Dear Hari,

 

It’s a pleasure to see your reply to my mail.

 

I was confused regarding the aspect of mars on Jup. & Venus and also about

praying to Hanumanji on Tuesday. Thankx for the clarification. I am still

learning Rashi Drishti and not conversant with it fully. There are still a few

doubts.

 

In her chart Jupiter is debilitated though ahead in degrees. Still should

Jupiter be given the consideration or should it be the lord of the house i.e.

Saturn. Also, Venus is in friendly sign. Hence he also becomes the contender for

denoting the ishta.

 

Now, “All the planets aspecting the 12th will give the result”. Hence shall I

consider Mars aspect also or it will only be rashi drishti that will be

considered and no effect of graha drishti is to be taken into account.

 

In one of the mails by a senior member it was written that let the person start

praying and in the mean-time the ishta will himself show him the path towards

him (ishta-devta). In Rambha’s case – she is praying to Lord-Hanuman. Will it

be that due to mars graha drishti that she will hence find out a way to her

ishta devta or she should start praying to ishta-devta as derived from her

horoscope.

 

For my-knowledge can you explain in a layman’s language which god "Samba Shiva

(Guru Rupa)" will represent. Will it be Lord Shiva or any other god?

 

Also, would you elaborate on who will take her to her ishta-devta. I am

confused here.

 

Kindly throw light on the above.

 

Thnx 1ce again. I look forward to your co-operation in the near future.

 

Regards,

Ashwin

Am sure you know the difference. In anycase the rules are very clear. When 12th

from karakamsa has more planets, the planet that has gained more degrees is the

ista. and in this case, aspects are not seen. We both need to meditate more in

understanding rasi drishti.

[Vedic Astrology] [Hari ]Few Queries : Ishta-Devta

Take your thinking a bit further. What if there was mars posted with jupiter who

is debilitated? then her ista would have been hanuman/Narasimha/Skanda. (any one

of them). Thus in the absence of a more powerful planet with jupiter, jupiter

would denote the ista.

> > Now, "All the planets aspecting the 12th will give the result". Hence

shall I consider Mars aspect also or it will only be rashi drishti that will

be considered and no effect of graha drishti is to be taken into account.

 

The difference between Rasi dristi and Graha Drishti is as follows. Rasi's are

parmanent in nature where as graha's are not. Thus if any parmanent source

aspects, then that aspect itself is parmanent. Thus Rasi drishti is parmanent

in nature and the involved rasi;s have parmanent knowledge of each other. For

example, Aries will never forget Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Graha drishti is

only temporary. Thus Graha Dristi only indicates a desire denoted by that

planet. Desires are swayed by maya. Now, when we talk of planets aspecting the

12th we acutally mean Rasi Drishti alone since they are parmanent. > > In one

I think you are refering to the mail of a senior member in some other list,

right? i think it would be unfair for the guru's of that list to start taking

the discussions from that list to this list. In anycase, See how many rasi

aspects are there to the 12th from the karakamsa. Planets in those signs guide

the native to his/her Ista.
