Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Dear Sarajit, I'm writing from the 'archive /sic! Now I can say- yes, I know. Thanks a lot! Just to check this out. You said:"When a planet like Rahu becomes Ista devata, who will distract you from the right path"-/did you miss ? or ! If my understanding is right,I would answer, noooobody- if The Chief of Mafia is your best friend, what others can do! Is that right? I am sure your ID is at least Mercury if not The Boss Himself- Guru! I've read that that we can call for our ishta devata for that precious 'flash' of intuitive knowledge, inspitation in grasping dynamic of one chart- "goodness" of the worst malefic as ishta devata can be of "even the worst criminal loves his children" type- is that close to the truth? Rahu is my MK- /just between you and me, I know the reason why/- would that mean that my mother is, by extension /I don't like that method, by the way/ my powerful gardian angel? /I know she IS, for me/ Did I say no more Qs? Tnaks again for your patience and clarifying my doubts.

The functional maleficence and beneficence is depended on whether or not a planet owns 3rd, 6th or 11th . If it owns, then it becomes a malefic or neutral (if it owns a auspicious house along with this), irrespective of whether these house 3rd, 6th or 11th happens to be a Moolatrikona or not. However, if they happen to be the moolatrikona, then their evil is hightened. Now for Cancer natives, using these rules, Jupiter should be taken as Inauspicious, however, Maharishi Parashara pronounces otherwise. To understand this we can see what Ramanujacharya says in Bhavartha Ratnakarak. He says, Jupiters cannot cause any yoga. Now Parashara says that the 3rd/ 6th and 11th lordship prevents formation of any yoga. Now, seeing Jupiter's relationship with the Lagna, we see that Jupiter gets exalted in the Lagna and hence is auspicious, more so when Jupiter considers Moon a friend. Thus even if Jupiter is auspicious for Cancer Lagna, it will not cause any rajayoga. > > I know that in this case, we'll treat Ju as benefic- But it's still not clear to me > the reason WHY? > > 3a/ It seems to be part of the same question: Ju is exalted in 8th house from his MT sign, Sag. > > I think the two q's are related, are they not? > > [sP] Yes related as mentioned above. > > 4/ I don't feel comfortable with understanding Rahu as Ishta Devata- which energies would be there?

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 || Jaya Jagannath ||Dear Anna, My response follows: Best Wishes Sarajit - bona_mente vedic astrology Monday, August 04, 2003 5:14 PM [vedic astrology] Re: Affliction of Sun/ qqq's Dear Sarajit,I'm writing from the 'archive /sic!Now I can say- yes, I know. Thanks a lot!Just to check this out.You said:"When a planet like Rahu becomes Ista devata, who will distract you from the right path"-/did you miss ? or ! [sP] I probably missed "!" If my understanding is right,I would answer,noooobody-if The Chief of Mafia is your best friend,what others can do! Is that right? [sP] Yes. Thats the answer.I am sure your ID is at least Mercury if not The Boss Himself- Guru! [sP] My Ista devata is represented by Venus as 12th from AK is empty and is a Venusian sign. However, the deity who shall take me to the ISTA can be seen from the planets aspecting the 12th. Mercury aspects the 12th only and he shall take me to the ISTA devata, if I am not yet near Him/ Her. In the rasi chart you see that my ISTA planet is placed in a dusthana (6th house) and hence for me worshipping ISTA doesnot come that naturally as any planet who is placed in the Dusthana, the person is not naturally attracted towards that deity and the opposite to this is Trine. Mercury is placed in Trine and I like worshipping the Deity ruled by Mercury. Was that a guess or you saw my chart?I've read that that we can call for our ishta devata for that precious 'flash' of intuitive knowledge, inspitation in grasping dynamic of one chart- "goodness" of the worst malefic as ishta devata can be of "even the worst criminal loves his children" type- is that close to the truth? [sP] Yes, absolutely.Rahu is my MK- /just between you and me, I know the reason why/- would that mean that my mother is, by extension /I don't like that method, by the way/ my powerful gardian angel?/I know she IS, for me/ [sP] You got it right. There is a close relationship. For me it is mother too... Venus is my MK. Did I say no more Qs? [sP] Even if you have said so... I didn't hear!Tnaks again for your patience and clarifying my doubts.Anna-- In vedic astrology, "Sarajit Poddar" <sarajitp@h...> wrote:> || Jaya Jagannath ||> Dear Anna,> > My response follows:> > Best Wishes> Sarajit> - > j.b > vedic astrology > Saturday, August 02, 2003 7:06 AM> Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Affliction of Sun/ qqq's> > > Dear Sarajit,> > Would it be correct conclussion that btw. the two- 3rd and 6th, 6th will prevail as far as as 'enemies' are concerned?> Same from Rashi and AL.> > [sP] In the rasi chart 6th is the house of enemies and thats why the arudha of enemies is A6 and shall show those things for the enemies, which is shown by the AL for the self.
