Dear Mr. Shindi,

My 2 cents on this.

Ishta Devata is seen from the 12th from Karakamsa, means navamsa rasi of AK

planet.

- If there is a planet in 12th from Karakamsa, then take the pratyadi devata

of that particular planet.

- If not, take the strongest planet having rasi dhrishti to that rasi.

- If no rasi dhrishti also, then take the rasi lord.

Hope it helps.

Regards

Ravi Nair

Thanks Dharmesh for your lucid description of the concept. But in one

of Lectures of PVR Rao I came to know that your Ishta devta is decided from the

lagna of your Shashthyamsa chart(d-60) . So there is an ambiguity because of

this.

Re: [vedic astrology] Ishta Devta Devi

Well as per the psychology basically the 'samskar' given by parents to progeny

are 'Archetype' with which you are born and brought up. In case of hindu

religion there were several 'Rishis', who used to worship one god. And the

'Gotra' generally is the name of that 'Rishi' to whose pedigree one belongs to.

Even there are 'Gotras' available from the names of Kings of that time. These

gotras are regardless of any caste. As the caste system came after 'Manu' but

Ancient times witnessed several Rishis and Kings (Head of the tribes) too. So

this way the 'Rakshas' were also belonging to different tribes. And used to

worship ne God. Later the people were divided based on 'Isht'. For example

'Vaishnav' who worshipped Lord Vishnu' and 'Shaiv' who worshipped Lord Shiva and

there were people who worshipped 'Shakti' also. This separated people. Otherwise

truely in any religion there is one supernatural power who should be the 'Isht'

ideally say 'Krishna' while talking to Arjuna showed

his 'Virat swarupa' letting him realise that he is the one who is controlling

universe hence influencing every activity in the universe which is well pre

calculated.

Any way you must be taught since childhood by your parents that 'So and So'

should be worshipped everyday without negligence and should be offered share

from food and so on... That must have fixed up some imaginary image in your

brain and you must remember him/her at anytime you feel.

Re: [vedic astrology] Ishta Devta Devi

Can we have a discussion on this ....

Our chart says that if we worship a particular swarupa then it would be

beneficial for us.

Now if Ishta Devta concept comes with reliability which comes over a period of

time, so is it necessary that the person be told in his childhood to whom to

worship. Because the swarupa about whom a child

hears from his family more often starts to believe in him.

Dear Shindi,

Isht Devi/Devata is one on whome you rely more than you. I mean as such there

is no gender should be determined for the supernatural power that is controlling

universe. But since in all religions some 'swarupa' is assumed. And in Hindu

religion the people believed in representation of both the genders devata/devi

for everything whther material or 'moksha'. So among all these anyone whome you

consider most near to you is your 'Isht' without any bias for gender or name.

Hi all,

Can anyone explain to me the concept of Ishtadevta or Devi.

Is IshtaDevta the God or goddess to whom we pray naturally on our own liking

OR Is it the one according to our lineage I mean Gotra

OR according to our Kundali.
