Guest guest Report post Posted September 24, 2009 NAMASTE Dear Mahalaxmyey, I think, this the best answer to hear with, but is this so simple? if yes, then I will definitely follow your advice... In previous days, there are books I read, taught to find ISHTA DEVATA from 12th house from ATMAKARAKA in D9, but currently I have got a well explained topic on ISHTA DEVATA by P.V.R ji, taught to find him/her from 12th from ATMAKARAKA in D20... In my case, 12th from KARAKAMSHA in D20 is GEMINI and there is no aspect or association, but its LORD MERCURY is my LAGNA LORD as well as ATMAKARAK...now the question arises, how could it be possible for ATMAKARAKA to liberate the soul too? Please help in this context, my only interest to SADHANA, HONOM etc to the correct path...I am very much eager to choose the spiritual practice as well, but afraid of choosing any wrong direction... best regards, Biswajit , " mahalaxmyey " <mahalaxmyey wrote: > > I think you find our which god your mind is attacted to > that is your ishta devata > that is very easy > if you like ganesa then ganesha or > if you like SHiva then Shiva > > , " biswa108 " <biswa1975@> wrote: > > > > Namaste Guruji > > > > Dear Narasimha Ji, > > > > you have been always my inspiration and to follow your teachings on astrology and spiritual path, but there are lots of un-answered questions in mind, as resides far from you, have no direct communication with you (if bothered!), increasing day by day...my only way to find answers and increase knowledge is to follow your posts... > > > > there is no direct guidance to follow a specific way for me...i am assuming what is happening to me is to be happened! its may be pre-programmed for my life cycle...as i am searching my ISHTA DEVATA, nobody helping me to find him/her out...this is the least necessities for atleast a direct answer... > > > > DOB: 5th June, 1975 POB: Calcutta, TOB: 06.04 AM > > > > best regards, > > Biswajit > > > > NB: I have noticed some strange combination as follows... > > 1. my LAGNA LORD MERCURY becomes ATMAKARAKA > > 2. my 12th from D20 is GEMINI is empty, there is no aspect on it > > > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 24, 2009 In my personal experience the day you are born counts. For eg: If you are born on Monday Shiva god helps you, Tuesday Ganesha or Vishnu and so on . I am born on Friday I have seen my prayers give result when I pray Lakshmi or Durga goddess. My sister is born on tuesday and praying Ganesha god has helped her. Hope this helps !

Guest guest Report post Posted September 24, 2009 Namaste, Two points... (1) My definition of ishta devata is the specific deity for whom one has done the most intense sadhana in the past. If one does sadhana for the same deity, one progresses and achieves quickly. However, as I maintain always, our understanding of astrological formulas is imperfect. It is not at all easy to figure out the ishta devata from the horoscope. Though there are guidelines from rishis, our understanding of those guidelines is imperfect. A sadguru will be able to give you better guidance in this matter than an astrologer. I say it confidently despite being an astrologer who studied various ancient and modern Jyotish authors and experimented a lot. (2) Not knowing the specific form with which one has a strong connection is not as big a hindrance as one may think. If one is not sufficiently pure to start with, worshipping the correct deity does not magically make one realized. It will still take a very very long time. On the other hand, if one is sufficiently pure already, other deities will guide one towards ishta devata automatically. Searching for ishta devata is not like searching for a lost object. A deity is intelligent unlike a lost object and a deity can pull you towards him/her, if you have an intense desire to make spiritual progress and start making progress. After all, a mother or father may play hide and seek with a child for a while, but they will not hide for too long if the child is lost and confused and unable to find the hiding parent! If you learn to be like an innocent and helpless child and if you have a genuine desire to make spiritual progress, your ishta devata will automatically pull you towards him/her. So I say that one should not worry too much about such things or run around astrologers whose knowledge is imperfect or sometimes downright incorrect. Pray to whichever deity you feel like praying to and work on your attitude. Surrender to that deity. You will be sown your path. * * * Having said that, my educated *guess* is that Vishnu will suit you. Probably Lakshmi Narasimha.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 25, 2009 Om Namo Narayanaya Dear Biswajitji, You are right. Your Lagna lord is also AK ie planet Mercury. AK is in Kanya rasi in D9, again in own house and exalted. As per the Sages and SJC , it is seen that planet Venus is posited in Simha the 12th from AK amsa. Hence Goddess Mahalakshmi is your Ishta DEvata(ID. May God bless you Regards, Mohana rangan.T.V.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 26, 2009 Namaste, Dear Mohana Ranganji, I was a bit surprised when I read your reply that our charts can also say who our Ishta Devata is? I am a ardent devotee of Maa Kaali and she has been the source of my strength in my life. Now a doubt has been created in my mind and I treat doubt as a cancer which needs to be eradicated . Hence I seek your advice to know who is my Ishta Devata ? Am I worshipping the right Devata to maximise Her Grace on me. My birth details are DOB : 26th March'64, TOB : 8.30 AM, POB: Madras. From my Natal Chart I notice that my Lagna Lord is Mars and Venus is AK who occupies Mesha(lagna) along with Jupiter. In D9, I notice that Venus is with Saturn in Dhanu. Being a beginner who has just started to learn astrology from the basics, you detailed reply will enable me to analyse and find the Ishta Devata for the other sample horroscope used for my studies based on the way you analyze my chart. Thanks for your time and help in advance. Jai Maa Kaali Warm Regards, Devbrato Sarkar "Wealth is not just about making the money BUT making the MAN while he is making money".--- On Fri, 9/25/09, mohanarangan_tv <mohanarangan_tv wrote: mohanarangan_tv <mohanarangan_tv Re: ISHTA DEVATA?
