Native is shuffling between war and peace or between materialism and spirituality. However, will stick to materialism.
Ksheera Sagara Mathanam: (Samudra Manthan):
- Up on Vishnu’s directions, Gods requested demons to partner with them to obtain nectar from Ksheera Sagara. Natives will partner with enemies and work under someone who they dislike (Vishnu, who is biased)- because they are looking at a greater objective of obtaining nectar.
- The hood of snake Vasuki was towards the demons. Vasuki was spitting its venom. Demons are strong and better built (body) than the gods. Natives will sustain a lot of churning in life than their competitors / contemporaries etc.
- Kurma avatara emerged and supported the Mandhara parvata at the base. No body could see Kurma as it is beneath the hill. Natives actions are always behind the screen and they are not much appreciated – however, they try to help everyone.
- Haalahala emerged first and after long churning only nectar came out. Natives have to wait for long time while working to have the nectar of life. Alakshmi and Lakshmi both emerged from same ocean.
- Mohini played a spoil-sport in the distribution of nectar to demons. Natives may be cheated at the end in partnerships / agreements.
- However, they are very noble and understanding. Indra yells a lot and shows a lot of dominance, however, Nirruti is a silent demon.
Rakshasas (Nirruti):
- The Origin of the word Rakshasa is from Raksha – meaning protectors. They have constantly worked for them, their family and their clan. Rakshasa and demon are not exact synonyms.
- The one who is a genius, is another meaning.
- Across all yugas, all the Rakshasas are the enemies of Indra – because Rakshasas can take up severe penance – severe threat to Indra’s chair.
- Rakshasas always have hated their root good Vishnu or they were big devotees of him. Hiranya Kasyapa hated him, while Prahlada liked him very much. So, they either hate their mother or will love their mother (or parents) so much (extreme).
- Rakshasas are capable of changing form and shape (Kama rupas) – they can adapt to any situation.
- Rakshasas were followers of Sukracharya – when natives obeyed their Guru, they are successful.
- Rakshasas always fought a bigger person in caliber and cadre. Natives always fight people of higher stature.
- They will be extremely of good conduct – refrain from bad habits and will follow religious rituals sincerely. Or will hate people refraining from bad habits – as they are not enjoying life.
Ruta – NirRuta
- Ruta would mean truth, order and NirRuta would mean lies and disorder.
- Natives may be arranging things at home in order – or changing the current order of things arranged by someone else into another order.
- Natives will have strong prejudice about their belief systems. They are strong believers of what they believe – a very great guru can only change them to believe into something else.
- Native will not believe anything unless he validates it using his own process.
Hiranya Kasyapa / MahaBali / Ravana:
- Extremely devoted to the god they believed in.
- They always changed the order in which the cosmos was running.

- They are very learned and capable people – knowledge of shastras, yuddhas etc.
Indra-Vritrasura:
- All Demons and Gods are also the sons of Brahma. Same is the case of Vritra, and Indra who is created by Tvastar (Chitra). Not very cordial relationships between siblings.
- Vritra drank all the water in the world and opposed Indra. Natives are highly emotional or non-emotional.
- Indra ultimately slayed him using the Vajra. Truth always triumphs over untruth.

- They are very eager (active) to do something. Sitting idle is disliked by Nirruti. They always have a purpose and they keep working towards it.
- Usually they get to married to strangers by arranged marriage. They become moola (galactic center) for both sides of the family.
- Very learned people – have good knowledge on shastras, itihasas or other vocational subjects like singing/drawing etc. Sometimes, they are good at academics at UG /PG level, while they usually perform averagely at school level.
- Their success is because of their gurus. If they get good gurus, they tend to learn easily. If they get extreme gurus, they may become extremists with prejudice.

- They are usually working on subjects of research, constantly asking questions to check the sanctity of the subject being taught.
- Natives support their family, siblings, their community and their friends as a whole – however, their efforts or contribution is not recognized (like Kurma avatara) or may face criticism for doing it even better.
- Nirruti is a demon that causes chaos (opposite of order). Natives lives are full of many unexpected turns and twists.
- They usually challenge the decisions made by others – mostly softly.
- They dislike showing bias based on people. Or they are tuned to show the bias.
- They will not be easily deceived. But, sometimes when very big contracts are involved, they may be deceived due to greed.
Reticulated Roots: Reticulated roots represent a deep connection to the origin, foundation, and source. Mula Nakshatra is all about going to the root of things, whether it’s understanding the underlying causes of issues or uncovering deep truths. The intertwining of roots symbolizes complexity and the interconnectedness of life. Those born under Mula Nakshatra may experience complex situations in life where things are deeply intertwined, making their path challenging but also rich with potential for deep understanding and transformation
Elephant’s Goad: Untamed elephants are wild and will be difficult to control – as they are the strongest animals on the earth. However, Mahouts tame elephants using Goads. Mula nakshatra natives lead a large team or lead by a big man or both. It also points to the importance of self-mastery and the control of inner desires and impulses, which is essential for spiritual growth
Female Dog: Dogs are nurturing and often protective and caring. Instinctively, sensing potential dangers beforehand, dogs can navigate through challenging situations.
Lion’s Tail: It provides the balance and stability. Natives need to find balance and stability in their lives, which they struggle for.
