28 naxatra na nam
Jainism recognizes and respects the ancient Indian knowledge systems, including astrology, but its primary focus is on spiritual development, ethical living, and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The concept of "nakshatra" (constellations or lunar mansions) is more closely associated with Vedic astrology and Hindu traditions, not central Jain philosophy or scriptures.
However, for reference, the 28 nakshatras as per Indian tradition are:
- Ashwini
- Bharani
- Krittika
- Rohini
- Mrigashirsha
- Ardra
- Punarvasu
- Pushya
- Ashlesha
- Magha
- Purva Phalguni
- Uttara Phalguni
- Hasta
- Chitra
- Swati
- Vishakha
- Anuradha
- Jyeshtha
- Mula
- Purva Ashadha
- Uttara Ashadha
- Shravana
- Dhanishta
- Shatabhisha
- Purva Bhadrapada
- Uttara Bhadrapada
- Revati
- Abhijit
Please note: While Jains may be familiar with these names due to cultural overlap, Jain scriptures and philosophy do not emphasize nakshatra-based rituals or astrology. The focus remains on right conduct, faith, and knowledge for spiritual progress.
