Lyra- Moola

THE SUMMER TRIANGLE

The Summer Triangle is formed by 3 asterisms (stars) in the Northern hemisphere of the galaxy. These 3 stars form a pattern in the shape of a trianlge and well known as the Summer Triangle in the northern summer night sky.  Deneb Algedi belonging to the Cygnus (Swan) constellation, Vega belonging to the Lyra (Veena) constellation and Altair (Eagle) belonging to the Aquila constellation form the spiritual Summer Triangle. These 3 asterisms are significant for being the brightest and most brilliant asterisms in their respective constellations. In the summer night sky they shine brilliantly.

The Summer Triangle constituted by the 3 constellations-

1. Cygnus- Swan (Hamsa)
2. Lyra- Harp (Veena)
3. Aquila- Eagle (Garuda)

LYRA-MOOLA

The constellation Lyra, which literally means Lyre or Harp in Latin (the origin of Veena) belongs to the Cygnus constellation. Cygnus constellation which is in the centre of the Milky Way  means "Seat of the Swan" in Latin. According to Vedic astrology Cygnus constellation which is in the shape of a Swan is the Seat of Goddess Saraswathi (Hamsa Vahanam).

 Lyra is the first star of Sagittarius (First 12 to 13 days of the rising of this constellation in Sagittarius happens when Sun enters this Zodiac sign). Vega belonging to Lyra is the one of the most brilliant stars in the night sky. This star Vega is bright blue in colour and means "HE SHALL BE EXALTED" in Arabic.
 Reportedly Sun and all the planets are rushing towards Vega (which is in Lyra constellation) at the rate of 12 miles per second!! Certain authentic scriptures claim that there is fulfillment of Seed Promise in Sagittarius which contains the constellation of Lyra (Moola) in it. These scriptures have elaborated further that Sagittarius holds a Savior's promise of paying the penalty for the sins of human beings including that of Adam and Eve. What caught my attention was the word "Seed". Seed means origin, origin means root, root means Moola- Moola nakshatra which literally indicates the Root Chakra. Moola Nakshatra signifies Lord Vighneswara, the First Lord, for removing obstacles.

If Cygnus constellation (Swan) is the seat of Goddess Saraswathi, Lyra (Veena) is what She holds in Her hands.Goddess Saraswathi seated on the Swan (Cygnus) seems to be encompassing the Summer Triangle in a particular angle that facilitates Her to hold Lyra (Veena ) in Her hands!!

Tropical zodiac system arrives at Uttarashadha Nakshatra for Vega (Lyra), but strictly according to sidereal zodiac calculations it is Moola Nakshatra that correlates with Vega (Lyra). Great spiritual and mythological personalities who are acclaimed Veena players have their Moon in Moola Nakshatra and Moola is the root, the origin which is why  Sun and its planets and almost everything in the galaxy are heading back to the origin, Moola at a rate of 12 miles per second - signifying the CREATION AND DISSOLUTION of the Universe!
