Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 Dear Narasimha, In my own chart, saturn is atmakaraka, and 12.from it is ruled by rahu and saturn. Saturn is in yuti with ketu as atmakaraka. Six house from amatyakarak is ruled by venus and aspected by jupiter, mercury... I was initiated into transcendental meditation in mercury mahadasha and mercury antara, pratyantara of venus. I cannot disclose the meaning of mantra, but this principle works. Apart from Shri Vishnu, on my room wall, facing the east, there are pictures of Shri Lakshmi, Shri Hanuman and Shri Ganesh..Just to add some weight on this principle, Warm regards, Zoran Narasimha Rao wrote: > Dear Sarat, > > [i am cross-posting your excellent lesson to vedic astrology > group also.] > > > Take your D-9 chart and look for the sign in which your > > Atmakaraka is > > disposited.
