Nakshatra Mala - Vedic Birth star Code Book. A scientific look at your life using the position of the star constellation at the time of your birth to predict your life The Nakshatras are one of the oldest references we have to astrology from the Rig Veda, dating back to about 5,000 years ago. The Vedas are the religious scriptures of the great seers and sages of India and the Nakshatras are like the zodiacal signs but more specific. Their meanings are derived from the constellations, fixed stars and the mythology behind these portions in the sky. They are profound in meaning and have ruling deities that reveal the stories or myths that bring to life the symbolism referred to in our own lives.
