Pray at the temple of
your birth star
“Just as certain limbs of the body are purer than others, so
are certain places on the Earth more sacred—-some on account of
their situation, others because of their sparkling waters and others
because of the association or habitation of saintly people”. —-
Bhishma.
Our great country is widely known for worship at temples.
Undertaking pilgrimage to temples is part of our life, culture and
heritage. Sanatana Dharma advocates that a lot of merit can be
accrued, by worshipping at temples. What a lot of benefit one can
derive, if he gets the opportunity to worship at the temple,
specially dedicated to his birth-star!! EST gives here a list of
temples, dedicated to the 27 birth-stars.
In the Southern part of India, conglomeration of temples are found—-some
are dedicated to the Navagrahas and some others to the stars. This
part of India is specially known for spiritual fervour, where Alwars
(Vaishnavaite saints) and Nayanmars (Saivaite saints) preached the
essence of spirituality to the people.
