Whenever we think about Mula nakshatra, we often forget, that the deity connected to it in the Vedas is not only Nirriti, but also Prajapati – or Brahma. When Brahma was just born, He didn’t know his origin, his purpose, neither could he penetrate through the darkness surrounding him. He tried to follow the stem of the lotus in the waters to find the root cause of his existence, but he failed to do so. Then, he decided to sit in meditation and find the answers for his questions within himself.

Similar are going to be the lessons for all of us during this transit of Saturn through Mula nakshatra. It will not be only a journey of self-discovery, and going to the roots of all things, but also facing the same void (as Mula nakshatra is nothing else but a super-massive black hole) and darkness, which Brahma needed to face, in order to find his true identity. To focus on our meditation and sadhana properly will be of the highest importance in this time period.

Few shlokas from Srimad Bhagavatam:

“Brahmā, born out of the lotus flower, could not see the world, although he was situated in the whorl. He therefore circumambulated all of space, and while moving his eyes in all directions he achieved four heads in terms of the four directions.”

“Lord Brahmā, situated in that lotus, could not perfectly understand the creation, the lotus or himself. At the end of the millennium the air of devastation began to move the water and the lotus in great circular waves.”

“Lord Brahmā, in his ignorance, contemplated: Who am I that am situated on the top of this lotus? Wherefrom has it sprouted? There must be something downwards, and that from which this lotus has grown must be within the water.”

“Lord Brahmā, thus contemplating, entered the water through the channel of the stem of the lotus. But in spite of entering the stem and going nearer to the navel of Viṣṇu, he could not trace out the root.”

“While searching in that way about his existence, Brahmā reached his ultimate time, which is the eternal wheel in the hand of Viṣṇu and which generates fear in the mind of the living entity like the fear of death.”

“Thereafter, being unable to achieve the desired destination, he retired from such searching and came back again to the top of the lotus. Thus, controlling all objectives, he concentrated his mind on the Supreme Lord.”
