Atmakarak Dasha
Atmakarak Dasha
The Atmakaraka planet is the master of the chart, and always presents lifes greatest
lessons. The natural Atmakaraka is the Sun. The Atmakaraka of this article is the chara
Atmakaraka. Chara Atmakaraka is also known as personal Atmakaraka which guides the
soul towards GOD. The planet that has the highest degree in any sign is considered the
Chara Atmakaraka. According to Sanjay Rath, the mahadasha of the Atmakaraka is
difficult and a challenging one.
Atmakaraka's dasha would not be good - there would be suffering to purify the soul. AK
teaches us through painful experiences because it is supposed to cleanse our soulsdifficult on mundane level, but beneficial on spiritual and in terms of growth.
Atmakaraka dasha may not always give you very negative results but at the same time
will give you at least one experience that you will remember throughout your life.
Malefic planet as Atmakaraka indicates a high level of spiritual development whereas a
benefic planet as the Atmakaraka indicates a relatively lower level. A Malefic
Atmakaraka invariably indicates suffering during its Vimsottari dasa. During the
Narayana dasa of the sign occupied by the Atmakaraka or those aspecting it, great
achievements are made. If the native is spiritually inclined then the dasa of the
Atmakaraka can be beneficial. A retrograde Atmakaraka indicates a deep-rooted desire as
being the cause of the birth. Combustion of AK gives spiritual insight.
In the given example chart Venus is the Atmakaraka having the highest degree in Taurus.
Which is afflicted by malefic and the native is suffereing in the area of marriage.
