Malefic as Atmakaraka - Srila Prabhupada and Sri Ramakrishna

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

>From Pundit Sanjay Rath's lessons on this newsgroup, I learnt that

having a malefic as atmakaraka shows more spiritual evolution for

the soul involved. This is certainly tru for both Srila Prabhupada

and Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, both of who have Rahu as

Atmakaraka. However, in the same lesson, the effect of having Rahu

as Atmakaraka was defined as

"Rahu as AK indicates that the native maybe cheated often and will

still have to be free from guile and clean

hearted."

 

I cannot imagine that great souls such as these could have cheated

often etc. How to reconcile these apparent differences?

 

Also, it says that a retrograde Atmakaraka indicates deep rooted

desires to be cause of birth. Since Rahu is naturally retrograde,

does this apply in this case too? Or is it the opposite, i.e., if

Rahu is DIRECT, it implies deep rooted desires, since Rahu is

naturally retrogressive?

 

Respectfully,

Venkat

Dear Venkat,

 

Having Rahu as AK implies that the native is very susceptible to be cheated.They

will be cheated but they should not cheat back.Likewise in the case of saturn as

AK, the native will have to take or absorb a lot of sorrow from others but

should never cause sorrow.So it does apply to great souls.

 

If Rahu, the most base and materialistic of all planets is himself

responsible(as atmakaraka) for leading one to God, the chances of the native

deviating from God conciousness is very low. The other grahas are undoubtedly

milder in their propensity to engage the native in sense gratification when

compared to Rahu.This is the understanding of why someone with Rahu as AK could

be very spiritual.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Hare Krishna
