Atmakaraka: Detailed Analysis for Finding your Ishta Devata from Vedic Astrology

FIND ISHTA DEVATA FROM BIRTH CHART

Ishta mean soul and devata means God
God of the soul who will lead you to enlightenment  or moksha or the final place meant of the soul. From where the Soul will not come to the three dimensional world again to suffer pain and experience different emotion any more.  It will stay in peace for ever.

Ishta Devata plays a key role in one’s life, which can be revealed from Atma Karaka. Atma Karaka is the planet which has traveled highest longitude in the birth chart in a particular Zodiac Sign. Find out the planet which has traveled the longest longitude and find the planet positioned in Navamsa (D9), since Navamsa shows blessings of God into the native and the way the person communicates with GOD  (where you will find the strength of all your planets)  The position of Atmakaraka in Navamsa is called as KARAKAMSA. Find out the karakamsa in D-1 (Rashi chart). The 12th house from Karakamsa is called as Jivan Muktamsa, which signifies the emancipation of the soul and examine the planetary positions in the 12th house from Karakamsa Lagna. The planet deposited in 12th house , God related to that planet is the Ishta Devata. If there is no planet, planet aspecting that sign has to be considered, if there two or more planet aspecting then the strongest of them is  for  the Ishta devata or God related to that planet is the Ishta devata . If there is no planet aspecting, then the Lord of that sign has to be taken as the planet for Ishta Devata.  God related to that planet will guide to the path of moksha.
