Meditating with the mantra of your moon nakshatra is a powerful way to connect with the symbology of that nakshatra which will have a significant influence over your purpose in this life. Chanting the mantra of your nakshatra can also remedy or strengthen the placement of the moon in your chart. In the video below, we document the sound of a simple nama mantra of the Nagas:

The Sanskrit “Nāga” (नाग) can be translated to mean “cobra” or “serpent being”, and refers to a semi-divine race of half-human, half-serpent beings, also known as “Sarpa”. Ashlesha nakshatra is connected with themes related to poison, seduction, hypnotism, super-intelligence, hidden treasure, black magic and kundalini awakening. Ashlesha is often considered the star of embracing, entwinement or clinging. This asterism is symbolized by a coiled serpent.

According to a classical text on Vastu Shastra called Vishwakarma Prakash, the Vastu Purusha, the deity which resides under the land plot of every construction or home, is described as the “king of Snakes” (Vishwakarma Prakash Chapter 1 Text 99). The text usually refers to the Vastu Purusha as the “Vastu Naga”, “Naga” being a Sanskrit word for a kind of spiritual dragon or snake deity. It goes on to recommend the appeasement of this Naga through the use of mantras containing the Sanskrit word “Sarpebhyo”, the plural dative case of the word “sarpa” which means serpent.

Interestingly enough, the ancient practice of Land Form School Feng Shui holds that the land contains “dragons”, or channels of energy flowing through the land under a site which can greatly help the occupants of a space if harnessed properly, or hurt them if not properly accounted for in the construction of a building.

In Vedic astrology, the deity of the Ashlesha nakṣatra is also referred to as “sarpa”, and is appeased by the recitation of this same mantra.

In addition to improving the Vastu or Feng Shui of a space, this mantra can also be used to remedy planets placed in Ashlesha nakṣatra. Nagas in the Vedic tradition are also considered to rule over hidden things including treasures of the earth and secret knowledge, so this mantra can help one discover hidden things or occult secrets. It is also recommended as a remedy for Kala Sarpa Dosha, or the placement of all planets between Rahu and Ketu in a horoscope.
