The Dharmic path is not easy. There are many challenges, obstacles and delays on the path, as well as adharma at every turn. It is easy to get lost in maya (illusion) and pragyaparadha (mistake of the intellect) as well as ancient, ancestral karmas that keep you stuck. You need guidance. You need support on this path or you will get lost.
You are here for one purpose, and one purpose only- to fulfill your Dharma. You must not lose your path, and you must not get distracted. You must not miss the opportunity for awakening dharma in this precious, sacred life.
This is why you need your Ishta Devata.
Building a relationship with your Ishta Devata gives you very specific support for receiving dharmic guidance, transformation, and removing obstacles on your path- specifically for your individual karma. Identifying your Ishta Devata strengthens the Laws of Nature that will bring personal benefits, abundance, grace, and support on your path. This support is specific to your soul and your dharmic path.
You might choose to chant mantras that strengthen other deities. This will bring benefits, but your Ishta Devata offers specific support for your Dharmic path, your soul purpose, and your soul awakening.
I have found that most people tend to strengthen all the deities except their Ishta Devata for some reason! It’s almost as though this is a subconscious avoidance or resistance to their dharmic path.
Once you know who your Ishta Devata truly is, and you start building a relationship with this specific Law of Nature, you’ll notice delays and obstacles on your dharmic path transform into ease, awareness, and alignment.
Use these steps to identify the Ishta Devata in your Jyotish chart:
You will need an accurate birth time and Jyotish chart- or you won’t be able to properly identify who your true Ishta Devata is.
Step One: Identify your Atma Karaka (soul planet). This is the highest degree planet in your chart. Subtract 30° from Rahu to identify his true degrees.
Step Two: Look for the AK planet in your Navamsa, D9. This is your Karakamsa.
Step Three: Count 12 houses away from your Karakamsa to identify your Ishta Devata.
Step Four: Look at this house to identify who your Ishta Devata is. If you have planets in this house, the highest degree planet is your Ishta Devata. If you have no planets in this house, the ruling planet of this sign is your Ishta Devata.
Chant the mantra of this planet, or chant to the deity that correlates to this planet.
Use this mantra every day, all day. When you wake up. When you go to sleep. When you’re doing the dishes. When you’re in the shower. When you have a fear, doubts, worry or challenges- chant to your Ishta Devata. Chant this mantra every time you think of it.
Strengthening the relationship with your Ishta Devata will bring support, ease, and grace on your path. Commit to this mantra practice for at least 40 days and watch your path blossom and strengthen. Notice more guidance and support showing up. See your luck increase and your wisdom improve. Your clarity, focus, and devotion will become even more potent.
