మూలా నక్షత్రం విశిష్టత | Moola Nakshatram Visistata | Devi Navaratrulu | Saraswathi | Garikapati

Discover the profound significance of Moola Nakshatram (the Root Star) with a special spiritual discourse (Pravachanam) by Sri Garikapati Narasimha Rao, delivered during the auspicious Devi Navaratrulu (Dasara Navaratri) festival. This lecture focuses on the sacred day of Saptami (Seventh Day), dedicated to Goddess Saraswati.
Dispelling Moola Nakshatram Myths: Sri Garikapati begins by addressing the deeply rooted, yet baseless, misconception that Moola Nakshatram is inauspicious, particularly for female children, which often leads to societal difficulties. He clarifies that this arises from confusing the Telugu word Moola (meaning corner or isolation) with the Sanskrit term Moolam, which means Root or Origin. Far from being negative, Moola Nakshatram is considered the root of creation (Srushti) and the origin of Vaangmayam (Literature/Word).
Saraswati and the Cosmic Veena: Moola Nakshatram is revered as the constellation of Saraswati Devi A unique visual feature of this star cluster is its shape, resembling the Veena (Lyre). This association is so strong that the Goddess is often depicted holding the instrument. Garikapati notes that the Western counterpart to this constellation is called 'Lyre' by the Greeks, which is the origin of the word "lyric".
The Root of Existence (Omkara): The discourse links the concept of Moolam to the ultimate root sound, Omkara. The three syllables of Om (A, U, M) symbolize Srushti, Sthiti, and Layam (Creation, Maintenance, and Dissolution), representing the entire cycle of existence through the opening, continuing, and closing of the mouth. The primordial sound (Dhwani) resulting from the dissolution of atoms is the sound of Saraswati's Veena (Kachchyapi).
The Four Purusharthas (Goals of Life): Sri Garikapati draws parallels between the four objects held by Sharada Devi (a form of Saraswati worshipped at Sringeri Peetham) and the four goals of human life (Purusharthas):
1. Book (Pustakam): Represents Dharma (righteous duty).
2. Lotus (Padmam/Vaarijam): Symbolizes Artha (wealth and prosperity), noting that Padmam is an ancient unit of currency equal to 100 crores.
3. Parrot (Shuka): Represents Kaama (desire/sensual enjoyment), as the parrot is the vehicle of Manmadha (Cupid). Hinduism uniquely views Kaama as a valid Purushartha.
4. Japamala (Akshadhama): Represents Moksha (liberation), emphasizing that constant chanting and inner devotion (Smarana) are the path to freedom.
This profound wisdom underscores the need for Manodhairyam (mental strength) derived from genuine Vedic knowledge, urging devotees to maintain inner detachment (Vairagyam) while fulfilling worldly duties (Pravrutti).
