Atmakaraka Lesson

October 23, 2001

Dear Sanjay,

Namaste.

Here are the answers on first two questions of this lesson.

Male born 7 Aug, 1963 at 9:15' PM IST at Sambalpur India. What remedy would you recommend for the native to reduce the suffering and obstacles in life? [28 Sept 2001]

In this chart retrograde Saturn is Atmakaraka. Ista Devata is indicated by Mercury. Mercury is at 13 degree and indicate Krishna as Ista Devata.

Atmakaraka Saturn is in his own sign in Rasi and in Virgo in Navamsha which are both good position for Saturn. So. I suppose that there will not be so many problems for the person, especially because Jupiter is in the lagna in his own house (Pisces). If any problem come to the person that problem will be alleviated by the benefic influence of Jupiter in lagna.

Mercury (Ista Devata) is in the Leo both in Rasi and Navamsa and that's friendly sign for Mercury. Mercury is Gnati karaka and it indicates relatives. So, person will probably be taken to Ista Devata by some relative.

Saturn is in the 11th house in Navamsa - 3 houses to Navamsa lagna. Significator for 3rd house is Mars which can indicate younger brother.

For reducing the sufferings and obstacles native can worship Ista Devata - Sri Krishna and serve and please his relatives (and younger brother).

Sri Aurobindo Ghose 15 Aug, 1872 at about 1 ghati (i.e. 24 minutes) before sunrise at Calcutta, India. Explain the reason behind his great work Savitri (Savitur) and the interpretation of the Rig Veda.[29 Sept 2001

Atmakaraka is Mercury who is in Leo together with Sun and Venus. Mercury is not combusted because he is more than 20 degrees apart from Sun. Rather they form nice Budh Aditya yoga which will give good intelligence. Venus is little bit closer to the Sun (8 degree) and it will get lightly combusted.

In the Navamsa chart Mercury is with Ketu and retrograde Saturn in Scorpio (10th house). Sun is exalted in Navamsa and has an aspect on Mercury Atmakaraka.

Ista Devata is indicated by Venus - Lakshmi, Radharani or maybe Parvati.

Connection between strong Sun and Atmakaraka Mercury can be seen both in Rasi and Navamsa. Savitur is a name for Sun. This is the reason that inspired Sri Aurobindo to make his work.

Mercury in the 10th house together with Ketu and Saturn (retrograde) and under the aspect of Jupiter (although debilitated and in the 12th house) and Sun can show the dedication to the interpretation of old occult or religious texts (Saturn and Ketu). This has been the life mission of this person.

Dear Sanjay, next answers on this lesson I will post in the next few days.

Thank you for the nice lesson and for opportunity to learn...

Darpaha Dasa.
