No one can annoy me more than people who hate on Shree Ram but call themselves Krishna Bhakt or vice versa. Or compare these two to prove one lesser than the other.

They're the same person for god's sake.

If you think they would disagree with each other's actions then sorry to break it to you, you're just being stupid and don't understand anything about any of them.

Same goes for the people comparing Maa Laxmi, Sita, Radha and Rukmini.

THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON.

Images of Lord Vishnu in the Vijayalaya Choleeswaram complex, Pudukkottai, South India, Mutharaiyar dynasty, 9th century.

Vijayalaya Choleeswaram, located in Narthamalai—a panchayat town in the Pudukottai district of Tamil Nadu, South India—is a temple dedicated to the Hindu gods Shiva and Vishnu, and also includes an 8th-century Jaina abode. It is regarded as one of the oldest stone temples in South India. Other parts of Narthamalai feature the 8th-century Aluruttimalai Jain Caves.

Built in the Dravida style and showcasing rock-cut architecture, the temple is believed to have been constructed in the 9th century by the Mutharaiyar dynasty, who were subordinates of the Pallavas. It was later expanded under the Cholas. The temple’s architecture represents an early form of Chola art, continuing the Pallava tradition.

the beauty of shravana is so ethereal. absolutely divine. in the vedas it is said that the goddess laxmi resides in this nakshatra, hence her husband, lord vishnu, is the presiding deity.

⋆˙⟡ " The call of His flute is always there, beckoning the sluggish heart entrammeled in worldly desires to come to Him. Once having come under the spell of His call, there is no going back. Life flows in waves of delight in which He alone is the dancer and the dance, the singer and the song, the way and the goal."⋆˙⟡

Pair of Deity Earrings with Vishnu on Garuda (front) and chepu (monster mask) (back), Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, 1600s or 1700s. Cleveland Museum of Art (ID: 1915.338). A green Vishnu with four arms, each holding his attributes of discus (his upper right hand), mace (upper left), lotus (lower right), and conch (in pearl, lower left) rides on a coral Garuda with lapis wings, arms outstretched. The blue figures on either side are probably celestial beings praising him in dance postures, with one leg crossed over the other. On the back sides, delicate filigree floral scrolls form the backdrop of a protective mask popular in the Nepal; a sun over a crescent moon are inlaid above his head. (Cleveland Museum of Art)

Some things I’ve noticed about Shravana:

They tend to introduce people to others. Shravanas shakti is the power "to connect things". As individuals they are very well connected, and I've seen them introduce people and groups to one another many times. They also have a really good ability to connect with people, and I've seen this network support them. Whenever they’re in crisis there’s typically going to be a couple people, sometimes a whole web, who can catch them.

Shravanas can be the glue, keeping peace and maintaining their environments. Especially work and family, it’s the Vishnu influence. I think this tends to develop over longer periods of time which is why it’s easily observable in the family sphere. The more they grow accustomed to a space the more they learn how its works, once they learn this they can easily become part of the functioning. (Saturn is Shravana’s rashi lord).

The other side of this ability is they can easily flip an environment’s mood/energy. Shravana is Saturn+Moon, control+emotion/energy. Generally speaking though, this is where they get playful. Vishnu’s avatar over this nakshatra is Vamana, the trickster. Their jokes and tricks are usually lighthearted and unserious, maybe a bit annoying sometimes though. The nakshatra’s desire is “to hear good things about oneself”, they really aren’t going to be too outlandish (most of the time).
