Balaji - Rahu's Advocate

[Guest guest]

Dear Balaji,

 

My apologies if I offended you at all, it was certainly never my

intention. The only point I was emphasising (which was your point

too, I believe) was that Rahu's insatiable desire nature can assist

one to achieve their goals. Perhaps my intent can be better

explained by quoting Buddha;

 

"The only difference between you and me is that I never gave up"

 

This statement shows clearly the insatiable desire of Rahu. Common

sense tells us that, when he's associated with spiritual (moksha)

planets, this insatiable desire can indeed be the thing that keeps

one determined enough to achieve his goal. However we shouldn't lose

sight of the fact that his association with malefics can result in

the worst kind of insatiable desires ruling the native's life... But

this is something we're in agreement with, I'm sure :-)

 

As for your feet being set on the path of moksha, I would contribute

that more to Ketu in lagna whilst his star lord Jupiter occupies

8th. This placement of Ketu does hold the promise of moksha (in this

life). Like you, I too have Ketu in lagna, (aspected by 12th moksha

lord Jupiter) whilst dispositor of his star lord occupies 8th....

Like you, I too strive for moksha :-)

 

I do believe that, although there may be many obstacles and

setbacks, Rahu, conjunct 12th lord, flames that fire/desire (for

moksha) so that, no matter what the obstacle or how many times I

might slip and fall, that flame will never go out...the desire will

always be there, thanks to Rahu :-)

 

Again, Balaji, my apologies if I offended you in any way... No doubt

at all you're a better writer than I am a reviewer (critique).

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

Wendy ji - Rahu's Advocate

 

 

Wendy ji,

 

<<<First let me say you're an excellent writer.>>>

 

Yes, you have told me this before! :-)

 

<<<I'm sure you know as well as I do that there's not a

spiritual bone in Rahu's hedonistic body.>>>

 

I know that Rahu is NOT religious, but is he 100% irreligious?

Doubtful. Of course, he IS quite bad, and this I have mentioned

in my document. For example:

 

"It is hard to defend Rahu, who is heretic, irreligious, and

perverted."

 

"And finally, this document doesn't seek to show that black is

white by claiming that Rahu is a

good graha. He most definitely is not."

 

<<< The real benefits, seen from his insatiable desire, is

through the planets associated with him. In your chart, his

influence on 11th lord Mars gives you the passion to go after

(and achieve) your goals in life...11th governs our hopes &

wishes and their fulfilment.>>>

 

I agree with you. I have an insatiable urge to ensure that this

is my last birth. Is not this desire too born through Rahu,

because of Sani Vad Rahu, and Kumba being Sani's Moolatrikona?

In this case, if I get Moksha by God's grace, will not Rahu be

said to have played SOME part in helping me to attain

liberation?

 

<<<Rahu will spur you on like none other. As for the spiritual

inclinations during his dasa, note his placement in sign of

Jupiter (the planet of religion) whilst his star lord Venus

occupies 9th house of religion etc.>>>

 

In fact, this is one of the things that prompted me to look for

"indirect" connections while analyzing the charts for Rahu's

Advocate. In my own chart, Rahu and Sani are in 6/8 positions,

but Sani is the dispositor of Rahu's dispositor and Rahu's

Nakshatra dispositor. Also, Rahu in Dhanur Rasi, as we have

discussed before, is called "Kodanda Rahu" and can lead to

religion with a twist.

 

<<<At the risk of being contraversial, I do have to question

B.V. Raman's data for chart #4 (Jesus Christ).>>>

 

I read in Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" that Christ was born

in March. However, I was determined to stick to only one source,

so I went with Shri BV Raman's book. In fact, this is why I

didn't include the great saint Madhwacharya - his name is not

there in Shri Raman's book.

 

End of the day, Wendy ji, I'm NOT trying to prove that Rahu is

good - I'm only trying to show that he is not THAT bad, that's all!
