Why I was not drawn to my Ishta-Devata during AK dasha?

[Guest guest]

Dear respected Gurujis and members,

 

After following discussions on AK in the recent past, I came to know

that a person is drawn to one's Ishta-Devata during the dasha of AK.

Also, I read that the dasha of AK is almost invariably difficult.

 

I ran the whole of my Atmakarak Mercury's dasha. I came to know

recently that Rahu being 12 to my Karakamsha in Navamsha, indicates

my Ishta-Devata to be Durga.

 

True to what is said in the discussions, my Atmakaraka dasha had been

very difficult initially, but turned to predominantly happy after a

point (starting 1994 till the end of AK dasha, though with some

setbacks). But at the time it was very difficult, I was motivated to

worship Lord Venkateshwara than any other deity.

 

Even to this day, I like Lord Vishnu (and Ganesh) better than any

other deity.

 

If Sri Durga is my Ishta-Devata, why was I never motivated to pray to

her during my AK dasha and have never felt like it, until now, when I

explicitly know Durga is my Ishta-Devata?

 

Also, why is praying to Ishta-Devata as per Jyotish is important and

not a deity that someone chooses himself/herself?

 

My dob: 31st October 1971, 2:26:55 PM, Madras.

 

Please let me know why praying to Goddess Durga is more important

than other deities for me, and why I like Vishnu and Ganesh more.

 

Thanking you,

Dear Jayshree,

Venkateswara as in in Tirupati Balaji is said to be form of Varaha

Avatar. Which is Vishnu avatar for the graha Rahu. So maybe you were

seeking you Ishta in a different forms. Not everybody seeks the ishta

in the same form, some may not even seek. Depending on circumstances

like persons religion, planet placement etc it can vary.

Warm Regards

Dear Jayshree,

 

In your navamsa, Rahu in the 12th from Karakamsa is hemmed between

Saturn and Mercury, two planets who show Vishnu. If the planet

showing ishta devata has a 2nd/12th or 5th/9th kartari (scissors)

from Saturn and Mercury, the planet is likely to show Vishnu and his

incarnations, rather than other deities.

 

So Rahu with 2nd/12th kartari from Satunr and Mercury shows a form of

Vishnu rather than Durga. Rahu represents Varaaha avatara (boar

incarnation) of Vishnu.

 

In Kali Yuga, Lord Venkateswara or Balaji represents Varaha. Thus,

your attachment to Him makes perfect sense. You can continue to

worship Venkateswara.

 

Secondly, you should use Lagna Vimsottari dasa. It will give better

results than the normal Chandra Vimsottari dasa in your case. There

are more planets in quadrants from lagna than from Moon. That's why.

 

So it was not the latter part of Mercury dasa that was good for you.

It was the Saturn dasa that was good for you. While Jupiter is a

functional malefic in the 12th from AL and occupying A6 and A8,

Saturn is lagna lord in a quadrant and a malefic occupying the 6th

from AL! Saturn dasa is good.

 

However, Vimsottari dasa is hardly the correct dasa for seeing the

spiritual inclination at a given time. Look at Drigdasa. Drigdasa of

Capricorn with Rahu in it (1991-1999) is good for material focus, but

not really for spiritual focus. Doesn't really matter if you are

running the Vimsottari dasa of AK or ishta then; spiritual

inclination will not be high. The light (direction) of God (i.e.

Drigdasa) is consumed by the dark force of Rahu, who wants material

gains. Current Aries dasa (1999-2009) aspects lagna, A5 (mantra pada)

and Jupiter. It can give a spiritual inclination, practice of mantras

and good direction from gurus. Especially Cancer contains Ketu and

its lord is in 12th from Aries (dasa sign). So Cancer AD in Aries

dasa (Feb-Dec 2003) is good for spiritual awakening. Thus Drigdasa

shows events in spiritual life better than Vimsottari dasa.

 

Gotta go back to work now...

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha

Dear Shri Narasimhaji,

 

Thankyou very much for the clarification on the Ishta-Devata. It was

very surprising to hear that Lord Venkateshwara signifies Rahu as you

and Mr. Sanjay Prabakaran had both explained. I do now remember there

is a Bhoo-varaha Swami temple at the upper Tirupathi near the river.

You were also so right that during the time span since 1991 - 1999 I

was not spiritual, just with a small change in the dates - since

1993 - 2001, instead of 1991 - 1999. Also I'm very curious to know

how to find the Vimsottari dasha from Lagna instead of Moon - I was

eager to brush aside my Moon Vimshottari of Ketu currently going on

and launch yoga-karak Venus's dasha but now it seems I'll be running

a course of my Atmakarak Mercury instead (again!). May I request you

to kindly let me know how the dates of Lagna Vimshottari dasha, if

possible?

 

Thanking you,

 

Jayashree

Namaste Narasimha,

 

As per my recent discussions with Sudharsan ji on the isthadevata in

my case, Mars is my atmakaraka, placed in navamsa of Cancer. In 12th

to Karakamsa (ie., Ge) is Ra/Ve aspected (rasi dristi) by Ju/Mo in

Vi.

 

Ra is the stronger of the two (Ve is debilitated in rasi chart),

also exalted in Ge as per Sanjay's teachings and therefore Sri

Durga, represented by Ra, should be the isthadevata. But Sudharsan

ji advised that Ra, being in a sign of Mercury, Sri Varahamurthi

should be taken as the Isthadevata.

 

Based on your explanation, I understand that a strong influence of

Sa/Me on Ra indicates Sri Varahamurthi than Sri Durga. Retrograde Sa

in Aries has third aspect on Ra but again I understand that only

rasi dristi is to be considered.

 

Please confirm whether Sri Varahamurthi is indeed the correct

Isthadevata for me (more important because I am currently running Ma

AK MD!) and if correct, also advise me on any suitable mantras

(English version) that may be recited for Sri Varahamurthi.

 

To complete the navamsa picture, Me is in Cp lagna, Su in Ar and Ke

in Sg.

 

regards

Hari

Namaste Hari,

 

Exalted planets usually don't show female deities.

 

In any case, don't worry too much. Even if you are not worshipping the correct

form, eventually you will be led to the correct form when your karma ripens

enough!

 

Sudharsan is quite learned. He would've considered all the factors before

advising you. If you want me to take a look anyway, I can. But it will be

necessary to take a stock of all the influences on Gemini to give a good

advice. If you give your birthdata, I may be able to help. Just enclose the

birthdata as text and don't attach the jhd chart. I don't get mails from this

list to my mailbox (that'd clutter my mailbox) and I read them off the web.

Currently, quarantines all attachments and does not store them in the

archives. So, even if you send an attachment, I'll not be able to see it.

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha

 

PS: Jayashree, Sureshbabu has given your lagna Vimsottari dasa calculations. You

just use lagna's longitude instead of Moon's. But notice that lagna Vimsottari

is far more sensitive than Chandra Vimsottari. If the birthtime changes by 5

minutes, Chandra Vimsottari dasa dates will change only by less than a month.

But lagna Vimsottari dasa dates can change by a couple of years if the

birthtime changes by 5 minutes! Thus, you need to correctly rectify your

birthtime using the events from your past life and lagna Vimsottari dasa. Then

only you can make correct predictions. If you post some events, some people on

the list like Suresh Babu may be able to help you with the rectification.

Namaste Narasimha,

 

> Exalted planets usually don't show female deities.

 

Very profound statement. I guess this sort of settles the doubt I

had. But this raises another question: what can exalted planets show

in general when considering the determination of isthadevata or

other forms of devatas?

 

> In any case, don't worry too much. Even if you are not worshipping

the correct form, eventually you will be led to the correct form

when your karma ripens enough!

>

 

Again very profound. My Ma AK MD started in March 2002 roughly. Till

now I havent started worshipping the Isthadevata directly but three

incidents sort of steered me in this direction. First was joining

this group and learning about Sanjays teachings on Atmakaraka and

determination of isthadevata (circa Sep'02). Second was landing at a

house whose family has been worshipping Durga for generations and

seeing a huge idol of Durga Mata. The head of that house also gave

me a book containing English translations of various prayers in

honour of Durga. Third incident was Sudharsan pointing out that Rahu

could also be considered as Sri Varaha murthi. And now, your mail in

answer to Jayashree's question! Would you say that my karma is

Dear Narasimhaji and respected members,

 

Sureshji, thank you very much for the lagna Vimsottari chart.

 

I have a basic question - does the Ashtaka-Varga strength of chandra-

lagna vs. the lagna play any role in determining which is stronger?

(ie apart from planets occupying quadrants). This I'm asking with

regards to the dasha sequence to use, ie from lagna or Chandra lagna.

If I check my chart, my chandra-lagna has much higher Ashataka-Varga

bindus than the lagna (lagna - 27, Chandra-lagna - 32).

 

The reason I'm asking this question is because, exactly from the time

my Ketu dasha as calculated from Chandra Vimsottari began (Jan 2001),

I'm facing a major setback with regards to career, and have been ever

since going through various stages of disappointment, discouragement,

astrological interest, anxiety, increased interest in religion and

what not, for more than 2 yrs now. This fits with Ketu dasha scheme,

as my Ketu is in 6th house from lagna, isn't it?.

 

Kind Mrs. Laurie Harbour, SJC student and astrologer had rectified my

chart earlier, and I would like to express my sincerest thanks to her

for doing so, ie on this forum. She also went through events in my

life after she rectified my birth time from 2:35 PM to 2:26:55 PM

using Kunda, Pranapada and also D-108, and the events from Chandra

Vimsottari all fit really well with this time of 2:26:55 pm.

 

Can you kindly let me know if inspite of (not having planets in

Kendra to Moon) against (having 4 planets in Kendra to lagna), if

there are chances that Chandra Vimsottari would still be correct in

my case, owing to the Ashtaka-Varga strength and also Chandra-Lagna

being aspected by lord of that Lagna - Jupiter? Also Ketu, Jupiter

and Venus are in trines to the Chandra lagna.

 

Thanking you,

 

Jayashree

calculations. You just use lagna's longitude instead of Moon's. But

notice that lagna Vimsottari is far more sensitive than Chandra

Vimsottari. If the birthtime changes by 5 minutes, Chandra Vimsottari

dasa dates will change only by less than a month. But lagna

Vimsottari dasa dates can change by a couple of years if the

birthtime changes by 5 minutes! Thus, you need to correctly rectify

your birthtime using the events from your past life and lagna

Vimsottari dasa. Then only you can make correct predictions. If you

post some events, some people on the list like Suresh Babu may be

able to help you with the rectification.

As SanjayP answered, ashtakavarga does not apply.

 

Moon shows mind and the individual's reactions and lagna shows the

individual's actions. Moon and lagna form one's interface with the

world. Lagna shows what you do in the world and Moon shows how you

look at the world and react to it. Both are important.

 

Planets in quadrants from a reference support it. If Moon is

supported by more planets, then mind is more active and reactions

more prominent. If lagna is supported by more planets, then

individuality is more active are actions more prominent. Vimsottari

dasa from both lagna and Moon applies to all, but one is more

prominent than the other.

Are you saying that Ketu in 6th is a bad placement? Please read

standard texts on it.

 

Especially in dasamsa (D-10), Ketu is the 5th lord from lagna and

occupies the 5th from AL. How can his dasa bring setbacks in career?

He can bring sickness and anxiety (8th from AL in rasi), but will

also give material success and success in career.

 

Sun is debilitated in badhaka sthana from lagna, 8th from Moon and

6th from dasa lord Saturn. In dasamsa, he is in badhaka sthana from

dasa lord Saturn. It must be Saturn-Sun antardasa that brought the

troubles. The anxiety has to do with Sun occupying the 8th from

Saturn and 6th from lagna in D-30. Interest in astrology has to do

with Sun being the 5th lord from Saturn in D-24 and occupying the 4th

from Saturn with exalted Jupiter (9th lord from Saturn). Moreover, it

helps that Jupiter's Moola dasa started a couple of years ago.

Jupiter is with Mercury in D-60 and probably well-placed from lagna

(we need rectification) showing good past karma that will give you

Jovian knowledge now, in his Moola dasa.

We sometimes come across border situations and have to make tough

calls. That is not the case in your chart. Your chart is a clear case

of lagna dominating over Moon.

 

Go through the events and dasas carefully and rectify.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Dear Jayashree,

Also there is Varaha Murty in Tirupaty itself and either you can first go to see

Varaha Murty or after the Darshana of Lord Venkateshwara.But without the

Darshana of Sri Varaha Murty,your Tirupaty piligrimage will be zero.

I hope this helps you.

Dear Narasimhaji,

 

Please call me Jayashree without ji . Based on what you have

stated, I tried to use some logic to see when the backlog on career,

intiated by Sun under Saturn may likely clear. I get the following if

I think that favorable atmosphere could be of Mars's under Saturn:

 

1. Mars being the lord of Aries, Sun's exaltation sign, and placed in

Kendra on lagna, participates in removing Sun's debility.

Additionally, Mars being in Kendra both to Saturn, the planet that

gets exalted at Libra as well as to Venus, the lord of Libra,

participates in also giving neech-banga raja-yoga.

 

2. Mars is the 10th lord, also placed in A10 as well as A4 in Rasi.

The Arudha-padas do not differ in Rasi, be the time is 2:26:55 PM or

the unrectified 2:35 PM.

 

3. Though Mars maybe a malefic aspecting another malefic and

dasha/lagna lord Saturn, still due to being lord of Kendra, the

aspect of Mars on Saturn, and Saturn on Mars is good in some ways.

 

4. Saturn the dasha-lord aspects his own house of Aquarius where Mars

is placed and A10, A4 get placed.

 

5. To Saturn, Mars is in 10, and to Sun, Mars is in 5. Mars maybe 12

to Moon, but it is this fact which cancels the likelihood of Kema-

druma to Moon, as 2nd to Moon is vacant.

 

6. In Navamsa, Mars is the dispositor of debilitated Saturn, and

constitutes Parijatha-Yoga (Lagnesh debilitated in navamsa, and the

dispositor of the dispositor of Lagnesh in Rasi - Mars the dispositor

of Venus, lord of Taurus where lagnesh Saturn is placed - is placed

in a trine in Navamsa, thus giving Parijatha Yoga). Also the navamsa

lord of the rasi's 10th lord is Mars in own house, Mars as placed in

navamsa has some significance to profession.

 

7. In Dasamsa, Mars is in 12 to Saturn, however in one way, though

not considering mool-trikona, Mars is 8th lord to Saturn placed in 12

and hence may have some Vipareeta Raja-Yoga effect.

 

8. The subsequent Rahu bhukti under Saturn seems to favor this

thought since in Dasamsa, Rahu the co-lord of Aquarius is in Aquarius

and 11 to Saturn, and by the notion that a well-placed Rahu in 11 is

good for material gains, with respect to Saturn dashanath, Dasamsa

Rahu's placement favors income/gains.

 

Transit wise: Saturn which now hovers over Gemini that has lowest

ashtak-varga of only 22 will move to Cancer, that has a good

ashtakavarga of 31 by the time Mars bhukti begins (ie going by

2:26:55 PM), and Saturn is good in 6 to lagna. Jupiter which is

currently over Leo and 6 to Moon will move to Gemini that is 7 to

Moon also by the time it is Mars bhukti.

 

Narasimhaji, can I kindly request you to see if these are correct

thoughts?

 

Thanking you,

 

Jayashree

Dear Suresh Babu ji,

 

Having heard high-opinions about you as you're aware from Shri

Narasimhaji, I really wish to know the rectified time of my birth, as

I think it may even be easier due to the fact it most likely hovers

between 2:26 PM and 2:35 PM (recorded time). As you might be aware,

the 2:26:55 PM is very satisfactory, however when using Vimsottari

from Moon, but as stated by Narasimhaji, may not be accurate,

especially for use with Lagna Vimsottari. I am really well aware that

it is still a tedious process, but should you find time favorable

both with regards to quality/quantity, may I request to please send

me an email, so I can forward all pertinent details to you?

 

Thankyou and with warm regards,

 

Jayashree

[Guest guest]

Dear Narashima

 

I was reading your response.

 

You brought up the topic of Lagna vimshattori vs Chandra Vimshattori.

 

Does it not make superficial sense to judge chandra vimshattori periods by

making the sign/house that chandra owns as lagna?

 

So for example if a native had Pisces lagna but moon was in Leo. Sun is a

functional malefic for pisces but a benefic for Leo. So if chandra

vimshattori chart is cast then the sun period will be good as opposed to bad

(as we would currently interpret it).

 

Or are the classics unanimous that for vimshattori the periods must be

judged from lagna regardless.

 

Best wishes

 

Kasim
