Guest guest Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Dear Jaydeep, As I said I am just a student. Please call me Ramesh or Mr. Ramesh if you like. Attachment was in acrobat format. I am sending you key portion pasted on this mail. As mentioned earlier, an English version of BPHS is available in file section of Vedic astrology group. You can refer to that too. Best Regards Ramesh PS: Atmka Karka is the planet placed with highest degree (most advanced) in your chart, irrespective of the rashi of placement. Rahu moves in reverse direction. So to check its advancement its degree is deducted from 30. Ketu is not taken into consideration. Om Gurave Namah Lesson on Ista Devata by Sanjay Rath (September 2001) I have been getting a lot of mail regarding troubles and difficulties from students and others. It is necessary to tell you all that the root cause of our sorrow and happiness is the Ista devata which is seen from the Atmakaraka. Parasara says that the Atmakaraka is like a king in the horoscope and if the AK is benevolent, then all troubles vanish. How can we make the AK benevolent and how do we determine when He is happy? For this the first step is to determine the Atmakaraka and the Ista devata. Chara Atma Karaka Among the EIGHT Chara Karaka, the planet with the highest degree is the Atmakaraka. The sign/navamsa occupied by the Atmakaraka gives us a clue as to the desire of the Atma and the nature of the Atmakaraka gives us vital information about the nature of the Atma, its spiritual development etc. 1. If a malefic planet is the Atmakaraka, it indicates a high level of spiritual development whereas a benefic planet as the Atmakaraka indicates a relatively lower level. Example: Rahu was the Atmakaraka for Srila Prabhupada and Ramakrishna Paramhamsa. 2. The Atmakaraka, invariably indicates suffering during its Vimsottari Dasa, especially if a malefic. during the Narayana Dasa of the sign occupied by the Atmakaraka or those aspecting it, great achievements are made. If the native is spiritually inclined then the Dasa of the Atmakaraka can be beneficial. 3. A retrograde Atmakaraka indicates a deep rooted desire as being the cause of the birth. 4. Planets as Atmakaraka: 1. Sun as AK indicates the native has to learn to overcome his ego and should become humble. 2. Moon as AK indicates that the native should be very caring and compassionate. 3. Mars as AK indicates that the native should refrain from all forms of violence and stick to the path of Ahimsa. 4. Mercury as AK indicates that the native should control his speech and be truthful at all times. 5. Jupiter as AK indicates that the native should always respect the Guru, husband and care for children. 6. Venus as AK indicates that the native must have a very clean character and refrain from illegitimate sex/lust. 7. Saturn as AK indicates that the native should not give sorrow to others and will have to share the sorrow of many others. 8. Rahu as AK indicates that the native maybe cheated often and will still have to be free from guile and clean hearted. 5. Maharishi Jaimini has indicated the results of various navamsa for the placement of AK. Read this carefully and make a list for ready reference. 6. Results of AK in different houses from Navamsa Lagna: (Hint: Count the number of signs from AK to Navamsa Lagna, the number shall indicate the results of the house that shall predominate. check the strength of Karaka of such house; do this exercise both in Rasi and Navamsa Chart; Rasi chart results like that of Sri Krishna & other great persons while navamsa for all others.) 1. If AK is in Navamsa Lagna, the native belongs to a royal family/ is of noble birth and lineage. If Navamsa Lagna Lord conjoins AK, then the native, although of humble origin shall rise to a high rank equal to a king. If the AK aspects Navamsa Lagna, then Royal association shall be present from birth. The natural Karaka of 1st house (Sun) should be strong to indicate the extent of Rajayoga. 2. If AK is in 2nd house, the native shall be very spiritual and a great saint. If Saturn is strong, the renunciation shall be complete whereas if Venus is strong the native shall perform severe austerities. 3. If AK is in 3rd house, the native shall be rich and successful in many undertakings. He shall be a friend of many powerful people. 4. If AK is in 4th house the native shall be a Karma Yogi. if the moon and Jupiter are strong, he shall have fame whereas if the Sun is strong Rajayoga and a strong Saturn indicates a hard working person. 5. If AK is in 5th house the native is Dharma Parayana i.e. obeys the laws of his Dharma diligently and is straightforward. if the sun is strong, he shall have many good yogas. Blessings of his father shall always protect him. 6. If AK is in 6th house, the native is diseased and troubled. Propitiate as per Saturn or Lord Satya Narayana, fast on full moon days and speak the truth OM TAT SAT. 7. If AK is in seventh house, the native is blessed with a clean heart and many joys. If Venus is strong, marriage shall be a great blessing. 8. If AK is in 8th house, the native has many troubles and weaknesses. He is defeated in war. Propitiate as per Saturn or Lord Satya Narayana, fast on full moon days and speak the truth OM TAT SAT. 9. If AK is in 9th house, the native is a very pious person and is wealthy and fortunate. 10.

If AK is in 11th house, the native shall be brave, successful in war and capable of executing any task. if Mars is strong there shall be Rajayoga. 12. If AK is in 12th house the native is very rich and blessed by Lakshmi. Ista Devata The Ista Devata is seen from the 12th house from the Karakamsa (i.e. the sign occupied by AK in Navamsa Chart). 1. If the 12th house is occupied by a planet, then this indicates the Ista devata; If more than one occupy, then the strongest shall indicate the Ista devata and if none occupy this sign, then the Lord of the sign shall indicate the Ista Devata. 2. Planets & Indications 1. If the Sun is Ista Shiva, Agni the fire God etc are indicated. 2. If the Moon is Ista, Gouri, Jala Devi etc are indicated 3. If Mars is Ista, Kartikeya is indicated 4.

If Rahu is Ista then Durga is indicated 9. If Ketu is Ista then Ganapati is indicated. 10. The native will also like to worship the avatar as per the teachings of Ista Devata by Parasara i.e. Sun-Rama, Moon, Krishna etc. This is also seen in the Vimsamsa. 3. The Karaka indicated by the Ista devata planet shall indicate the relation/person who shall lead the native to the Ista Devata. 4. The AK/Ista devata holds the key to a chart and it is important to have excellent relations with such people who are indicated by the Ista devata planet. - JAYDEEP KUMBHANI Ramesh F.

I request you to treat me like one. Karkamsa is the placement of Atma Karaka in Navmsa Chart. 12th from Karkamsa indicates Ishta Devta and 9th Dharma Devta. I am attaching an article by Sanjayji on the subject. Reading it may give you some insight. You may also like to refer BPHS. Both are posted on vedic astrology group website, file section.
