    The text discusses how to determine one's Ishta Devata (favorite deity) through examination of the Atmakaraka (soul planet) and its placement in the Navamsa chart. The house occupied by the Atmakaraka in Navamsa is important, as well as the 12th house from that position.

    The Atmakaraka plays a key role in revealing one's Ishta Devata. Its placement in the Navamsa chart indicates the house of one's Karakamsa, and examining the 12th house from there can signify the native's Ishta Devata based on occupying planets.

    One's Ishta Devata can be determined based on the planet occupying the 12th house from the Karakamsa (house occupied by Atmakaraka in Navamsa). If multiple planets occupy this house, the strongest one is chosen. If it's empty, the ruler of that house signifies the Ishta Devata.

    Atmakaraka: PART 1

    How to find Ishta Devata in a chart


    The key role in revealing one's Ishta Devata plays the Atma Karaka.
    Atma Karaka is the planet that has the highest longitude. To find one's
    Ishta Devata we have to look at the Atma Karaka in Navamsa, since the
    Navamsa shows blessings of God onto the native and the way in which
    the native communicates with God. Navamsa is also known as the
    dharma-amsa, since it is the 9th division (ninth house signifies dharma).
    Therefore we should look for Ishta Devata in this Varga.
    The house that the Atma Karaka planet occupies in the Navamsa Chart
    (Varga/Division) is called the Karakamsa. The twelfth house from Lagna
    shows that what releases one from the bonds of this world. The twelfth
    house from the karakamsa is called the Jivanmuktamsa. This is the house
    signifying the emancipation of the soul and we have to examine this
    house in order to find one's Ishta Devata. If there is a graha in the
    jivanmuktamsa, it signifies the Devata. If there are more grahas than
    one, we choose the strongest. If there is no graha in the jivanmuktamsa,
    we take its Lord (ruling planet).
    Find Your Ishta Devata Now from Placement of Atmakaraka in Your
    Navamsa

    Chart

    As described, above, Ishta Devata can be found from placement of


    Atmakaraka in your Navamsa Chart.
    Atmakaraka in Navamsa is called Karakamsa.
    Twelth house from karakamsa is to be examined for finding out one's
    Ishta devata. The planet in this house represents your Ishta Devata.
    If there is more then one planet in this house then the strongest planet
    signifies your Ishta devata. If there is no planet then its lord (ruling
    planet of the karakamsha house) has to be considered.

    about Sun alone occupying that position or if it is empty.

    Focusing on the spiritual direction, Maharishi Parasara and Jaimini


    explain that the key to open our door towards God lies in the navamsa
    placement of Ketu. Further this gives Siddhi and great spiritual depth.
    If Sun is associated with Ketu then Siva worship is indicated.
    If Moon associates then Gouri worship is indicated.
    If Venus associates then Lakshmi worship is indicated.
    If Mars associates then Skanda worship is indicated.
    For both Mercury and Saturn Vishu/Krishna worship is indicated.
    If Jupiter associates then Sambasiva worship is indicated.
    If Rahu associates then Tamasi or Durga worship is indicated.
    If Ketu alone associates then Ganesha or Skanda worship is indicated
    The sign/navamsa occupied by the tmakraka gives us a clue as to the
    desire of the tma and the nature of the tmakraka gives us vital

    information about the nature of the tma, its spiritual development etc.
    Some of my experiences are listed below:
    1. If a malefic planet is the tmakraka, it indicates a high level of
    spiritual development whereas a benefic planet as the tmakraka
    indicates a relatively lower level. Example: Rahu was the tmakraka for
    Srila Prabhupada and Ramakrishna Paramhamsa
    2. . The tmakraka invariably indicates suffering during its Vimsottari
    dasa, especially if a malefic. During the Nryana dasa of the sign
    occupied by the tmakraka or those aspecting it, great achievements are
    made. If the native is spiritually inclined then the dasa of the tmakraka
    can be beneficial.
    3. A retrograde tmakraka indicates a deep-rooted desire as being the
    cause of the birth. This has to be seen from the nature of the planet
    which becomes the AK. For example, if Mars is AK and retrograde, then
    there is a very strong desire related to succeeding in some battle or
    competition in this planet and the native will be dragged into
    innumerable fights and will be fighting all the time. The solution lies in
    finding the best self defense strategies based on Krakmsa of
    which,Ahimsa is the greatest. Similarly, if Saturn is the retrograde AK
    then the desire would manifest in the native doing something related to
    the elders or old knowledge in new bottles. When retrograde, this desire
    is very strong and will be the cause of all direction in life. The other

    signification of Saturn is sorrow and if the native gives sorrow to others,


    especially elders and those who are like Guru, then know that he is
    running a bad time and a lot of sorrow is in his destiny (in any case). The
    best remedy for him would be to develop a stoic attitude towards the acts
    and words of others and keep prodding in his path. In this manner, the
    retrogression is to be understood.
    4. Combustion of AK gives spiritual insight.
    Planets as tmakraka:
    1. Sun as AK indicates the native has to learn to overcome his ego and
    should become humble.
    2. Moon as AK indicates that the native should be very caring and
    compassionate.
    3. Mars as AK indicates that the native should refrain from all forms of
    violence and stick to the path of Ahimsa.
    4. Mercury as AK indicates that the native should control his speech and
    be truthful at all times.
    5. Jupiter as AK indicates that the native should always respect the Guru,
    spouse and care for children.

    6. Venus as AK indicates that the native must have a very clean character
    and refrain from illegitimate sex/lust.
    7. Saturn as AK indicates that the native cannot give sorrow to others
    and willhave to share the sorrow of many others.8. Rahu as AK indicates
    that the native maybe cheated often and will still haveto be free from
    guile and clean hearted.tmakraka in signs & housesJaimini has
    indicated the results ofVarious navamsa for the placement of AK
    (atmakaraka) Read this carefully and make a list for ready reference.
