Your Purchase Helps Sustain Ancient Temples

Georgia Putnam |

Since 2019 Georgia has taken nothing for herself from essence sales. Her entire portion supports the temples where the essences were born.

The ancient temples of southern India are not museums. They are living places of devotion, built and tended over centuries by people who came to pray to the deities and to each of the 27 stars of Vedic astrology. Every Nakshatra Temple Essence was activated in one of them. Some of them are in need of care.

The Anuradha Temple

Shri Mahalakshmiswarar Temple near Tirunindriyur is the temple of Anuradha, the star of friendship and sacred devotion, and Georgia's ascendant star. This small, remote temple was badly in need of care. When the Nakshatra essences were introduced in 2019, Georgia chose to direct her entire portion of every sale to its Swami, S. Sethurama Gurukkal.

A Cosmic Thread

Then, in November 2025, the Swami was called to serve at Gathra Sundareswarar Koil, the Krittika temple, the temple of Georgia's own birth star, where the Krittika essence was charged. Georgia's support went with him. He wrote to her:

Dear sister, I am now Krittika star temple priest. Yes this temple 3000 years old. God Siva name Sri Katrasundareshwarer and Devi Sri Dungabalasthambigai. Krittika star temple.

— S. Sethurama Gurukkal · November 18, 2025

Two temples, one Swami and the two most personal stars in Georgia's chart: Anuradha, her ascendant, and Krittika, her birth star. The thread was not planned. It was given.

Why It Matters

In Vedic tradition a temple is the earthly home of a cosmic force, kept alive by the devotion of those who come to it. When a temple falls into disrepair, that living link weakens.

The temples gave the essences their frequencies. The essences help the temples endure. When you hold a Nakshatra Temple Essence, you become part of this living circle.
