Khadira Grihya Sutra is a text in aphoristic style of the later Vedic period. This text lays down the religious rites to be performed by a follower of Sama Veda. It is divided into four major patalas (sections) and the first three sections divided into five khandas (sub-sections) each, and the last four. There are two texts for the Samavedins laying down the rules for domestic rituals. They are Khadira Grihya Sutra and Gobhila Grihya Sutra.

Khadira Grihya Sutra starts with descriptions of the time for performing domestic rites, the method of wearing the sacred thread during different rites, the definition of religious bathing and co

Kendra is an important part of the horoscope in Hindu astrology. A Kendra (center) or a Kendra sthana (central place), representing a quadrant, is crucial in interpreting a horoscope. The zodiac is a broad band in the sky extending for about 9 degrees on either side of the ecliptic (the apparent path of the sun). The ecliptic passes through the center of the zodiac longitudinally. The ecliptic is divided into twelve rashis (segments) or signs of the zodiac, which are named Mesha (Aries), Vrishabha (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini), and so on. The ecliptic is also populated with 27 constellations (Ashwini, etc). Each rashi consists of 30 degrees and each constellation (asterism/star or nakshatra) 3 degrees 20 minutes. When a child is born, its exact time of birth is noted and the rashi and the star, rising in the eastern horizon at that time and place, are accurately fixed. That rashi is called the lagna (the ascendant). Once the lagna is fixed, the rashi cakram (zodiacal diagram) is drawn

Work that is done thinking only about the results is quite inferior to that performed without the mind getting disturbed by thoughts of the results. Those who think only about the results are wretched indeed. – Bhagavad Gita 2.49 This does not imply that one should not bother about the results at all.
