Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Okay, hi everybody here, I'm reading Pt. Rath's Vedic Remedies in Astrology right now and I'm kinda stuck in some places, so I'm asking few questions and I hope all of you here can participate and help me clear this confusion: 1. Guru Devata Do you find Guru Devata from the Bhratrikaraka planet or from the ruler of the sign occupied by the Bhratrikaraka in Navamsha chart? Suppose, Moon is the Bhratrikaraka planet and occupying Capricorn in Navamsha, would the Guru Devata be related to Moon or Saturn? 2. Mantra Selection Now, Pt. Rath says that the mantra should have as many syllables as the natural signification is counted from Lagna for natural events, while in case of worldly events, then the mantra should have as many syllables counted from Lagna to the pada of the house concerned. In such a case, where would education fall? Now, knowledge and learning is related with the true self, isn't it? But, things like formal education (o/a levels, bachelor's, etc) aren't really related with our true self, now is it? So, would we base the mantra on the pada of the 4th house or the natural signification of education, Mercury? 3. Dasha Selection Okay, now Pt. Rath tells us that let's use the stronger of Lagna and Moon nakshatra to start the Vimshottari Dasha system for phalita matters, while the stronger of Lagna and Sun for ayur related matters. But, generally in his case studies, I've seen Pt. Rath use Vimshottari Dasha initiated from the Moon nakshatra. Why is this so? Is there anything else? Plus, the conditional Dashas are never used? I'm kinda confused here, so I'd really appreciate, if somebody could clear my confusion, especially the Gurus. By the way, I'd like to ask the Gurus here, what system to you follow. Do you check the stronger of the two (Lagna, Moon, and Sun) or you start straight from the Moon? 4. Gemstones Okay, now, according to Pt. Rath, we should choose the gemstone of functional benefic planets - lords of 1st, 9th, and 5th - in that order. And, he specially focuses on the gem stone of lagna lord because it's the driving force of our chart. But, now, will wearing the gemstone of the lagna lord for Taurus and Scorpio lagnas be beneficial because the lagna lords here Venus and Mars respectively have their mooltrikona sign on the 6th and 8th houses respectively? 5. Ishta Devata The planet in the 12th to the Atma Karaka in Navamsha guides us to our Ishta Devata. Now, suppose, let's say the planet is Saturn. How would we pick the exact deity there? As far as I know, Lord Shivaji, Rudra, Narayan, Bhairav, and Kali all are the presiding deities of Saturn. Is there any way we can pick the specific one, or is it that we can pick any of the deities? Yeah, so these are my questions....... I hope you guys can give me some knowledge about these aspects. Thanks so much!
