Dr. David Frawley in his Introduction to Nakshatras says “It was to the Moon that the ancient
people first looked for calculating time and connecting to the stars. The Moon is the basis of the
heavenly clock. The first zodiac, therefore, would have been lunar.”
He further says : “theVedic Nakshatras arose from such a spiritual perception of the cosmos. The
Nakshatras represent the abodes into which the fruits of our labour, our karma, is transferred and
stored. The Nakshatras are the mansions of the Gods or cosmic powers and of the Rashis or sages.
They can also project negative or anti-divine forces, just as certain planets like Saturn have wellknow
malefic affects.” Some scholars derive Nakshatra from “na” and “kshatras” = not
destructible.
