Our ancient Rishi-Munis have described 8 Chandrat Nakshatra Bindus (CNB). These are 1.Karm, 2.Sanghaatik, 3.Uday, 4.Aadhan, 5.Vinaash, 6.Maanas, 7.Raaj and 8.Abhishek.. As these are Chandrat nakshatra bindus, they are counted from the Nakshatra of Chandra i.e. Moon in native’s birth horoscope. Each CNB occupies one constellation and they come in this serial order only. They are situated at certain distance from the constellation of Moon which is fixed by our rishi-munies. Accordingly Karm occupies 10th nakshatra from the nakshatra of Moon. Sanghatik is situated in 16th Nakshatra from the Nakshatra of Moon. Similarly Uday occupies 18th nakshatra, Aadhan occupies 19th Nakshatra, Vinaash occupies 23rd Nakshatra, Maanas occupies 25th Nakshatra, Raaj occupies 26th nakshatra and Abhishek occupies 27th Nakshatra from the Nakshatra of Moon respectively. In tabular form it will be:

Meaning of CNBs:

1. Karm: Karm denotes work or deeds. Every native has taken birth to do certain deeds. This bindu provides the opportunities to carry out these deeds. In Sarvatobhadra chakra Karm bindu denotes the reason for which the native has taken rebirth. The house in which this bindu is placed plays an important role in reaching the goals of the life of native. This house becomes instrumental in providing opportunities to native to earn his livelihood, fulfill his family and social obligations. The main objective of the work or deeds of the native will be to get the fruits of the house in which this bindu is present. E.g. if this bindu is present in the 2nd house, which is the house of money matters, savings of money, wealth and family members then the main objective of native’s deeds will be to earn lot of money, increase his bank balance and amass as much wealth as possible and to ensure the happiness of his family members. These things would come first in the life of native i.e. first priority deeds in his life.

2. Sanghaatik: Means together or to work in groups. As per the characteristics of this bindu, native gets co-operation from known or unknown persons in getting fruits of the house in which this bindu is present. Fruits could be good or bad as per the transit of planets and as per the strength of this house in the horoscope. But as this bindu is a chandrat nakshatra bindu, the degree of bad fruits could be decreased and the amount of good fruits can be increased by proper planning and effort which is the characteristics of chandrat nakshatra bindu. Another characteristic of this bindu is that if person tries to do some work on his own, he may not be able to finish it or will find it hard to finish it but if he takes the help of others, the same job will be done easily and nicely. E.g. a person wants to book a railway ticket. If he goes himself to the booking office, he will find a long Q there, some people may break the Q and get the ticket; booking officer may take longer time then is required and find it hard, tedious and time consuming. Instead if he contacts any booking agent and asks him to book ticket for him, his work will be done easily and without any hardship.

3. Uday: This is the 3rd CNB occupying 18th nakshatra from the nakshatra of Moon. This bindu denotes the rise of fortune and progress of the native and the house in which this bindu is placed gives opportunities for progress. Suppose this bindu is present in the 4th house, then the 4th house is the house of mother and very close friends. So native’s mother or close friends play an important role in the rise of native or his progress. Native uses his intelligence or power to bring about the progress in his life. During the favourable rotation of planets, there will be rise of fortune and progress in the life of the native but during unfavourable rotation of planets, there will be worries about the progress or about the fortune and if the birth horoscope is also not powerful then there might be the downfall of the native.

4. Aadhan: This is the 4th CNB occupying 19th nakshatra from the nakshatra of Moon. Aadhan means invisible growth or the invisible growth of the fruits of the house in which this bindu is placed. E.g. if we sow some seeds in the soil, we will not be able to see it grow for few days as their growth take place under ground. The fact that we can not see seeds growing for first few days does not mean that seeds are not growing. We will be able to see them grow after few days as its stem come out of the soil. So we may not be able to see the fruits of the house in which this bindu is present initially even after hard work or efforts. These fruits which are not visible at the time of work are not going to get destroyed but we are going to get them in future.

5. Vinaash: This is the 5th CNB and is placed in 23rd nakshatra from the nakshatra of Moon. The meaning of Vinaash is destruction. The bindu denotes the destruction of the fruits of the house in which it is present. This destruction could be due to nature or by the folly of the native. The fruits of the house which have been accumulated in the past during the rotation of good planets get destroyed during unfavorable rotation of planets. This destruction can be total or partial depending upon the strength of the house in native’s birth horoscope. But since this is a CNB, this destruction can be minimized or avoided.

6. Maanas: This is the 6th CNB occupying 25th Nakshatra from the nakshatra of Moon. Maanas means memory or some thoughts which has left deep impression on memory. The memory of good or the bad fruits of the house in which this bindu is situated leave a long lasting impression on the mind of the native. He cannot forget the bad situation developed during malefic rotation even if he tries very hard to forget it. Similarly he cannot forget the good things that have happened regarding this house. So there is a long lasting impact of all types of fruits of this house on the memory of the native. These fruits have to be endured by the native alone. But as this is a CNB, native can reduce the bad effects of fruits or increase the good effect by efforts and planning.

7. Raaj: this is the 7th CNB occupying 26th nakshatra from the nakshatra of Moon. The meaning of Raaj is kingly, i.e. like a king. The native gets all types of happiness, luxury, name and fame like a King. He gets all types of luxuries, top honours and fame in public. He is the boss of organizations or companies. He gets lot of wealth and fame in the society. The way in which the native works to get the fruits of the house in which this bindu is present creates a kingly aura. Sometimes native gets fruits of this house as if it is his right to get those fruits. The native gets famous in his society. All these fruits are obtained when the house in which this bindu is present is strong in the horoscope. These fruits are obtained during the favourable transit of planets. But if this house is not strong, then during unfavourable rotation of planets, native will have all sorts of worries about his name, fame, wealth and happiness.

8. Abhishek: This is the 8th and last CNB occupying 27th nakshatra from the nakshatra of Moon. It means public honour i.e. getting honour in public by the society or country. For example if some one wins an award or any medal in any field at the national or international level is honored in public by his country or association to which he is attached.. The house in which this bindu is present becomes instrumental in achieving this feat. The native achieves such top positions that he is publicly honoured. E.g. Abhinav Bindra who won gold medal in Olympics at Beijing was praised by one and all and was honoured by public, president of India and other distinguished personalities and associations of the country and also got lot of prize money. Like Michael Phelps creating history in winning record number of Gold Medals in swimming completion at Beijing Olympics was honored by his country and many others. But these fruits are obtained only if the house is strong in the horoscope and only during favourable rotation of planets. During unfavourable rotation of planets contrary to these fruits are obtained. Native gets discredit or is publicly humiliated and we can take the example of Golden Olympic runner Marion Jones of US who was stripped off her gold medals as she tested positive for the banned drugs.
