Ishta Devata- How to Find Your Personal Deity in Vedic Astrology

[@mponnurangam7297]

My Humble Salutations to you dear Simon Chokovoisky!! You have given a perfect example for Christians to accept their own Gods to be worshipped in different attitudes!! As an Hindhu it really touched my soul as we accept God in various form and also in formless effulgent!! I did learn a lot from.the couple of your vedios!! I shall remain ever grateful to your teachings!! Thanks Respected Sir.

[@roflswamp6]

It was pretty amazing tbh

[@nocountryforfreemen9753]

You're a secular Hindu. This is cultural appropriation and you don't have any problem with that? I hope you convert to Christianity (a false religion). Good riddance

[@daidadevi]

I like all the Devatas

[@divyamadhubala7102]

I used 2nd technique. 12th house from Karakamsa in my D9, I have Moon exalted. Krishna is my Ishta Devata 🙏❤

[@Smaug185]

Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful. I was quite surprised to hear Jehovahs witnesses mentioned!. I was raised a JW left that religion at my saturn return so funny you say Saturn with deprivation how accurate!....shortly after came across the Bhagavad Gita which I started but did not complete..I have since explored different non Christian paths, astrology has lead me here.

[@margolitapnina6716]

I've always felt like it was mercury related ~ in all 3 methods i got mercury and i also have gemini 1st house in D1 💖💕 personally i like the D9 method ( the second one ) ~ thanks for ur work !!!!!!!

[@alonetimeispeacemind8608]

The d9 is the soul worship the soul and it is also relegated to luck our soul code must be worshiped 👍

[@balance360_mateja]

In D1 Moon is in the 5th house, it's in Aquarius and it's not strong. Saturn is with Mars in the 12th house in Virgo. The second and the 3rd techniques gave me Mars, one time with Venus in Leo and second in scorpio. My intuition led me to Ganesha and Krishna when I'm emotionaly down. Now I can understand why. Thank you very much for this knowledge.

[@stephenromey6348]

I see a lot on the internet and KZbin specifically about 'finding' one's Ishta Devata via the birth chart. But let's ask a more fundamental question. Can one just choose an Ishta Devata based on their deep intuitive feeling? I have chosen Maruga (Skanda) brother of Ganesha and son of Shiva as my Ishta Devata. I do puja to Skanda everyday. I have no idea what my birth chart indicates as far as an Ishta Devata. I would like to get some thoughts from others on this topic.

[@chrysocolapteserythrocepha5915]

@@roflswamp6 I think the Judeo-Christian God is a combination of all the gods that is why he seems to have solar, martian, mercurial aspects etc. I believe the Seven Spirits of God correspond to the Seven Planets. Jesus referred to himself as the Bright Morning Star (Revelation 22:16) - the masculine aspect (Attar) of Venus, the Evenstar being the feminine (Attart), in ancient Semetic mythology. The saints (and probably angels) are considered one body (in perfect communion) with Jesus Christ, hence they are practically gods. Jesus says he is the Vine and his followers (i.e. the saints) are the branches, and they were able to produce fruits (his virtues, attributes, miracles, etc.) through their communion with him (John 15:5-11).

AK is considered as the highest degree planet. 9 away from it there is the dharma Devata 12 away there is the ishta. My dharma Devata is Jupiter (3 degree) in 5 house inside Aries even the lord of Aries which is mars has 0’51 degrees very weak dharma from the D9. My Ishta Devta is ketu in 8 house inside cancer. My concern is my weak dharma what do you think? The Saturn aspects are not effecting him, Mars and Jupiter are barely awake. The point is it’s in a friendly side so maybe we have a positive thing here that can awake my dharma I appreciate your knowledge that’s why I came here to ask for advice.

So I suppose you can have a go at the Thirisaz Rune exercise facing south for best transformational results. Also try the Heaven Earth meditation.

i disagree with a purely feminine take on Venus. many men in my life, including my father have Venus AK and i have Jupiter AK. these lazy, beneficial "Venusian Dukes" are still utterly masculine. even Lakshmi is just Vishnu's shakti... and Shiva himself was malicious until Sati destroyed herself with fire ultimately paving the way for Parvati (air) to be a container for his passion and therefore become a householder capable of creating a child himself with help from many mothers and devas. we need to unmask the rishis and their wives to understand these feuds. the fixed stars? containing all of female nature into purely material form and then pitting this against the moon while Saturn views Venus as his owned creation... this is a fatal flaw in the teaching and it comes from a disconnect of east/west and north/south and up/down. this means that Saraswati is more complex, refined and less violent than the demiurge of Brahmins. we therefore need to see a form of Durga that is self created. until this mental flaw is resolved there will remain a shadow of violence coming from our children. edit-- i see the problem here. the only power for a childless female is through marriage. so a female seer with a vow of celibacy has no power in nature while male celibacy has no such limitation. is this balanced? we know that nature ultimately seeks balance.
