JAYA JAGANNATHA!

 

Dear Frank,

 

Namaste.

I have not read anywhere that the Atmakaraka represents the Ishta Devata. He

will show the

way to the Ishta devata, but the Ishta devata is represented by the 12th from

Karakamsha

(Navamsha of Atmakaraka)

No. There is one reference place for Ishta Devata (the goal of one's spiritual

life). This

is indicated by the 12th from karakamsha, as Atmakaraka will show the way

towards him,

Navamsha is the divisional chart for dharma, so we see the AK in Navamsha. The

12th house

is Moskatrikona. So we attain our Ista when we are liberated. And the 9th from

karakamsha

will indicate the Dharma Devata, who is the Deity helping in the spiritual

advancement of

the native in this life. So he may not be the ultimate goal, but his worhsip

will lead the

person along the way towards the Ishta.

 

And the Kula Devata is the family Deity, or the Deity worhsipped by the family

and

ancestors. It is seen from the 2nd in D-20.

 

If any of these houses are influenced by more than one planet, then the srongest

should be

considered, although the other planets present will also be felt during the

life. Also

speicific combinations here may indicate specific Deities.

 

Let's see your chart. Your Atmakaraka is Mercury. He is in Pisces navamsha with

ketu,

which is highly favourable for spirituality and Moksha. Atmakaraka in Pisces

Rasi or

Navamsha indicates Moksha. The 12th from it is Aquarius, ocuppied by Mars and

aspected by

the Sun. I would say that your Ishta-devata is Lord Siva (Rudra). I think that

the best

way for you is to worship a Siva-limgam in the Yoni-peetha symbolising Durga or

Parvati,

as Aquarius will indicated different form s of Shakti Ma. Of course the Sun is

in Cancer,

so to worship Siva as vaishnavaanam yathaa (a devotee of Krishna) will be the

most

beneficial. This si also strengthened by the significations of the 9th from

Karakamsha,

where Jupiter is positioned in Scorpio. Jaimini attaches Siva to Jupiter, but

also Vishnu

is taken often times. So he will be your Dharma Devata for this life. Therefore

I

recommend worhsipping both Vishnu and Shiva, as in most holy places in India is

done.

 

For Kula Devata the 2nd in D-20 is Gemini, containig Saturn. Of course in

western families

often times the parents are not religious, but then we could shift ti to the

community one

belongs to. Again Mercury and Saturn indicate Vishnu as Kula Devata.

 

Yours, Gauranga das

Dear Gauranga prabhu,and other respected Jyotisha Gurus,

Dandavat,Pranaam.

 

>>>Jaimini attaches Siva to Jupiter, but also Vishnu is taken often times.

>>>>Again Mercury and Saturn indicate Vishnu as Kula Devata.

 

Could you please help me determine my Ista Deva and Dharma Devata?

Venus in 12.th to Karakamsa could be Sri Radharani(Zoran has told me),but I

do not know who could signify Sani in Scorpio(9.th from Karakamsa).Maybe Sri

Koorma Dev?

Could it signify Sri Narasimha Dev also?Please clear my ignorance.

Do the aspects on 9th and 12th also add significance in determining Ista

and Dharma Devatas?

 

Thank You very much,

Sanjayji says that the strongest ifluencing planet will determine the Ishta. So

if you

have Venus there, that would indeed indicate Radha or Lakshmi. The other

ifluences, should

also be considered, as they will indicate other Deities that will influence your

life. We

could take Saturn as indicating Vishnu in this case I suppose. But the best

thing would be

to have your birht data so that we could have a deeper look on it.

Jaya Jagannath,

Dear Mayapura Prabhu,

 

Maharshi Jaimini uses the term " SAMBASIVA " for Jupiter and this is a direct

reference to GOD AS THE TEACHER. This can indicate SHIVA in the SAMBHU form.

In fact this indicates EVERY DEITY in the BRIHASPATI or Universal form. I

give you a list of such forms depending on the planetary influence coming on

Jupiter. Now, Parasara is also teaching in the same lines that Jupiter takes

you to Indra (and Indra means your ISTA DEVATA). Other texts also refer to

Jupiter taking you to the Dharma and Ista Devata as Jupiter rules the 12th

(Ista) and 9th (Dharma) of the natural Zodiac.

 

Sun: A strong Sun influencing such a Jupiter can indicate Sambhu or

Dakshinamoorty(Ista form), Vishwanatha (Dharma form). Sri Rama is the

Naisargika Dharma Roopa of Bhagawan also called Satya Narayana (Sadhu Roopa

Bhagawan i.e. the only form in which Bhagawan wore the dress of a

Sadhu/renunciate).

Moon: A strong influence of the Moon gives undying fame just like the

association of Krishna and Arjuna. The deity is Jagannath.

In this manner you should think...Mars (Balaram/Narasimhadeva), Mercury (Sri

Achyuta/Buddhadeva), Jupiter (Dattatreya/Sri Vamana/Guru's/Narada

Muni/Rishi), Venus (Hayagreeva/Parasurama), Saturn

(Doorvasa/Koormarupa)..etc.

 

Vishwaroopa is the direction for further thought.

I end here and ask your Guru Maharaj to explain further

Blessings

Thank you for the useful information.

 

I just noticed that Mayapur prabhu's biodata were attached to the letter in the

end. So

you have Atmakaraka Mars conjunct the Sun and Ketu in Pisces Navamsha. Excellent

Moksha-yoga. The 12tt from it is Aquarius having Venus there. The lord of

Aquarius is

Saturn so there is a connection between the Ishta Devata and Dharma Devata.

Venus is

aspected by Moon and Jupiter. Moons' aspect on Venus would indicate

Radha-Krishna

according to my understanding, and Jupiter's aspect on Venus I usually take for

Lord

Caitanya, as He is the universal teacher (Guru) and he appearx with the Bhava

and Dyuti of

Srimati Radharani.

 

Saturn as Dharma-Devata is again aspected by the Moon and Mercury, indicating

Krishna/Vishnu. Usualy Saturn points to some Ugra-devata (fierce form of

Godhead) which

the Vasihnavas worship in the form of Narasimha. Scorpio is also a sign that

could point

to him. So some worship of Narasimha may be there in your life. Sometomes we

could take

Saturn or Ketu as the planets of renunciation to point to Nara-Narayana or

Badrinarayana

also. Have you been there?

 

But ultimately, if we analyse the D-20 we see that Lagna is in Sagittarius

conjunct Moon,

so it clearly indicates a vaishnava. The 9th house is Leo with Jupiter and

Mercury,

indicating a Vaishnava Guru. Your Bhratrikarak is the Sun, so it definitely has

to occupy

an important place in your Guru maharaja's chart. The Guru's shishya-pada (A5)

usually

ocuppies the trines/opposite sign to his shishyas' Lagna. And his Lagna may be

in

trines/opposition to your A9 (Aries).

 

Yours, Gauranga das

Dear Gauranga Prabhu,

Jaya Jagannath

 

Excellent post. However, Maharshi Parasara has given Koormavatar to explain

the effect of Saturn and not Nrisimha. Kindly note this.

Jaya Jagannatha!!!

Dear Gurudev Sanjay Prabhu,

Thank you for again selfesly(as always) distributing your knowledge to us.

Does this refer primarily to Jupiter in Rasi chart or Jupiter in all(or

maybe specific-like navamsa and D-20) divisional charts(as guide to our

Dharma and Ista Devata)?

And is there any list or instruction how to perceive other planets similarly

aspected(looking in houses like 9th and 12th)?

Also please clear my ignorance on significance of Venus-when to perceive it

as feminine Deities and when as Hayagreeva/Parasurama...

Jaya Jagannath

Dear Dhira krishna Prabhu,

Since you asked the question about Ista, I thought of replying to you...if

some one else had asked, perhaps the answer would have been a shade

different. Moon does represent Krishna and Jagannatha is Krishna .. The

specific form for you is Jagannatha Mahaprabhu (try to answer why this form

instead of so many other forms. To do this you will have to list out all the

forms and then see hundreds of charts of devotees and make a list of planets

influencing the 12th from Karakamsa). WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THIS AS AN

ASSIGNMENT AND YOUR GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO THE CAUSE OF JYOTISH?

With Best Wishes,

Sanjay Rath
