When Ishta Devta is also Badhakesh....what to do?

January 16, 2009

Dear Gurujis and respected members,

I am trying to understand the why one's Ishta Devta can be also

the Badhakesh and I would be very grateful for any insight anyone can

provide me with. Please help me see the significance of this?

In this particular chart, the native started reciting the Vishnu

Sahasranam for the Ishta Devta (Shani = Lord Narayan/Lord Vishnu) but

each time the native recited the prayer, something bad would happen.

The first recitation, the native met with a near-death incident, the

second time, the native's mother had a little car accident and the

third time, the native had problems at the workplace.

Could it be because the badhakesh is Mercury = Lord Vishnu? Is this

some sort of dosha, hence the native has to perform rigorous penance

so that the Ishta Devta would give permission to the native to pray to

Him? Or should another deity be chosen according to the other

planetary aspects?

Please forgive my ignorance and thank you for taking the time to read

my message.

Dear waspieswaspies,

1. Is it not Vishnu for Mercury and Narayana for Saturn as pratyadhi

devatas?

[well, we all know that Vishnu (Mercury), Narayana (Saturn), Krishna

(Moon), Narasimha (Mars), Rama (Sun) are all One at a some level]

2. Please can you indicate the placement of Ishta planet (Saturn) and

Badhakeska (Mercury) in the rasi chart?

(or, give brith data)

just for my understanding.

Best Regards,

SS

Dear Soul Sadhak-ji,

Namaste. Yes you are right. I would not have remembered the nature and

functions of the adhi and pratyadhi devatas without your help (too

focused on the 'Badhakesh versus Ishta Devta battle' point of view)

Thank you for pointing this out. So does it mean that for example,

recitation of 'om namo narayanaya' would be 'less harmful' for the

native than 'om namo bhagavate vasudevaya' because of this nuance in

the different roops of the pratyadhi devata?

Details are: Dhanus Lagna

20 March 1983, Latitude:20 13 South, Longitude 57 26 East, Official

Time of Birth 23:15 GMT+4 (but I have taken 23:29:04 GMT+4 after

rectification) - native of small built, wheatish complexion, 1 younger

sibling

I get Shani RETROGRADE (another indication that a retrograde graha

requires double/treble penance to get close to the Ishta Devta?)

placed in the 11th bhava and a COMBUST Budh in the 4th bhava in the

rasi chart. I started to think that maybe the Badhakesh would not

cause the native any problems in life since it is combust but then the

problems manifest in other ways. E.g Badhakesh is also Darakaraka,

hence no spouse so far for the native and career at a standstill. Also

shouldn't the houses lorded by a COMBUST Badhakesha be problem-free

(7th & 10th)?

Many thanks.

om paramesthi gurave namah

Dear waspies? (which country is this name from?)

It simply means that God wants you to think aoutside the

box...to look at other cultures and religions to find him. To go beyond one’s

physical limitations to seek him. That is the meaning of Ista being badhakesha.

The native will have to break boundaries of caste, religion and cultures to

share his learning and also learn from others. In simpler words, seek the

complete meaning of *vasudaiva kutumbakam* - one world family.

With Warm Regards
