are a pair, even though they are not called purva-uttara like the other
nakshatra pairs. "~~ Valerie Roebuck,
The Circle
of the Stars , p. 100
"Vishnu desired, "May I hear
people say good words about me.
May I not gain any bad regard."
One who
makes the appropriate offering to Vishnu, to Shravana, hears good words about
himself and does not come to any bad regard.
Those born under Shravana are concerned about what people say about them and
about their public reputation.
They will strive to keep themselves in good
repute.
They are sensitive about the opinions of others."

BPL: Shravana "people are talking, Shravana is listening"
- Shravana is deeply concerned with public respectability and
reputation.
- In the extreme case, Shravana may be willing to damage the
internal family life in order to preserve the facade of public
dignity.
- In my files is a case of Shravana Chandra during
Sade Saati.
- The 30-something
Shravana Chandra female, under tremendous stress of an unexpected
divorce, was so concerned with avoiding public embarrassment that she
left her children with the ex-husband and moved to a city 500 miles
away.
- She joined a new church, got a new job, rented a new
apartment in a prestige neighborhood.
- She never told co-workers or
neighbors about her divorce or the children she left behind.
- Fellow
churchgoers heard that she was widowed.
- Only after the end of Sade Saati did she permit her children to visit her, and even so they did
not go out to restaurants or walk in the town, due to her fear that
people might talk.
