Punarvasuv Ram Parivar Abhishek
Ram Parivar Abhiskek (Punarvasu)
This is the birth nakshatra of Lord Rama. The word Punarvasu is derived from Puna+ Vasu, which means return, renewal, restoration or repetition. The 12 Adityas were born of Kasyapa in the womb of Aditi. The 12 Adityas are Indra, Vishnu, Vaga,
Twasta, Varuna, Aryama, Pusa, Mitra, Agni, Parjyanya, Vivaswan and Dinakar. The mother Aditi of whom the Gods are born is the repository of everything good-truth, generosity, magnanimity, purity, aristocracy, beauty and renown. It follows that this star is the cause for these virtues. To start afresh after having once broken off, to start a new life, to come back from a distant land-all.
Punarvasu signifies these. It stands for freedom from restriction and limitation, and boundless space.

Sunder Kand
The Sundar Kand forms the heart of Valmiki's Ramayana and consists of a detailed, vivid account of Hanuman's adventures. After
learning about Sita, Hanuman assumes a gargantuan form and makes a colossal leap across the ocean to Lanka. Here, Hanuman
explores the demon's city and spies on Ravana. He locates Sita in Ashoka grove, who is wooed and threatened by Ravana and
his rakshasis to marry Ravana. He reassures her, giving Rama's signet ring as a sign of good faith. He offers to carry Sita back to
Rama, however she refuses, reluctant to allow herself to be touched by a male other than her husband. She says that Rama
himself must come and avenge the insult of her abduction.
Hanuman then wreaks havoc in Lanka by destroying trees and buildings, and killing Ravana's warriors. He allows himself to be
captured and produced before Ravana. He gives a bold lecture to Ravana to release Sita. He is condemned and his tail is set on
fire, but he escapes his bonds and, leaping from roof to roof, sets fire to Ravana's citadel and makes the giant leap back from the
island. The joyous search party returns to Kishkindha with the news.

Krittika Nakshathram
Karthikeya swamy’s Special Archana/arthi
In Hindu mythology, the god Murugan(Skanda/Subrahmanya/Kartikeya) was raised by the six sisters known as the K�ttikā and
thus came to be known as Kārtikeya (literally "Him of the K�ttikā"). According to the Mahābhārata, Murugan was born
to Agni and Svāhā, after the latter impersonated six of the seven wives of the Saptar�i and made love to him. The Saptarshi,
hearing of this incident and doubting their wives' chastity, divorced them. These wives then became the K�ttikā.
In Hindu astrology, K�ttikā is the third of the 27 nak�atras. It is ruled by Kārtikeya.
