Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Very nice reply given by Arjun Ji My sincere thanks to him Regards, J.L panditarjun2004 <panditarjun2004 wrote: dear friend JL your understanding is correct. both as per hindu mythology and as per present day science, rahu and ketu do not exist. according to hindu mythology, the demon swarbhanu got a boon from brahma to get "planet status" and not a real planet. when nectar was distributed to gods, this swarbhanu also had some nectar to which sun and moon complained. based on the complaint of sun and moon, this swarbhanu was cut into two by vishnu. later a snake was cut into two and the body of the snake was attached to the head of swarbhanu and the body of swarbhanu was attached to the head of the snake. these two half-demon half-snake creatures remained immortal and are called rahu and ketu and given "planetary status" and they are not planets. with this backdrop we hear stories of rahu swallowing sun and ketu swallowing moon during eclipses. according to science, a solar eclipse occurs on a new moon day (amavasya) when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth where light of sun is partially or fully blocked by moon from reaching the earth. a lunar eclipse occurs on a full moon day (poornima) when earth comes in betwen sun and moon and light of sun is partialy or fully blocked by earth from reaching moon. according to the original scriptures viz. samhitas written by the sages, rahu and ketu do not own any signs and also does not have any aspect, exaltation, debilitation and mooltrikon. rahu and ketu also do not form any yogas and hence results of any conjunction with other planets was also not mentioned in these scriptures. however, results of rahu or ketu in each sign or house was given since stars were allocated to them because of their planetary status. so they also have the mahadasa and antardasa results due to their getting the planetary status. according to all original scriptures, rahu and ketu are rank malefics. only some modern researches using positive language attributed "vairagyakaraka" to rahu and "mokshakaraka" to ketu which gained popularity. these researchers also presented saturn as planet of patience and were painting saturn, rahu and ketu as benefics or karmic planets in their own languages. recently i was shocked when some researchers were painting jupiter as a rank malefic and how jupiter spoils his own house and they chose to cite lord rama's chart saying jupiter as the culprit. if this trend continues in the name of research, all malefics would become benefics and all benefics would become malefics. the above are my own observations and it is your logic to accept or reject. with best wishes and regards pandit arjun , Jyotish Learner <vedicastro_mind wrote: > > Dear Nalini Ji, > > Simple he is spiritual. > I am not learned scholar like you so I may not be able to give you proper reason plz forgive me. > Since he is headless he doesnt aspect. > In Kaliyug Rahu and Ketu are not considered as planets. > Yes these are "Chaya Grahas". > > Some consider Rahu as benefic and Ketu as malefic they behave as their sign lords. > Plz Learned Guru Jis forgive me if I am wrong as well as Nalini Ji. > > Happy Learning till then > > Regards, > J.L > > > auromirra19 <nalini2818 wrote: > Dear JL, > If ketu does not aspect, then why is he called mokshakaraka. being > karaka why does he not have drishti? it is said because rahu and > ketu are chaya grahas, those who do not have rasmi- the rays.Then > are these two not considered planets at all?
