Malefic as Atmakaraka - Srila Prabhupada and Sri Ramakrishna to Venkat

[Guest guest]

Dear Venkat,

 

i want to answer a small bit of your query, relating to Rahu. Rahu is always

retrograde and retrograde planets are equated to Rahu, which gives desires

causing rebirth.

 

Ketu, which is always in the 7th from Rahu, causes moksha, though it is also retrograde.

 

When it comes to Chara Karakas, Ketu is out of it, because Ketu is moksha

karaka. So, planets, which are retrograde are treated akin to Rahu, which have

brought you back to this life! The deep rooted desire principle.

 

i am still working on your chart, whenever i have time. Hope to write to you soon.

 

regards

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

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 cleanhearted."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?
