Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Hi Rohiniji, I came across a few messages where you have discussed Ishta Devata ...I would like to know what happens if the plant that signifies Ishta Devata is either exalted or debilitated?? I have Mars signifying Ishta Devata exalted in Capricorn (in navamsa lagna) but a friend of mine has Mars as Ishta Devata debilitated in Cancer (sixth house from navamsa lagna). What would be the difference?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 You are asking the wrong person :-) I was questioning the concept of ishtadevta and how to fit so many in so few (indicators). Someone else, I forget which member it was (search through the messages, please) who was claiming that he used the 12th from karakamsha many many times (presumably successfully) and may have some research/proof to share. I don't recall reading any more details other than that.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I think someone quoted an article by Sanjay Rath. If you have his translation of Jaimini sutras it is there early on. I gave reference in one of my messages recently, I think it was page 48 or 49 if I remember correctly. , "parvatishankar" <parvatishankar> wrote: > Oops! sorry for troubling u:) i've even checked the net for info and > couldn't find it... > > , "rohiniranjan" <rrgb@s...> > wrote: > > You are asking the wrong person :-) > > I was questioning the concept of ishtadevta and how to fit so many > > in so few (indicators). > > > > Someone else, I forget which member it was (search through the > > messages, please) who was claiming that he used the 12th from > > karakamsha many many times (presumably successfully) and may have > > some research/proof to share.
