Shravanaश्रवण

Shravana is the twenty-second Nakshatra (10°–23°20' Makara), symbolized by an ear or three footprints and ruled by Vishnu, the preserver god. Its Yoni (compatibility animal) is Monkey, its Gana is Deva, and its Nadi is Antya (Kapha).

In practice

Shravana is on this app's "good" Muhurat Search list only for vehicle purchase — it is not on the favorable or unfavorable list for property purchase, Griha Pravesh, or new job.

How it's calculated

Shravana's Visha Ghati begins at the 10th ghati (of 60) — the earliest starting point of any Nakshatra in this app's table alongside Anuradha and Dhanishtha.

Ruling deity and general temperament are drawn from classical Vedic astrology texts — sources broadly agree on Shravana's association with listening, learning, and connection (via Vishnu and the "ear" symbol), though the emphasis on scholarly/receptive qualities versus the three-footprints "path" symbolism varies between texts.
Ruling deity and symbol

Shravana is ruled by Vishnu, the preserver god, reflecting its association with sustaining knowledge and connection across generations. Its symbol is an ear (representing listening and learning) or three footprints (representing Vishnu's mythic strides). Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is the Moon.

General temperament

Classical texts associate Shravana with attentive listening, learning, and the transmission of knowledge — people with a strong Shravana influence are traditionally described as good listeners, quick to learn, and often drawn to teaching, storytelling, or communication-based work.

Naming syllables (Muhurta Chintamani)

Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Shravana's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "Ju", "Je", "Jo", or "Gha" respectively.
