Rudra is the lord of the wild animals and all things wild, strange or disturbing.
These comethrough Ardra, which therefore needs to seek control over them. Ardra
is ruled by Rudra, the fierce form of Lord Shiva who represents thunder - Thunder power
can make a person violent by nature. Native of ‘Ardra’ can be complaining and ungrateful.
The animal symbol is female dog (bitch) again confirming violence. This is a ‘teekshna
Sangyak’ Nakshatra, leading to destructive acts.
- Ardra is called atikshna Nakshatra with a gift from Brahma of “undefeatable power”.
Rudra is the lord of wildanimals and storms. Hence knowledge and power becomes a
double-edge sword used fordestruction.
- Ardra the earth is said to be starting its menstrual course that is "Ambobachi”.Arudra
means wet or surcharged with water, that is fat. Because the earth is running her menstrual
course there are teardrops falling one after another. From Rudra comes all suffering,
persecutions and oppressions, anger, ferocity of countenance or gruesomeness of noise.
Rudra is another name of Shiva, the "five-faced" [Panchaanana]. In knowledge, asceticism,
renunciation, as also in enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all desires. He is the
blue-throated one, the wielder of the most tremendous powers, what could not be
attempted, far less achieved by other Gods, when the churned Ocean at the time of
'Samudra Manthan' exhaled poison Siva achieved quite simply by holding the poison in his
throat [turning it blue]. On one side he is the symbol of the most perfect placidity and
serenity, on the other hand he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the great serpent
on his head and on his forehead crescent Moon with his sweet-soft light. He is at the same
time the most peaceful and also the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced
the intrinsic characteristics of Arudra. On the surface of it Arudra stands for suffering,
hardness,cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery, etc. The root characteristic is oppression -
in order to purify.
