few thoughts on Underastanding of AK planet

[Guest guest]

Hare Rama Krishna

 

Dear Utpal Ji & others, Namaskar

 

Talking about Atma gets us into discussion on Jeevatma & paramamtma

and further into Dwaita, adwaita etc.,

 

As i understand, as would Partha agree, it is the exeriences (

nothing good or bad about them) that the Atma is seeking. Because you

can transcend that which you have experienced!

 

So AK could signify, that which is the very purpose of this life and

hence is the all important and so the AK the king of the horoscope!

 

Just a few thoughts.

 

regards
