Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Namaste, In this case, you take the lord of Taurus. Venus shows ishta devata. Venus shows a female deity, but not a taamasik form like Durga or Kaali. Mahalakshmi is one possibility. Mother Amriteswari worshipped by Mata Amritanandamayi is a good fit too. Venus is the rishi of Amrita Mrityunjaya mantra and Amriteswari is perhaps shown by a combination of Venus and/or Moon.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Dear Narasimha, I do not think Amriteshwari is a form of Mahalakshmi. Mahattarayonitantra names the cosmic couple of Shiva and Gauri as Amriteshwara and Amriteshwari. Chandrashekhar. Narasimha P.V.R. Rao wrote: > Namaste, > > In this case, you take the lord of Taurus.
