Namaste Rema,

Hare Rama Krishna, Namaste Sanjay,When you say, Lack of understanding of Ishta; doesthat mean you don't recognize Him or not worship Him?

Yes you can worship Ishta, Bhakti is also part of understanding. Our

worship is Just an attempt get near Ishta. Japa, Bhakti, Life

everything needs to be related to Ishta is my understanding. The Ishta

devata can have deeper impact in all aspects of life.

 

Since Ketu is the lord of Sc in Rashi by virtue ofbeing with Jup, does he cease to be the lord of Sc in

navamsa by being with the AK. I have this one more question, I have my AK(moon inSg) and Amk (jup in Gem) vargottam. Sc, becomes theIshta denoting rashi and also palana devatha denotingrashi.And both I thought were Ganesha. Now is there any

rider that says both Ishta and palana cannot be thesame?

 

No, I dont think There are such riders, 6th is for Bala whose lack

gives six weakness, The Palana devata thus protects. Ishta and Plana

being same could be good. But for such person the moment they go

against the Ishta they will get into weakness too.

Understand Palana by 6 strenght and weakness (Shadripu). When good it gives Victory due to favour of Mother who rides the lion.

 

Worshipping Ganesha is good for you, Worship of any diety is good is my

point. But we have to understand the Ishta better as one progress is

the point I am trying to make. 12th house is also for giving, When the

person get closer to Ishta the person can give something related to

Ishta devata to the world also. Like take the case of Ramakrishna

Paramahamsa, His Ishta is Saggitarius, One of the greatest gift of his

is Sg lagna Swami Vivekananda, Jupiter as the Lord of Sg with Sun

denotes his Vedanta philosopy. Worship of kaali by Ramakrishna was done

because Jupiter was with Saturn in Navamsha. But the Actual gift to

world was Vedanta philosophy thru swami Vivekananda.

Hare Rama Krishna,

Namaste Sanjay,

 

Thank you, Yes now you have made it clear for me.

 

I have this one more doubt, you wrote to Vishnu:

 

{You Ak is Sun, 12th Sc in D9 has two lords MArs being

conjoined Ak cannot take to Ishta. So it's Ketu the

other lord conjoined Jupiter!}.

 

does the planet conjoined the AK lose the lordship,

in navamsa, even if that planet was declared the lord

in rashi by the lordship rules?

 

Thanks, Rema

|| Hare Rama Krishna ||Dear Tijana, namaskar. The process of worship, adoration etc (in bhakti Marga) comes from 5th house. 12-th from karakaamsa (Jivanmuktaamsa) is to see what complemets the Atman's experiences so that it is disillusioned of Maayaa. Ishtadevata is the medicine, how you administer this medicine i.e. by a syringe or in form of capsule or liquid (i.e. the specifics of bhakti sadhana) is seen from 5th house in Rasi and Vimsamsa. The above is not really a nice example but hope it delivers some meaning.The word Ishta means that which is truely beneficial, and hence, by definition, cannot be inimical. The opposite word is anishta or harmful. Dont think about graha sambandhas in a mundane level. May be I didn't understand your question properly, hence requested you to give an example.Grahatva (and not grahatatva) is shed little by little. The specific rupa is dissolved little by little into infinity. In order to achieve moksha one cannot perceive God in a specific rupa. Hence, Sri Ramakrishna achieved nirvikalpa samadhi after mentally cutting his most adored Mother Kali's image into two. but even after coming down from samadhi he held Mother's rupa most endearingly. A graha ( indicator of Ishtadevata) indicates this rupa. The grahatva is shed completely at the end.Hope I am able to communicate my own thoughts. Please form your own thoughts based on all discussions, of course.Best Wishes,Sourav=======================================================================================sohamsa , "tijanadamjanovic" <tijanadamjanovic> wrote:>> Om Gurave Namah> I am sorry, but one more question arose.

|| Hare Rama Krishna ||Dear Tijana, Namaskar. No "Sir" just name is suffice, please. Please do not say trivial questions. These are very valid questions and must be asked and answered by self. But remember one thing, just logical answers are not sufficient, you have to be convinced somehow and that conviction comes through spiritual practice and devotion.If you want call it mercy or luck you can call it. In some traditions it is said that it you demand from God His vision, or if you long for it sufficiently strongly you can have it. In that case it is more like demand and supply that mercy. It is basically a different point of view. All boils down to the intensity of longing and purva karma. It is both a sport of God to hide from us and give us His vision, alike.Moksha is unthinkable to every bound soul. We just have a conceptual idea and put it into a word. What is at the end ? We dont really know. We just call it, like say its "x" ( in algebra). Just like that we call it moksha. Moksha literally means breaking a bond. In our philosophy, we think it as soul tied to experiences of maayaa and hence breaking this knot is thought to be the ultimate end of all experiences. Hence, basically, we really dont know what it is. Therefore there is no real difference between someone believing in moksha or not believing. Adoration of God means adoration of something higher that you. Hence, it basically purifies you. If you have sugar water and you boil off 10% of the water you have more sugar. Just like that. The idea is that we have the power to decide where we can go. We can go up or down; Mother Nature will always provoke us for activity and not let us be in equilibrium. Adoration of God is one of the ways (tried and tested) of going up. There are ofcourse other ways- each of which form a yoga path.It is difficult to say if adoration to God makes worldly life easy. It all depends on your past and present karma. Some people, after they adore God find difficult circumstances in life and keep telling themselves, " I am being tested by God for my devotion. I must keep on the path and not deviate from it". For them devotion develops further, present karma will be beneficial and path karma will gradually wane and eventually be mitigated. Holy Mother says if you intensely yearn for God, He/She will dissolve your painful karmic experiences. Now you have to see if you want to believe in it or not. I do. Some sadhakas say that under such circumstances, God, in order to give you the experience of pain of past bad karma, can give it in your dream so that it is done with quickly. There are many such thoughts. You will hear different stories from different people. Form your own conviction.Best Wishes,Sourav==========================================================================================sohamsa , "tijanadamjanovic" <tijanadamjanovic> wrote:>> Om Gurave Namah> Dear Sir, thank You for Your quick replay that shaped a new direction> to my thoughts.> I am aware that I am speaking about that what overcomes my capability> of understanding (Ista Devata) so I have to ask and I hope You don,t> mind my trivial questions.

Dear Guru Jis and Learned Members,Namaskar.Please excuse me for asking the question in the middle of the discussion. This discussion is very informative. The discussion so far is centered on traditional/puranic forms of Bhgawan Vishnu.However I feel that one aspect of worship is not taken into account. Many persons worship newer forms of the Vishnu (basically the whole world is the form of Vishnu) e.g. Ramakrishna Paramhans, Sai Baba, Satya Sai Baba, Ma Anandamayi etc. This has been happening since time immemorial. People turned towards say Buddha. How do we find that the native of the chart will follow traditional forms of worship or will take up worship of newer forms of the Almighty? When remedy is to be specified for certain reasons what can be said to such natives? If someone has faith on one aspect of the Lord it is difficult for him to turn towards other aspect of the Lord.Please give guidance.Thank you all, With warm

regards,RajendraSourav Chowdhury <souravc108 wrote: || Hare Rama Krishna || Dear Tijana, Namaskar. No "Sir" just name is suffice, please. Please do not say trivial questions.

*hare rama krsna*

 

Dear Raghunath , Namaskar

 

You follow Prasna Marga scheme which is more accurate for pratyadhi devata.

 

If we use Dasavatara scheme (used for Jeevanmuktaamsa Devata, Dharma

Devata), then Chandra is for Krsna, while Budha is for Lord Buddha or

Balabadra.

 

Mantra 'Om Namo Bhagavate Bhalabadraya' (4 malas) should be used if

Budha is stronger.

 

Also if planets are in kona to Navamsa lagna and have influence of Ketu

and are aspecting 12H from Ishta Devata - those Devatas should be

worshipped.

Om Gurave Namah

 

Namaste Rafal Ji.

 

Sorry, did not get a chance to read your message till now.

Excellent references you have made and I agree with your recommended

mantra also. But I would not give the Mantra in the public forum

rather give it to the person asking in private e-mail. The reason for

this is: if some one is reading this message, they may start reciting

the mantra on their own, instead of getting from a person who knows

about the mantra shastra principles. At the same time, I also respect

your view of giving the mantras in public forum too.

 

Regards

Raghunatha Rao
