[Jagannath] Again a question on Ishta Devata

[Guest guest]

Om Jaya Jaya Jagannatha Namamyaham

Dear Gauranga,

Sarat gave a nice answer, but I will clarify further on this. When you

choose a planet as Atmakaraka, we ONLY use the degrees in the RASI CHART.

Since in the navamsa, we are seeing the 12th house from the Atmakaraka, the

Yoga of the planet with the AK itself is ruled out. Thus the second source

of strength i.e. OWN LORD, or Jupiter or Mercury comes into play. Normally,

the path to the Ista Devata is not a direct one and the person first moves

around the subsidiary deities around the trines to the amsa Lagna and then

to the trines to the AK and finally to the 12th from the AK.

In any case, shoose the deity signified by one of the planets in the

12th from the AK. Choose strongest on the basis of nature of the sign and

planet. In case of doubt, use the Chara karakatwa of the rasi chart (here

degrees come into play).

Om Tat Sat

Best Wishes

[Jagannath] Again a question on Ishta Devata

> Last time in a letter about Ishta Devata I asked how to determine the

planet signifying Ishta Devata if there's mor of them in the 12th from

Karakamsha or aspecting it. I think Sarat answered that the strongest should

be determined on the basis of degrees. My questions:

>

> 1. Which on eis the strongest: the one which have progressed the most

degrees or the opposite?

> 2. Where should I look for the degrees: in the Rasi or in Navamsha Chakra?
