[Hare Rama Krishna] Ishta devata

[Guest guest]

Om Gurave Namah,

Dear Gurudeva,

I am trying to regularly do the So-Ham Mantra. I have another question.

I have been reciting Gayatri Mantra since 1994 with Om Bhoorbhuvah swah prefixed.

I was given this mantra by a friend of mine. In Vedic Remedies you have given it

without the prefix. Can you please advice me as to which one I should recite.

 

I also have another matter to say to you, 2 months back (around June 1st)

one morning about 5:30 AM I recited Hrim mantra for 15minutes as suggested

by you in Vedic Remedies to know about my Ishta Devta. After two days

in the evening I think I saw a White somewhat glittering image with a tingling

feeling from my feet to my hip. The first name which came up in my mind was

Sarawathi. In My navamsa I have ketu full aspect and venus on 12th from

atmakaraka and 6th from amatya karaka. I take my ishta devata to be

Laxmi and Ganesha. Please give me your advice.

 

Your Shishya

Sanjay Prabhakaran

Om Gurave Namah----Dear Sanjay,

Yes.. Gayatri Mantra and mediate on the centre of the Solar disc with the mantra "SO-HAM". Mentally say "SO" as you breathe in and "HAM" as you breathe out. First do this very fast and then allow your breath to stabilise slowly. keep your eyes closed. Do not be afraid of the lights..With Best Wishes,Sanjay Rath

Om Gurave Namah,Dear Gurudeva, I have a similar combination of Lagnesh Sun conjunct Ketu in the 12th house. Sun is 2Cn21 and Ketu in 21Cn56 Jupiter is in 3Sc10. Sun is vargottama and Guru is exalted in Navamsha. Is the Sun strong enough to win from Ketu?. This conjunction is also in 2nd from AL with Mercury in it. Mercury is debilitated in Navamsha. I do have problem of mental disturbances and Irregular sleep problem(being in 12th house). But I thought them to because of Saturns Conjunction and Mars aspect on Moon. Is there any remedy to this Lagnesh conjunction with Ketu?. Please give me your directions,Your Shishya,S.Prabhakaran varahamihira, "Sanjay Rath" <srath@h...> wrote:> > Om Gurave Namah> ----> > Dear Zoran,> > Excellent reply. Then tell me "In which cases will the conjunction of Ketu with the Lagnesh cause mental aberration and in which cases can we say that the Lagnesh has prevailed?".

Although the conjunction cannot strengthen Jupiter, but Jupiter will also not allow the nodes to be exalted. Thus, in Narayana Dasa where Jupiter aspects or conjoins exalted nodes, they cannot get a year in addition for Aquarius or Scorpio dasa as Jupiter shall annul them. This is important in explaining your chart as well. Thus, come what may you will not compromise with some Adharma situations and will, sooner or later, react.> > With Best Wishes,> Sanjay Rath> > > - > ahimsa@p... > varahamihira > Tuesday, July 24, 2001 1:57 AM> Re: [Hare Rama Krishna] Jup & Rahu> > > Dear Sanjay,> > > Dear Sanjay,> > Jyotish cannot just be a bunch of rules.
