"Aja Ekapat desires, "May I
gain
radiance and the splendor of spiritual knowledge ."
-
One who makes the
appropriate offering to Aja Ekapat, to Purva Bhadra,
-
Purva Bhadra has a great spiritual potential like Brihaspati ruled Pushya.
-
It
can give even more
insight, perception and
spiritual fire: that of the
soul.
-
It awakens us to our higher spiritual potential and power in life."
