Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Namaste Vishnugaru, Ishta Devata is seen from the 12th from AK in navamsa, because praying to Ishta can liberate the soul from bodily existence. From D-1 to D-12 all charts deal with physical plane and its pre-occupation with the four purusharthas. Hence you see Palana Devata and Dharma devata also from Navamsa. Praying to Kula devata and Grama devata is automatically handed down from generation to generation in a family / village, as a collective as well as individual upasana, so this worship pertains to the "conscious mental plane" and is to be read from 8th house / D-20 chart. Hence, I think, kula devata/griha devata and grama devata are the indicated by 2nd & 4th houses, respectively, in D-20. For more details, please read the excellent articles in Varga Chakra.

I am basing these questions on my understanding thatNavamsa(D-9) represents dharmic manifestations of the soul.1) Does the 12th from Atmakaraka represent the desire of thesoul(towards liberation) at a a sub-conscious level? Is that the reasonwhy Ishta devata is seen from the 12th and is viewed as the promoter ofliberation? If the 12th represents liberation qualities/desires of the soul, 2) Does 4th from atmakaraka in navamsa(D-9) represent the GruhaDevata(family deity) or should one be looking at D-4/D-20. How does onedecipher Grama Devata(village deity)?3) Does 5th from atmakara represent Aradhya Devata(Adored deity) orshould one be looking at D-5/D-20?4) Does 9th from atmakaraka represent Dharma Adhishtana Devata(SupremeDharma Deity) or should one be looking at D-81/D-20?warm regards,Vishnu=====||Om akhandala mandalaa kaaram vyaaptam yena charaa charam tatpadam darsitam yena tasmai sri gurave namaha || _______________________________Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today!http://vote.Archives: vedic astrologyGroup info: vedic astrology/info.htmlTo UNSUBSCRIBE: Blank mail to vedic astrology-.......
