It is another place for seeing God, spirituality Seeing " spirituality " from the 6th house from AmK is a new idea introduced by Pt Rath and one without any demonstrated basis. It even contradicts his previous teachings that the 6th house from AmK shows material sustenance and shows a deity ( " paalana devata " ) that takes care of one's livelihood and sustenance. * * * Pt Rath introduced a new principle based on it: > Try this - If a strong planet is in the 6th house from Amatyakaraka in > dashamsha, then the native will also do some good work in the spiritual > path. This would be a more apt way of sayng things Elvis Presley had Mars in own sign in the 6th house from AmK Jupiter, irrespective of whether one uses 7 or 8 or 7/8 chara karakas. He was a good man and a great entertainer, but he hardly did " some good work in the spiritual path " . Ronald Reagan had exalted Mercury in the 6th house from AmK Sun, irrespective of whether one uses 7 or 8 or 7/8 chara karakas. He was a religious man, but he hardly did " some good work in the spiritual path " . He was an actor and a successful political leader. Woody Allen has Saturn in an adhimitra rasi in the 6th house from AmK Sun, irrespective of whether one uses 7 or 8 or 7/8 chara karakas. He is a famous and intelligent showman, but hardly did " some good work in the spiritual path " . Ramakrishna Dalmiya had exalted Ketu in the 6th house from AmK Sun, irrespective of whether one uses 7 or 8 or 7/8 chara karakas. He was a smart and controversial businessman, but he hardly did " some good work in the spiritual path " . On the other hand, some people who devoted their lives to spiritual path and " did some good work " , such as Swami Vivekananda, Sarada Mata and Paramahamsa Yogananda, had no planets in the 6th house from AmK in D-10. The new principle from Pt Rath neither works nor makes logical sense. Fundamentally, why see " spirituality " from the 6th house from Amk? * * * Pt Rath wrote: > So, the 6th from AmK is seen for spirituality purpose and has > *nothingto do with power and position* I never said the 6th from AmK shows " power and position " . This is a misinterpretation of my words. When I suggested a principle by linking three parameters, this is what I wrote on each of the parameters in the original quoted mail: " We are basically looking for synergy between (a) the professional (D-10) effort (6th) and (b) mental (SBC) activity (10th star), of the spirit of work in one (AmK), and the blessings (trines) related to power and influence (GL). " Amatya Karaka (AmK) represents the spirit of work in one. The 6th house (overcoming obstacles) from him shows how one puts in effort to overcome obstacles. I did not say it shows power and posititon. We are looking for synergy between these parameters by way of common influences: (1) The 6th house from AmK in D-10: Effort put in by the spirit of work in one in one's profession (2) The 10th star from AmK in SBC: Mental activity of the spirit of work in one (3) The trines from GL: The power and position one is blessed with at the physical level I found that a lot of successful people have a common influence on these parameters and so shared it. But I never said 6th from AmK shows " power " . * * * Reema wrote: > 2) A more fundamental question is why is Palana Devata seen from the > 6th? It relates to matters of sustenance. Then, why not 2nd from AmK? Good question! I suggest putting aside the notion that the 6th house from AmK governs " sustenance " and " livelihood " , as taught by Pt Rath in the past, and taking a fresh look at the matter. Given that Pt Rath now claims it shows " spirituality " suggests that he too is perhaps taking a fresh look! Then why should others be bogged down by his previous teachings? Parasara talked about seeing deities from the 12th house from AK and the 6th house from AmK. Parasara said well-placed Ketu with benefic influences in the 12th house from AK shows saayujya, moksha etc (different levels of liberation from the limited I-ness that we normally have). In general, he gave the idea that 12th from AK has to do with spiritual evolution and liberation and associated different deities with different planetary influences. But he did not say what to see from the 6th from AmK and it is upto us to understand it! We have some clues. For example, Parasara said AK is like the king if a native's personality is a kingdom. And we know that " amaatya " means minister. We also know that Amatya Karaka was associated with career by many scholars in the past. I will share *my* opinion on what AmK stands for, based on my studies, contemplation and research. * * * AK shows Self or one's sense of I-ness (sense of " this is I " ). If a nativity is compared to a kingdom, then it makes sense to compare AK to the king as Parasara did. The I-ness is the ultimate controller of an individualized consciousness. The 12th house of loss or giving up from AK shows giving up I-ness and being liberated. No wonder Parasara used it in combinations involving saayujya, moksha etc. If one's existence as a being separate from Aatman/Brahman is analogous to a kingdom and the sense of self or I-ness is analogous to the king of that kingdom, then what is analogous to the minister? The sense of purpose or the sense of " this is the work I must accomplish " must be be analogous to the minister counseling the king. One's sense of purpose in life actively counsels one's I-ness to get various things done. Thus, I suggest that AmK shows one's sense of purpose in life or the sense that " this is the work I must accomplish " . As the sense of purpose guides and influences the work that people do, no wonder many scholars associated AmK with profession in the past. * * * When you look at things from the perspective of one's sense of purpose in life, the 2nd house of resources and food is also important as it shows what feeds one's sense of purpose in life. However, the 6th house is the most important as it shows the challenges and how they are overcome, to one's sense of purpose. The 6th house from AmK does not exactly show one's livelihood and material sustenance, but how one overcomes challenges to one's inner sense of purpose in life - what one views as " this is what I need to do " . The deity associated with the 6th from AmK enables one to overcome challenges and fulfil one's sense of purpose in life. The deity associated with the 12th from AK enables one to overcome I-ness and merge with god. * * * I replied to Reema's orginal mail of counter-examples in JyotishWritings/message/16 and explained how I reckon the 6th house from AmK in D-10. Most of the counter-examples were not really counter-examples as AmK was way too advanced in the sign and the 6th house extended way into the next sign compared to what Reema took.

I have two questions, here: 1) What does 6th from AmK have to do with spirituality? I mean, for a spiritual person his/her palana is a manifestation of Devata's blessing. I get that. But beyond this, how does Palana Devata lead one to be more spiritual? 2) A more fundamental question is why is Palana Devata seen from the 6th? It relates to matters of sustenance. Then, why not 2nd from AmK?

If the 6th house reckoned from AmK in D-10 and the 10th star (karma nakshatra) reckoned from AmK in SBC have an influence of the same planet and that planet is also associated with a trine from GL in rasi chart, one rises to a position of power and influence in one's work.

When I meditate deeply after homam or in general, I sometimes go into a nice spiritual state. Though there was some desire to find some principle based on abhisheka nakshatra *before* meditation started, it completely vanished from my consciousness as meditation deepened and the regular self-awareness vanished too. Then I was in a nice spiritual state where the logical mind and intuitive mind were very very calm without much mental activity.

He rejected Maayaa and even called Ramakrishna' s visions of various deities as hallucinations and plays of the mind. He only accepted the formless. Ramakrishna slowly created in him respect and love for Vishnu Maayaa that governs duality. Well, it takes one with purified Vishnu tattva to create respect and love for Vishnu Maayaa in one with raw Shiva tattva. Moreover, it was at the Shiva temple at Amarnath in Himalayas that Vivekananda finally realized his true nature. > > > > > > * * * > > > > > > As Jupiter and Mercury are the natural guru and sishya and Jupiter is supposed to show Sadashiva and Mercury is supposed to show Vishnu, one may be tempted to theorize that Shiva is guru and Vishnu is sishya and attribute Shiva tattva to guru in a guru-sishya pair.

Secondly, the space of Vimsottari lord of abhisheka nakshtra contains nine planets, while the space of chara karakas contains eight planets. A formula based on equating them is mixing up two unequal sets. That is illogical. Moreover, this formula fails in many examples and works in just two (third example is based on questionable data). Thus, it sounds like a formula constructed based on an observation which was made based on just 2-3 charts. > > > > > > Any genuine formula should work in a far higher percentage of applicable charts. > > > > > > * * * > > > > > > I tried to find some reasonable and logical criterion based on abhisheka nakshatra to find initial indications of a potential for liberation, that works in all the charts I mentioned above. I was unsuccessful. Each formula works in some and fails in some.

The formula that was given to me is this: " The abhisheka nakshatra - the 28th nakshatra - reckoned from chara aatma kaaraka has aspect or vedha in sarvatobhadra chakra (SBC) from a planet that is also associated with (a) the 12th house from chara aatma kaaraka in D-20 chart and (b) 5th or 9th house from lagna in rasi chart. If chara aatma kaaraka is Rahu, counting of the 28th star in SBC as well as counting of the 12th house in D-20 is in anti-zodiacal order. " > > > > > > The D-20 is the chart of spiritual progress. The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse. Even when defining argala, Parasara asked to reckon argalas and virodha argalas based on houses from Rahu and Ketu in anti-zodiacal order. > > > > > > Thus, we are finding a planetary influence that brings poorvapunya and bhagya (5th and 9th) to this specific existence (lagna) and promotes liberation (12th house/28th star) of individual soul (AK) in the conscious mental plane (SBC) and the plane of spiritual activity (D-20). > > > > > > Please note that this formula does not use Vimsottari dasa lordships.
