Legend of Rahu

[Guest guest]

Maybe we can have a discussion in this group regarding the anceint stories in

general and the Legend of Lord Rahu specifically and how it applies to the Holy

Rudraksha

Have read a lot of older stories and they seem to be sometimes convoluted when

trying to interprete them........... meaning parts of stories are left out and

the subject matter jumps around to the point where interpretation is really

difficult

Take the Legend of Lord Rahu for example

The Name of Rahu first appears in the Mahabharata when we read the story of the

churning of the Ocean of Milk in search for theambrosia or the elixir of

immortality know as amrita in Sanskrit.......... so this story qualifies as one

of the Creation Stories

Difficulty in interpretation and understanding starts to show when the story

when it is said Lord Siva and all the demons and asuras were created from Lord

Brahmas third eye in anger and then no mention of Lord Visnu as Lord Visnu till

he takes part in defending the Devas claim to amrita by attacking Lord

Rahu..............then later Lord Rahu prays to Lord Vishnu and is granted

SayaGraha and starts his eternal control on Sun and Moon for exposeing him at

the Soma Gathering

Difficulty in interpretation and understanding slows down again when we find

that Rahu was an actual person..........Rahu was said to be the son of Danava

Vipracittti by his wife Simhika and a brother to Maya Danava the great Magician

We also know that Lord Rahu was supposed to be a great Demon God however when he

prayed to Lord Siva he was granted a boon by Lord Siva and his temple now stands

in Southern India Tamil Nadu.........He also prayed to Lord Vishnu and was

granted boon as SayaGraham who has the Power to basicly destroy the Light from

the Sun or Moon at time of eclipse............So there seems to be a

relationship between Lord Rahu and Lord Siva and Lord Vishnu that many times is

not explained..........Lord Rahu prayed to Almighty God for the ability to

become powerful enough to help people who were afflicted by sun and moon by

being able to cancel their light........sun and moon are always afraid of Lord

Rahu as he is always standing guard for those who have difficulties with sun

and moon

Sun and Moon in Vedic Astrology are totally afraid of RAHU.........RAHU is

basicly invisible and really cannot be tracked as it is not exactly in this

dimension of reality we live in although it has influence in this

reality........is called a shadow planet however is not a physical

planet...........is a place in time and space that cannot really be found and

seen however is always there to eclipse the sun and moon at any time

In addition to all this the Lord Ganesha Eight Mukhi Rudraksha Bead has Lord

Rahu as the ruleing planet so it looks like there is a good relationship with

that Lord Rahu also with Lord Ganesha according to the Holy

Books..............LORD RAHU is always there waiting to catch Sun and Moon and

destroy their Light so poeple that have difficulties with sun and moon can

actually go to Lord Rahu in Puja and Prayer and to his Temple in Tamil Nadu as

he is always keeping pressure on sun and moon due to their deciet of exposeing

him at the time of the churning of the Ocean of Milk and the Soma Party

Lord Rahu has been depicted in stories as being a negative force however this is

not entirely true as all have negative and positive sides to their

nature.........Devas are like this also .....they have negative and positive

sides to their natures and you find storie of most all of them fighting with

one another at one time or another.......... if your birth chart is in House of

Lord Rahu and you are in Rahu or Rahu MahaDasa there is much good that can be

done due to the Accomplishments of Lord Rahu that have made him SayaGraham over

Sun and Moon and with Sivasthala Temple in Tamil Nadu

Now with all this said since the older stories jump around so much the question

is how did the man Rahu Danava son of Danava Vipricitti and born of wife

Simhika and brother to Maya Danava become the Great Dragon King of Nagas who

has such a close relationship with Lord Siva and Lord Visnu and Lord Ganesha

and at same time is the one most feared by sun and moon

Does anyone have additions to this

Hello,

the temples for all the 9 planets are in tamil nadu, that too within a

100 km range. Also within this range are some of the important temples

like vaidheeshwaran temple and the famous nataraja temple in

chidambaram. the mystery of this 'power spot' in tamil nadu is so

wonderful. if you are visiting tamil nadu, do not miss visiting them.

regards,

Prabu
