About Mula Nakshatra
Mula is the 19th of the 27 nakshatras in Vedic astrology. It is ruled by Ketu (కేతు) and falls under Dhanu (Sagittarius) (ధనుస్సు రాశి). Babies born under Mula nakshatra are traditionally named with syllables starting with Ye, Yo, Bha, Bhi (యే, యో, భ, భి), corresponding to the four padas of this nakshatra.
The naming tradition (Namakaranam) is based on the Moon's precise position at the time of birth. Each pada spans 3°20' of the zodiac and prescribes a unique starting syllable. This ensures the baby's name resonates with their birth star's energy and the planetary influence of Ketu.
