Palana Devata & Jyotirlinga Mantras for Career

Two remedies for career. The Palana Devata, who guards food and resources, is a form of the Divine Mother: in the Navamsa take the 6th sign from the Amatyakaraka, then the planet in it, or its lord if it is empty, and worship the Mother's form for that planet. For recognition and progress at work, worship Shiva as the Jyotirlinga of the 5th lord of the Dasamsa, with Om Namah Shivaya followed by the Jyotirlinga's name. Both tables are given for all nine planets. For the student: Tripura Sundari to protect the job, and the Kaleshwara mantra 108 times each morning for standing at work.

Key principle

Vishnu gives moksha. Shiva gives recognition and success. And Mother gives food to eat.

Example Chart

Example chart — Leo lagna, time as given (1949)
Jun 13, 1949 · 10:55 AM IST · South India
Navamsa: Moon, the Amatyakaraka, is in Sagittarius; the 6th sign from it is Taurus, where Mercury sits → Tripura Sundari. D-10: the class counts from Virgo lagna, where the 5th house is Capricorn, lord Saturn → Kaleshwara. At the time as given the D-10 lagna is Libra and the 5th is Aquarius — Saturn again, so the mantra is the same.

Palana Devata (Sustenance Deity) and Mantras

Two kinds of mantra for career trouble: one for keeping your livelihood, one for recognition at work.

Three Deities for Three Purposes

  • Vishnu (his avataras) → moksha
  • Devi / Shakti (Palana Devata) → food, resources, career
  • Shiva (a Jyotirlinga) → recognition and success

"Vishnu gives moksha. Shiva gives recognition and success. And Mother gives food to eat."

Palana Devata

The deity who controls your resources and the food you get.

  1. Go to the Navamsha
  2. Find the Amatyakaraka (AmK)
  3. Count the 6th sign from AmK
  4. A planet in that sign → take that planet. Sign empty → take its lord.
  5. Worship the form of the Divine Mother that corresponds to that planet

Forms of the Mother by planet:

PlanetForm of the Mother
SunRajarajeshwari, Matangi or Pingala
MoonParvati or Lalita
MarsChamundi, Bagalamukhi or Anjana Devi
MercuryTripura Sundari (the Mother holding a sugar cane)
JupiterTara; one can also say Saraswati
VenusLakshmi
SaturnMahakali
RahuDurga; some say Chinnamasta
KetuDhumavati

There are many classifications of Shakti (the ten Mahavidyas and others). Any may be used, as long as the form belongs to the right planet.

For the native: AmK = Moon, in Sagittarius in Navamsha → 6th from Sagittarius = Taurus → Mercury is in Taurus → Tripura Sundari

  • No fixed shloka is prescribed. Mantra, shloka or kavacha, whatever he feels at home with, addressed to Tripura Sundari.
  • Result: no trouble getting food; resources are not cut off. This is the one that protects the job.

Recognition at Work: Jyotirlinga Mantras

To be recognised for your ability and to progress where you work, worship Shiva as the Jyotirlinga of the 5th lord of the Dasamsha.

  • Look at the 5th house of D-10, take its lord, take that planet's Jyotirlinga
  • Visiting the place is very good; praying to that form without visiting also works
  • Mantra: Om Namah Shivaya + the name. Where two names are given, either may be used.

  • Example: Aries lagna in Dasamsha → 5th lord Sun → Rameshwara
  • Pronunciation: "Mallika-arjuna", and "Vaidyanatha" with tha, not dha

For the native: 5th house of D-10 is Capricorn → lord Saturn → Om Namah Shivaya Namah Kaleshwaraya

  • 108 times in the morning, every day, or at least every Saturday; above all when something is brewing at the company
  • This mantra is for being an important person at the workplace. It is not the one that saves the job; that is Mother Tripura Sundari.
  • With both, he should get through the year of Mars antardasha.
