I am new to tantra sadhana and don't have any guru pls help

I live on the top floor of my house. Our neighbours used to have access to one of our terraces because it was connected to their floor, and we had no problem letting them use it.
On that terrace, we have several plant pots. A few months ago, my neighbour (an aunty) placed a small Shivling in one of the pots and used to perform daily puja there. I personally saw her doing Abhishek and worshipping it many times.
Two days ago, they permanently moved out of the house, but the Shivling is still there on our terrace.
I’m unsure what the appropriate thing to do is according to Hindu traditions. Should I continue taking care of it, try to contact them to collect it, or is there a proper way to respectfully relocate or immerse it if they don’t come back?
I’m looking for guidance based on traditional practices. Thank you.

Caution: I ain't no expert in astrology, I'm not claiming I'm the best, I am the most authentic, I am 100% correct. I am just a student of Astrology, and it takes me great joy to experiment with things. I'm sharing these with the sole purpose of getting in contact with other experienced astrologers with whom I can work together, research, and come up with the planetary charts of the Mahabharat characters. Since this is very ancient, a bunch of references from information are accepted mainly.

Shri Krishna Birth Chart

To get the approximate birth time of Arjun, the first thing I used for reference was Shri Krishna's commonly accepted birth date, which is June 24, -3227 (3228 BCE)

Now it's commonly accepted that Arjun was approximately 6-9 months younger than Shri Krishna, so the range becomes December -3227 (3228 BCE) to March -3226 (3227 BCE).

Since the month range was fixed, I searched of more information so that I can reduce it further.

The Mahabharat text mentions that Arjun's birth took place in the month of Phalguna, with lagna and moon being in uttara phalguni (26 degree '40 leo to 10 degree '10 virgo), and during Phalguna purnima.

Purnima means that the sun and the moon are 7 houses apart from each other. So if I were to choose the moon in late Leo degree than sun has to be in late Aquarius degree, and if I were to choose the moon in early Virgo degree than sun has to be in early Pisces degree.

So the next step was to figure out which of these two was the best option.

The best way to understand the answer to this is by looking at the relationship dynamics between Shri Krishna and Arjuna. Shri Krishna was Arjun's closest friend, guide, and protector. Arjun, in turn, was the one whom Shri Krishna trusted the most. Both are commonly referred to as Nar Narayan, as their bond was an example of pure friendship.

True friendships only form when one's mind is compatible with another's. For this, I looked at the moon. Shri Krishna moon is in Taurus, earth-sign. If I were to choose the moon sign of Leo for Arjun, then while both Taurus and Leo are fixed/strong signs, Leo would add pride, ego, and royalty within the personality of Arjuna, and so the relationship becomes more friction-filled.

On the other hand, Taurus and Virgo are both earth signs, making the bond more practical, loyal, stable, service-oriented, and skill-based.

Ascendant is Virgo, moon is in Virgo > 10 degree U Phalguni, which means Sun is in pieces > 10 degree.

What I did now was from Shri Krishna's birthdate, June 24, -3227 (3228 BCE) I first went to the next year to find a date when the sun enters pieces

Chart of the transit

The date when the sun enters pieces is 31/12/-3227 (3228 BCE) at 19:32:00.

During this, the moon was in Taurus, so I had to increase the day till it reached the sign of Virgo at 0 degrees.

09/01-3226 09:10:00

Finally, I just had to adjust the timing so that the ascendant becomes Virgo, Moon, and lagna remains in U Phalguni. Resulting in:

09/01/-3226 18:00:00 to 18:40:00

This was the Panchang during his birth

Why do I personally think this is it?

- There is a clear 6-month difference

- Phalguna month (though it is believed to come in Feb-March), is completely valid to be in January, as in the past seasons and rotation were different. Sun in pieces happens to be in the middle of the Phalguna month when it's the Shukla paksha.

-Any other date after this, the next time Shukla Paksha comes, Sun would be in Aries, and so the condition of Purnima would not be satisfied

-If we look at the panchang, it's Vriddhi yoga, which is very auspicious, and the Karana is Bava, which is represented by the lion and ruled by Indra dev, who is the one whom Kunti and Pandu invoked, leading to the birth of Arjun. Occasionally, it's mentioned that this karan is also ruled by Shri Hari Vishnu.

-Another interesting thing is if we consider Shri Krishna June 24, -3227 (3228 BCE) and Arjun January 9, -3226 (3227 BCE) and add their birth dates to single digit, Shri Krishna 24 becomes 2+4 =6, and Arjun 9 remains 9. The numbers 6 and 9 are incredibly harmonious. 6 = energy of Venus, 9 = energy of Mars. 6 softens 9, and 9 energizes 6.

Arjun Ashtakvarga

Just look at how powerful the 2nd, 4th, 10th, and 11th houses are.

Planet condition during his birth

If any astrologer is keen on exploring this and wants to see the divisional charts, feel free to do so. In the second part, I will explore the placements of planets.

Which image of matangi is best to have at home? I included 2 pics if there is a better and more suitable image please share it with me.🙏🏼

(Of course I'm still not initiated so don't scold me or tell me to ask my guru. Currently I have no guru. And I only do naam japa without beej and sing songs for devi.☺️)

Took these pictures today in Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. 1300s, from Karnataka.

If there is a more suitable form of ma please share it with me.🙏🏼

Thank you for your replies in advance.☺️

Hi 👋, I want to know if dharmraj nd yamraj are the same diety or different . Actually I'm a maithil brahmin ( dharmraj ji is a very common kuldevta among maithil brahmins ,we call him dharmraj baba)nd he is my kuladevta , but I am not able to figure out definitely if he is same as yama , some sources define him same as yama ,son of surya nd god of justice, some other sources say that he's a folk diety , not related to vedic yama , it'd would be really helpful if somebody could tell his actual lore , nd how can one offer simple worship to him , if you are thinking nd going to suggest that I should ask my family nd relatives , please don't do that as I've already asked them , even they are not completely sure ,nd also I dont live there anymore , I've gone to my village only 4-5 times in my whole life . Please guide 🙏
