Can you download info from the site and send it to me offlist? (I'd ask for a link to <Veda>, but there's still no guarantee this computer could access the site.) Oh, send the List a link to <Veda> anyway. Vedic astrology has means of determining your <ishtadevata> (favorite deity). Do you know your Vedic chart? What's on your 5th house cusp, and what planets -- if any -- are contained within that house? The Fifth House rules what you love. (I'm an astrologer, studying both Western and Vedic systems.

It sounds like you would want a custom-made <murti>, specifically "Ardhanareshvari" (the Lady who's half-male"). There are artisans in Nepal (the Newari people) who can do custom work, but it's expensive... Compare the other traditions of "half-and-half" deity images. There's Hari-Hara, when Shiva and Vishnu merged to show that both energies are at root the same. Shiva is still on the right (as "top"?), Vishnu is on the left (as "bottom"?). There's also a half-Ganesha, half-Hanuman, and Ganesha is at right, Hanuman at left (despite Hanuman's being much more "butch" than Ganesha...). If **I** were to get a custom-made <murti>, I think I'd like a "Hari-Hara Shakti." The consorts of Shiva and Vishnu, merged, i.e.: Lakshmi on the right side, Kali on the left side (so the appropriate spouses line up if consorting with a traditional Hari-Hara).

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Hiya, I am just going over posts that I have not had a chance to check. This seems very interesting with the ishtadevata. Would you be willing to find mine out as well or know of where I could go to find this out ? Have the best day ever.
