Kul Devata and Ishta Devata. Aditya Ruia

Dear Aditya,

Kul Devta normally is one of the ancestors of the family or in some

cases it is a local God / Goddess. Only the elders of the family,

specially the women, can tell you about the kul devata.It can not be

told through the horoscope. Kul Devta is the protector of the

family, the well wisher of the family. Hence should be worshipped on

all happy occasions.

Ishta devata is normally the God traditionally worshipped in the

family. If there is no suach tradition in the family, a person can

choose any of the Gods he finds affinity with. Suppose there is no

tradition in the family of worshipping a god, nor he has any

affinity to a particular God, then an Ishta devata can be suggested

through the horoscope. Ishta devta is the God you worship

for 'Bhakti'.

Sincerely,

Priya
