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

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

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 !

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.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

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.

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
