Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Narasimha ji, Regarding Ista Devata analysis, does the placement of planets in Dual (Vishnu) Rasis influence their indications for a Deity? On the same line, would the placement of the Sun and Moon in Virgo and Saggitarius aspecting the 12th from Karakamsa be inferred as Lord Rama and Lord Krishna(as opposed to Lord Shiva and Shree Ambika) influencing the native in his choice of Ishta.I was wondering about the influence of the Rasis in this regard.Thank you in advance.

Thus your> istha devata is Lord Shiva.The 12th from karakamsa stands for moksha. Its strongest occupant or lord shows ishta, i.e. the deity who will grant moksha. Rasi aspects on it show deities who help in the final goal. So Shiva is not the ishta. He is an intermediate deity whose worship will take the native to ishta.Scorpio is empty. So take lords Mars and Ketu for the lord. The stronger lord gives the easier, but longer, path to moksha. The weaker lord gives the more difficult, but shorter, path to moksha. If the native is really keen on moksha, take the weaker lord. It is Ketu.The 6th from AmK has Moon, a saattwik planet. So use the sattva beeja - sreem.Ketu can show Ganesa. Ketu in Leo specifically shows Lambodara. So the following mantra can be used:Om Sree Lambodaraaya NamahAs this mantra has 9 letters, the effect of this mantra will mainly go into Virgo (9th house in rasi chart). He will find a good guru and excellent spiritual direction once he starts doing this mantra.However, final moksha is granted by only Vishnu. So the following mantra can be read for Matsya (fish incarnation of Vishnu):Om Sreem Matsya Devaaya NamahThis again has 9 letters. This mantra will also take him to a guru, who will correct any mistakes in his approach.For Ketu, one can also use the Veda Murthi form. Ketu has 4 Veda Murthi forms. In Leo, the form is Markata Mukha, who rules over Atharva Veda. If you know the mantra for Markata Mukha, you can use it. You may also just pray to Hanuman.All the 3 alternatives above are fine. They will take the native to moksha in their own way.> I have not yet learnt about D-20, but will try to attempt it.The 5th in D-20 shows the deity that one is attracted to. But ishta is still shown by the 12th from karakamsa in navamsa.First check if D-20 is accurate. With a little downward change in the birthtime, the D-20 lagna moves from Li to Vi. If it is Li, the 5th has Rahu and Ketu. Rahu is strong being in his own sign. This could show Durga. Ketu could show Ganesa. Or both could show a Sarpa devata. However, if lagna is Vi, the 5th has Mercury aspected by Moon and it could show Vishnu or Tripura Sundari.> The 5th house in D-20 shows the Bhakti Marga.
