The guru and their influence on our life and its purpose can be seen from the Bhratrikarka in the Rasi and the Navamsa chart. It is also known as the Gurukaraka, as next to the Amatya it is only the Guru (preceptor) who can guide the atma towards its desired goal and God. The graha obtaining the third highest longitude is called the Bhratrikaraka - the significator of brothers and co-born who actually are expected to stand by the individual in times of dire need. Being the protector of the soul, the palanadevata (the deity who sustains oneself in this world) is seen from the 6th from the Amatyakaraka in the Navamsa. It is the Amatyakaraka who guides the destiny of the person towards attainment of the desires of the atma. Its role is that of a Minister who guides the king. The graha obtaining the second highest longitude is called Amatyakaraka. Being the significator of the soul, the 12th house of liberation is seen from the Atmakaraka in the Navamsa to find out the Ista devata of the native who would guide the soul towards liberation from the bondage of life and death. It is the significator of the soul (atma). The graha that obtains the highest longitude in the chart is the Atmakaraka. The rasis are fixed and represent the environment, while the grahas are in motion which represent people who come and influence us. While the rasis represent different parts of the Lord and the grahas represent the deities who signify a particular aspect and event in the life of a creature. We know that when we talk of a horoscope we are talking of Narayana (Maha Vishnu) who is the creator and preserver of the brahmanda. They represent the creation process and hence all perceptible and imperceptible creation of the world are governed by them. The remaining category is the Naisargik karaka governed by Brahma and there are 9 such karakas. They show the influence of various atmas / souls in our life and thus means our sustainence in this material world in the form of a social life (having inter relationships with various souls in this world) and spiritual growth. The charakaraka is governed by vishnu and are 8 such karakas. They represent the death of various animate things surrounding us (Rahu and Ketu, who are the shadowy planets without body cannot die and hence is excluded from the scheme of the 7 sthira karakas). The sthirakarakas are governed by by Shiva and there are 7 such karakas. The utility of these karakas can be understood from the standpoint of their gunas. Based on the inhenrent gunas, Sattva, Rajas and Tamas the karakas are classified in three categories namly the Naisargik karaka which is predominant in Rajas Guna, the Chara Karaka which is predominant in the Sattva guna and the the Sthira Karaka which is predominant in the Tamas guna.
This means that the karakas represent the influence of various things animate or inanimate, in our life. Karaka means the doer of certain activities. All inanimate as well as the animate being the world are signified by the planets and hence the work karaka is associated with them.
