Graha in Dharma Sthana
this page in progress Not ideal for father = karako bhavo nashto. Strong rational understanding of ethical practice. Gifted preacher, professor, or temple guru.
Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold ethical philosophy and the light of pure reason in the highest regard.
Maternal, intuitive, emotional style of religious behavior. Much affection from the people. One-world love of children and wisdom. Sincere, heart-centered educator, but effectiveness depends on Chandra's lord. religious outreach to mother-and-child, elderly, weaklings needing care. If other graha support, may take up residence in the temple of a goddess or cultivate the religion of the Divine Mother. Likes religious ceremonies that feed and heal people. Wants to feed the world. Favors a touch-healing guru.
Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold maternal embrace and nurturing love in the highest regard.
Unfortunate for father, typically accidents to him. The native travels widely, however one is moving so quickly through world terrain that little deep wisdom sticks to him. Yet one may be a remarkably effective paramilitary missionary, conquering new territory in the material world or in the land of people's minds. If Kuja is auspicious, can be an advance guard, heroically spreading the wisdom culture. Behind one come the slower believers who develop the details of the faith.
Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold male sexuality and competitive achievement in the highest regard
Verbal acuity regarding religion, likes to talk and write about religious subjects and personalities. Excellent for performing rituals, reading texts, and proselytizing. Not so excellent for contemplative wisdom. Budha and Guru are not friendly; Budha is a analytical, conversational mentalizer and Guru is a priestly conductor of wisdom through rituals which connect communities of faith.
Budha in domain-9 likes to gather & organize large amounts of information about the faith tradition. Likes to attend teachings & trainings. Wants to achieve mental discrimination and does learn a great deal "about" practice details and guru personalities. Remains focused at the mental level, a specialist in ritual practice, always friendly and sincere in religious undertakings but largely unaware of true faith. Budha is an impressionable graha so the outcome of religious behavior depends much on Budha's lord.
Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold scriptural knowledge and systematic instruction in the highest regard.
Another karako bhavo nashto situation which is less fortunate for both father and guru, who tend to have an inflated sense of the value of their own knowledge. However the native is deeply generous by nature. Wants to be a professor or priest, and often becomes one, in some guise.
If Guru is uccha or swakshetra or L-5 or lagnesha, the native shall certainly be a teacher and functioning as a ritual-repeating priest of reinforcing and repeating some class of core belief to their audience.
Much good fortune awaits with Guru's placement in the felicitous house of "temples of knowledge". From this base, Guru casts drishti into domains 1, 3, and 5 - bringing a large physical body, auspicious siblings and team-workers, and blessing of children.
Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold priestly authority and ceremonial practices in the highest regard
Love and affection for religious traditions, temples and practitioners. May have a special knowledge of and attraction to religious art. Charming teacher, attractive in dress and appearance. Sensual, permissive teaching style. Prefers a gentle, relationship-cultivating method of communicating with the spirits. Favored by women. Enjoys beautifying the temple.
As Guru of the Demons, Shri Shukra = a mortal enemy of Brihaspati, who is the Guru of the Gods. Shukra in domain-9 lacks respect for ritual hierarchies, grand ceremonies, patriarchal traditions or paternalistic religious behavior. Demonic influence may arise through the guru and the father. They may be profligate or indulge in excessively sensual behavior such as drinking alcohol (Shukra = sugar) or too much enjoyment of women.
Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold female sexuality and romantic love in high regard.
Limited tolerance for impractical teachings and a grounded, earthy style of common-sense wisdom. Benefits from outreach to the masses. Distrust of ritualism and dislikes frivolous ceremonies. May be atheistic or extreme religious minimalist, but is nevertheless a highly compassionate person who gives effective service to the poor & downtrodden.
Father has heavy karma, typically a laborer or burdened man. Father may leave home or be emotionally dead. Harms the income and friendly socializing (11) and the native does more than one's share in teamwork settings (3). Yet Shani here does favor good results from compassionate care of the poor and sick (6) and the native will feel satisfied at death if one commits to a lifetime of dedicated service.
The guru, if any, hails from a modest background. Ideal for karma yoga of selfless service in difficult conditions. Understands and effectively helps those who can accept only very small increments of wisdom. Wants religious teachings which directly address material needs.
Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold the virtue of humility and adherence to moral law in the highest regard
Foreign religion, exotic ritual practice, often much costumery and mixing of traditions. Rahu is a pot-boiler here, encouraging unmet subconscious desires from past lives to boil up to the surface of consciousness. Often the native returns to the religion of one's past life, which may not fit so easily in the current life. Temples, universities, and knowledge networks are infused with passion and psycho-emotional drama. Nature of religious behavior depends on Rahu's lord.
Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold intense passion and transformative desire in the highest regard
Favors moral and religious practice based on detachment. Having been severed from His upper body Rahu, Ketu has no natural body boundaries or clear personal identity. Ketu is always trying to reunite with His missing other half.
Due to low resistance to material boundaries, Ketu in domain-9 is gifted with easy communication in the realm of the spirits. The father and guru are unreliable materially although possibly brilliant psychically. Professors, rabbis, male moral authority figures = spacey, fluctuating in appearance, moving around to various sites.
Meditative traditions with long periods of isolation, such as Buddhist retreats, are favorable. Also gifted in psychic healing traditions which cross presumed physical boundaries i.e. manifestation of spirit matter into physical form. Nature of religious behavior depends on Ketu's lord.
Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold emotional detachment and wandering pilgrimage in the highest regard.

..Maitreya, in his text the Sublime Continuum, gives three reasons on the basis of which one can conclude that the essence of Buddhahood permeates the minds of all sentient beings.
First, he says that the Buddha's activities radiate in the heart of all sentient beings. Now this can be understood in two different ways: one is that we can understand that in every sentient being there is a seed of virtue, and one could see the seed of virtue as an act of the completely enlightened, compassionate Buddha.
But one could also see it in deeper terms, that is, that all sentient beings possess the potential for perfection.
Therefore, there is a kind of perfected being inherent within all sentient beings, radiating. So one can understand it in these ways.
Second, so far as the ultimate nature of reality is concerned, there is total equality between the samsaric state and nirvana.
Third, we all possess a mind which lacks intrinsic reality and independent existence, which allows us to then remove the negativities and delusory states that obscure it.
For these three reasons, Maitreya concludes that all sentient beings possess the essence of Buddhahood.
