Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 JAYA JAGANNATH Dear Sarajit, Gauranga has correctly pointed out your Ista Devata. Libra is a movable sign and is aspected by the three fixed signs Taurus, leo and Aquarius. Leo with Mercury represents your Ista Devata. Mercury represents Vishnu and in a solar sign can be either Sri Ram or the particular form of Sri Krishna as Jagannath. However, the time for this has not come and as advised by me earlier, you will have to wait till the entry of Jupiter in Gemini for your Mantra. Till then continue to worship the Divine Mother. I hope you are aware that there can be no easier path to Jagannath Krishna than through the Divine Mother (Moon). Todal Tantra is very clear about this. You will be surprised to know that Ramakrishna Paramhamsa & RK Mission belongs to the Parampara of Jagannatha Puri when Sri Ramakrishna worshipped Jagannath in all His forms of Bala-Gopala, Radha-Krishna & finally Jagannath. So powerful was his love during the Krishna Bhakti that his body gradually transformed into that of a female as he was becoming like Radha!! He lived with Bala-Gopala and has urged his disciples to ensure that they go to Jagannath and eat the Mahaprasad at Puri. That is why I always say that Puri is His earthly abode. All saints whether Adi Sankara or Ramakrishna Paramhamsa or Srila Prabhupada have said one thing in common...the Mahaprasad of Jagannatha is unmatched in the three worlds. It is the purest food that can ever be cooked. I too had to pass through the same process of cleansing and then going to Jagannath. I too have Mercury in Leo representing my Ista Devata. I too worshipped Kali and learnt the entire das Mahavidya and prepared myself for this knowledge. Thus, it is only a question of time. If you do not have a Spiritual guide at the moment, I will advise the folllowing for reading and proper understanding: (Don't just mug. Try to understand each word). 1. Kali Karpura Stotra (This is the highest for the Divine Mother) 2. Shiva Tandava 3. DakshinaMoorti stotra. Prepare yourself for Jagannath. Remember that in all these forms, it is He who guides the intellect and hence, He is the Guru. " OM KRISHNA GURU " .

Libra has a Rasi Dristi from Leo where Mercury is situated, as the fixed signs aspect all the cardinal ones except the one near them (Cancer in this case). So Mercury is the only planet in fixed signs in Navamsha (for the exception of Mars, but it won't aspect the 12th from him. The Deity related to Mercury is Lord Vishnu or Lord Jagannatha as well. Now let's see the D-20 for devotion: Lagna is in Capricorn, togehter with Jupiter. The 9th is Virgo (Mercury's sign) and here in Libra we find Mercury along with Saturn. So the most beneficial for you would be worshipping Krishna or Vishnu under a Vaishnava Guru. Although Moon is in Scorpio here, so your mind is attracted to worship of Devi, but you have to go further. Same thing in Rasi, Moon is in Scorpio with Rahu. This is the 12th in Rasi chart (4th from 9th or 9th from 4th). So this might be the worship inherited or learned from your parents, especially mother's line. Now you are in Venus Maha and Antar dasha, so it's a suitable time to find your Ishta-devata and connection with Him, as Venus is the lord of the 12th from Karakamsha. > > Dear Gurudeva, please corect me if I was wrong. > > Yours, Gauranga das > > > ------ > @Backup - The #1 Online Backup Service.
