Atma implies the spirit and karaka implies significator. Atmakaraka is the significator of the spirit’s longing. As indicated by the Vedic way of thinking a spirit is renewed in light of the fact that it has incomplete wants that were left unfulfilled in the past lives and it is conceived again to get another chance to fulfill them. What are these wants? Will they be satisfied or will you battle with them? This uncovered by the Atmakaraka planet. In my view the Atmakaraka is one of the most significant planets in the natal outline.

The normal Atmakaraka is the Sun in all outlines. The Atmakaraka of this article is the chara Atmakaraka. Typically when we allude to the individual Atmakaraka, we mean the Chara Atmakaraka. Chara implies versatile and one of eight planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu) can assume control over the mantle of Atmakaraka relying upon its degrees in the natal diagram. The planet that has the most elevated degree, disregarding the signs, is viewed as the chara Atmakaraka. Because of its never-ending retrograde movement, Rahu Ketu degrees are determined by subtracting from 30º. (Anyway other retrograde planets are determined in the typical manner) for example in the event that Rahu Ketu are 15º 24′ in a graph, you less this from 30º and the rest of the degrees will be 14º36′. On the off chance that this degree is more noteworthy than of some other planet, at that point Rahu Ketu will be viewed as the Atmakaraka.

There is a contradiction seeing the utilization of Rahu as Atmakaraka. A few researchers just utilize 7 planets barring Rahu, while others use 8, including Rahu. Ketu as the significator of moksha does not frame some portion of the plan of chara karakas. Moksha is the goal of the spirit, a definitive point, it isn’t significant in uncovering the on the spirit’s all the more common wants. As Rahu and Ketu structure some portion of the karmic hub, Rahu will demonstrate Ketu’s craving for otherworldly satisfaction.. As Rahu interfaces so firmly to the previous existences and unfulfilled wants. Rahu’s job is precious in the quest for answers in this life and the strife this causes just as the spirit’s capacity to eventually triumph over those wild wants.

The Atmakaraka mirrors the soul inside us. In any case, its external articulation does not generally have all the earmarks of being profound. We can be taken in by the illusionary natures of the wants and feel that the satiation of the common wants is all what the spirit needs. In any case, comprehend that the satisfaction of the common wants is a piece of the way toward revealing of the genuine soul. The spirit is stepping the wheel of want as the satisfaction of one lot of material wants can make a regularly expanding hunger for to an ever increasing extent. These wants never become satisfied. The genuine want of the spirit is to get off this haggle self-acknowledgment, harmony and interminable joy. The battle between the genuine and the false must be comprehended. The bogus wants are those we scan for in the outside world. The genuine wants are fulfilled from inside. The fundamental battle of the spirit is to separate between the two and its failure to separate is the motivation behind why it takes birth over and over.

Atmakaraka planet exemplifies these battles yet in addition demonstrates the way through life exercises (for the most part conveyed during Atmakaraka dashas(Main period) and bhuktis(sub period). Relating to the materialistic objectives is fundamental and we should not underestimate these requirements. The way that the spirit is destined to earth demonstrates that there is a common mission for the spirit to finish before it is prepared to comprehend the higher self. Encounters instruct us to search for our higher self. There can’t be a most optimized plan of attack to moksha or self-acknowledgment. So it is imperative to perceive and finish the material objective both the lovely and the unsavory. Without that accomplishment, you can’t go into the inward world and locate your own fortune of satisfaction. Atmakaraka will indicate you both the spirit’s material objectives and the profound ones. Not we all can locate a definitive acknowledgment however we can get gradually edified.
