Which is my nakshatra(birthstar)?

[orlando]

Namaste all.
Now I will quote something from the book How to Become a (Better) Hindu
A Guide for Seekers and Born Hindus.
by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami,who was a great guru of Shaiva-Siddhanta.

Sanskrit Birthstar Syllables

According to traditional jyotishis (Indian astrologers), among the most auspicious Hindu first names begin the syllables that corresponds to one's birthstar, called nakshatra, which is the constellation with which the moon was aligned at the moment of birth. Below is a list of the twenty-seven nakshatras and the distinct Sanskrit syllables that correspond to each. To choose a nakshatra name (namanakshatra), first determine the birthstar of the child or adult, then look for the star in the list below to determine the syllable(s) with which the name should begin. There are four sounds for each nakshatra, corresponding to the four quarters (padas) of each constellation. If you know the pada under which the child or adult was born, it is best to choose the syllable of that pada. Several of the nama-nakshatra syllables are quite rare in actual usage in the Sanskrit language. For example, someone born under the fourth pada of Purvashadha nakshatra may not find more than two or three qualifying names beginning with the syllable dhaa (long "a") even in extensive name lists, so it is common practice to choose a name starting with a similar syllable. In this case the syllable dha (short "a") ight be used, such as in the name Dharana, or dha as in Dharma. It is also common to resort to the syllable of another pada within the same nakshatra if too few names are available.

Why chose a name based on nakshatra? The first reason is that it vibrates in harmony with the nature of the individual in this particular incarnation, by virtue of its unique relation to the moon at the moment of birth, which has a significant impact on the inner, emotional nature. Secondly, by simply hearing the name, an astute jyotisha shastri, priest, swami or satguru would immediately know the nature of the person, cognizing that he was born under, say, the shravana nakshatra. He would thus be able to wisely counsel or console, advise and encourage accordingly. In ancient days, as today, this first sound of the first name was extremely important to knowledgeable preceptors.

Since I decided that in order to full embracing the Hindu religion one day I will legally change both my first and last name,I wish to know what is my nakshatra(birthstar).
I don't know how to know about it.
Hope that someone here will help me.
I was born in 11 august,1987.In Sicily,an italian region.

Time of birth is also needed. You also need to specify if special circumstances are applicable to you.( like summer time correction, war time correction etc). Timezone is also needed.

Namaste all.
My mother told me that I was born at 13:05 p.m.
No special circumstances are applicable to me.

The Brahman alone is self-naming !

The Brahman alone is self-naming.

And this autonymic pride (or spontaneous Mahat) is the original sin, upon which basis Creation itself is blamed ~ and the very reason for Brahma's decapitation by Rudra !

Namaste.
Finally I know my nakshatra.I posted the same question in another forum.
A person told me in another forum:

Trust you fall in rome, amsterdam, berlin time zone group.

If so, you nakshatra is Purvabadra, day is tuesday, tithi is tritiya, atiganda yoga
[...]
Pls revert back to me if you birthday is not tuesday

My mother told me that I was born in tuesday.This evening I will begin to choose my future hindu first name.

Shri Sarabhanga,I feel more and more that you feel toward me a feeling that I could call "hate".
Not sure about the reason.

Birth Star: PURVABADRA ( second pada)

Thank you very much for the information!

And I am quite sure that you have (once again) completely misconstrued my words!

The Brahman alone is self-naming.

And this autonymic pride (or spontaneous Mahat) is the original sin, upon which basis Creation itself is blamed ~ and the very reason for Brahma's decapitation by Rudra !

This is a VERY important point, which should not be ignored.

This is the very reason (which I have repeatedly stated) behind the absolute requirement in Sanatana Dharma for the unnamed to be named by one who is already named (by one already named by one already named, etc. etc.) all the way back to the source.

Sanatana Dharma requires that you are named by your own parents and/or by your Guru. And until you can grasp this one point, there is little chance that you will understand the rest.

No individual Christian (not even Jesus) can baptise or christen himself, and no Jew can perform his own circumcision !

If you get the answers you already expect you are happy, but if you don't like the answer (no matter how true) you would prefer to shoot the messenger.

Namaste,
While birth star is of great import within ones Janmi rasi chart, it is the quality of what you wish to bring out in your being that is important.
you can easily look up the Nakshastra ( there are 27 of them , some say 28)... but I would submit to you, what vibration do you wish to make manifest? Note the the birth chart and ones nakshastra is the postion of the moon (chandra) at the time of birth...

Note that the positon of the Sun ( surya) is just as important...as is Guru ( jupiter or brihaspiti). My recommendation is to seek a Jytoshi that understands this key concept of naming...
recommdation: look to Jyotishi's trained by Sanjay Rath of Puri. They have been trained... if you do not find one, go to Sanjay Rath. Do not treat this casually... getting the right vibration ( for sadhana, name, etc) is of great import.
