Jaimini Essentials: Karakas & Arudhas · Gurukul Plus
Atmakaraka & Karakamsa
The graha that leads the chart, and where it lands in the navamsa.
This chapter is part of Gurukul Plus
The foundational curriculum — grahas, rashis, bhavas, nakshatras, dashas and how to read a chart with them — is free to read here and free to practise in the app. Jaimini Essentials: Karakas & Arudhas is one of the advanced chapters, and its teaching text comes with Plus.
Plus is ₹199 a month, or ₹1,999 a year. It opens every advanced chapter and raises your saved charts from one to four, so you can work on family charts alongside your own. Both plans renew until you cancel, and cancelling takes one click.

- The Atmakaraka
- The highest-degree graha: the chart's central significator of the self, whose themes the person tends to take most personally.
- Karakamsa
- The sign the Atmakaraka occupies in the navamsa, read as a starting point in the D9. The 12th from it is the app's ishta devata pointer.
