(10 names)Shravana (also written as Sravana, Thiruvonam) is the 22th of 27 nakshatras in the Vedic lunar calendar — the ancient system that divides the zodiac into 27 lunar mansions based on the Moon's daily position. It falls in Makara (Capricorn), is symbolised by the Three footprints; ear, belongs to the Air element, and is ruled by Moon.
Shravana nakshatra is ruled by the Moon and governed by Vishnu, the preserver. Shravana means "hearing" — children born under this star are excellent listeners, deep learners, spiritually sensitive, and gifted at connecting people across distances.
Presiding Deity: Vishnu — The preserver of the universe. In the Vedic naming tradition, a child born under Shravana nakshatra is given a name starting with one of the four sacred aksharas — Ju, Je, Jo, Sha — syllables believed to resonate with Vishnu's cosmic energy and reinforce the child's natural traits: listening, learning, spiritually sensitive, connected, wise, empathetic.
Children born under Shravana nakshatra should have names starting with Ju (जु), Je (जे), Jo (जो), Sha (शा). The presiding deity is Vishnu and the ruling planet is Moon. Traits: Listening, learning, spiritually sensitive, connected, wise, empathetic.
Namkaran (नामकरण) is the Hindu naming ceremony traditionally performed on the 11th or 12th day after birth. A Vedic pandit casts the baby's birth chart, identifies the exact nakshatra and pada the Moon occupied, and prescribes the auspicious akshara. For a Shravana nakshatra child, the recommended starting syllables are Ju, Je, Jo, Sha. The ceremony formalises the name in the presence of family and elders, guided by the child's personal horoscope.
The 4 Aksharas of Shravana Nakshatra
Each nakshatra has 4 padas (quarters of 3°20' each). The akshara above is the auspicious starting sound for each pada. In the Namkaran (baby naming) ceremony, the family pandit will identify the exact pada from the birth chart to recommend the most precise akshara for the child.
Each nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac and is divided into 4 padas (quarters of 3°20′ each). The pada the Moon occupies at your baby's exact birth time determines the most precise akshara. For Shravana: Pada 1 → Ju, Pada 2 → Je, Pada 3 → Jo, Pada 4 → Sha. A birth chart with the exact birth time and city gives the correct pada.
About Shravana Nakshatra
“The Shravana nakshatra, ruled by Moon, carries a very specific vibrational signature. In my consultations, children born under this nakshatra consistently show listening, learning, spiritually sensitive, connected, wise, empathetic. A name starting with the correct akshara reinforces rather than fights these natural tendencies — I have seen this make a measurable difference in the child's early confidence and sense of identity. Per Vishnu Dharmottara Purana and the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, the Namkaran syllable is not tradition for tradition's sake — it is a calculated resonance with the child's natal Moon.”

Shravana nakshatra is ruled by the Moon and governed by Vishnu, the preserver. Shravana means "hearing" — children born under this star are excellent listeners, deep learners, spiritually sensitive, and gifted at connecting people across distances.
Shravana nakshatra is presided over by Vishnu (The preserver of the universe) and ruled by Moon. In the Vedic naming tradition, a name starting with the correct akshara — Ju, Je, Jo, Sha — invokes the deity's blessings and aligns the child's daily identity with their natal lunar energy. Per the Vishnu Dharmottara Purana, a child's name creates a resonance with the ruling planetary force that lasts a lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Moon changes nakshatras roughly every 24 hours, so birth date alone is not enough — the exact birth time and city are required. Use AstroSight's free Birth Chart Calculator to verify the Moon's nakshatra. If the Moon was in Shravana at birth, all names starting with Ju, Je, Jo, Sha are auspicious. For the most precise pada recommendation, consult a Vedic pandit with the full birth chart.
