Confusion between isht, dharam and palan devta

[Guest guest]

Dear All

Om

 

Its always good to see the vedic culture rising with the help of groups like

this. I, too, slowly, have found interest in this vast field of vedic knowledge.

But I am just a beginner. So, please forgive me if I go wrong somewhere.

I have learnt that the best way to try your astrology knowledge is to try it on

yourself. So, I have started it that way.

First of all, the details:

 

DOB - 09-Nov-1990

Time - 09:06 AM

Place - Ludhiana, Punjab

 

I have a few questions which I think are primitive at this stage.

Firstly, what is the difference between a dharma devta and isht devta? I mean I

know that dharma devta helps one in achieving his dreams while isht devta frees

the soul from the rush of this world. But, then why are some people told to

worship dharma devta and some isht devta? Does this thing depend upon the age of

subject.

 

Dharma devta is taken from the 6th house of karkamsa and isht devta from 12th

house of karkamsa. But what if these house contain marakas or malefic planets?

Like in my case, shukra (paalan devta graha) and budh (dharma devta graha) are

makaras (vrishchik lagna) and mangal(isht devta graha) is a natural malefic. So

how do I go through this? Moreover, according to BPHS, even rashis denote female

deities. In my case, the isht devta graha is in vrishchik rashi and hence female

deity. So does this mean that I should worship some female deity for mangal and

not hanuman or skanda. Who is that deity?

 

Or should I pray to Maa Lakshmi, Maa Durga/Vishnu and Narasimha roop of

Vishnu/Hanuman/Skanda respectively? But here also, there's a problem. I feel

myself strongly attached to Shiva ji and Ganesh ji and not at all to Vishnu ji.

Moreover, moon being in bhagya sthan, shiv ji is the doer of all things for me.

Isn't it? How do I get out of this confusion?

 

Second: I have a combust mercury sitting in my lagna and the lagnesh (mangal)

sitting in 7th house from lagna. This should mean great anger and irritable

nature, which I have. But then, the state of budh should mean problems related

to skin ( i have those), poor argumentative and analytical powers (false), poor

mathematician (false) and poor memory (i don't know). So how does astrology

define this thing?

 

Last: Shani is my atmakaraka. Shukra is the amatyakarka. Moreover, I am into

engineering/technical field (shani's brach). So should one always work towards

strengthening the AK and AmK graha, even if they are placed in dushthans or

enemy houses (though not in my case)?

 

Personal problem: I have started having breathing problems for the past 1 month.

Doctors diagnose it as psychogenic dyspnea and hence, have put me on

anti-anxiety pills. They say that I am taking a lot of stress these days which I

feel is not true at all. So what does astrology has to say about it? I still

don't know how to prepare a daily or yearly chart. So please guide me through

this.

 

If you can help me with my questions, it will be really great. I would feel

privileged by being a tiny part of this whole ocean of vedic astrology.

 

Your eternal well-wisher
