चित्रा नक्षत्र वेद मंत्र :

ॐ त्वष्टातुरीयो अद्धुत इन्द्रागी पुष्टिवर्द्धनम ।

द्विपदापदाया: च्छ्न्द इन्द्रियमुक्षा गौत्र वयोदधु: ।

त्वष्द्रेनम: । ॐ विश्वकर्मणे नम: ।

Tvashtar, the Divine Architect and creator of all forms, inspires us to take shape our own destiny with our hands and efforts. Being a presiding deity of Citra nakshatra, the most tamasic of all lunar mansions, he teaches us how to taken even darkest or most difficult experience and turn it into something beautiful – in the same way how oyster turns an irritating grain of sand into a precious pearl. Citra nakshatra blesses us with skill to bring something beautiful and profound even out of seeming chaos. But it can also sometimes awaken inside of us a false feeling of ego or “I am the doer”, which may lead to disconnection from the Divine.

“Citra nakshatra is addressed as “human brick” in Taittiriya Brahmana. Each of our actions is a brick in the sacrificial altar, which we are building ourselves. Yet, what do we sacrifice on this altar, which bricks or deeds do we use to build it from, and what is our objective behind that, is what makes all the difference. Citra nakshatra is also said to give the one the power to rise to heavens – because, if we build our metaphoric sacrificial altars carefully, with good deeds, and with attitude of detachment, our soul can easily reach higher realms.”
