[Jagannath] Deity to show the direction to one's soul(karakamsh)

[Guest guest]

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
