from 10°00′ to 23°20′, and is ruled by the Moon (Saturn is the lord of the sign). It contains three stars, Alpha, Beta and Gamma Aquilae, which the Puranas describe as the three footsteps of Lord Vishnu in his Vamana avatar. Its regional names include Ananta, Thiruvonam, Hari Nakshatra and Apramaya, and it is called the Star of Hari, or Vishnu.
Shravana is the star of learning, and its main symbol is the ear. It is linked with the divine ability to hear cosmic sounds: the sound of OM, astral music and the melody of Krishna’s flute. Goddess Saraswati is its female deity.
