Rahu According to me. Mr. Vishwanadham

[Guest guest]

Dear Vishwanadham,

Sending you excerpts from my previously posted article.

 

 

"The more I look at Rahu's role in our lives, the more I am convinced that there

is more to Rahu than what is attributed to him.Rahu as Demon with only head,and

all evils ascribed to Rahu seem to be born more out of Puranic depiction of

Rahu as cheating Rakshasa .

It is but human nature to paint any shade in to darker and darker shade . A

small time thief becomes a demonic murderer, cheat etc once the story is told

and retold over a period of time. A mole hill is converted into a

mountain.Everything Fair in colour is seen as Fair, beautiful, good and benign

in nature and everything black is associated with worst things you can imagine.

Thus black people are termed as cheats, crooks, dumb, fools, low in caste,of low

character , menials, diseased etc.This obsession with dark and black has been

well adopted by astrologers of yore.Thus Saturn, Rahu and Ketu have become

mlechheas, sudras, thieves, labourers,crooks, and whatever bad you can think

of.

So when it came to allotting Karakatwa , venus, Jupiter, Mercury and Sun took

the best of the portfolios. Rules of astrology were formed to fit their

brightness . Sometimes square pegs were put in round holes.Brihaspati, the Deva

Guru , supposed to be of most benign nature, intelligent and karaka of wealth

was given many portfolios. Out of that, portfolio of 2nd house was also given

to him. But when they found that Guru, even though was made karaka for house of

wealth, whenever he was in 2nd bhava, the man turned into a pauper lost wealth

or suffered financially.How can a minister of finance occupying his own office

in the place ruled by him destroy the finances of the country ?They also found

that BAD Sani , increased wealth when in 2nd bhava.

It is like a Menial low caste servant occupying the seat of finance in the

ministry increase the wealth of the country. !!!How paradoxical !!!!

So the old Astrologers belonging to Brihaspati's kula (Brahmins) made a rule to explain.

BHAVA NASH KARO JEEVA,BHAVA VRIDDHHI KARAU SHANI:

Meaning, Jupiter destroys the bhava he occupies and saturn increases the bhava

he occupies.I remember the story of olden times when a child wants Moon, the

mother brings a plate of water and asks the child to take the reflection of

Moon."And since the child believes in Mother, he accepts that moon and stops

crying. People accepted all the so called Exceptions to the rule without

questioning. In respect to Brihaspati, I found that he is a misfit in most of

the places he sits.So I have read karakatva, nature, description etc of Rahu

and came to conclusion that 2nd house being the most important house in a

horoscope surpassing even the 9th , 10th , 5th etc should be lorded over by

Rahu.You may ask me " why Rahu? "Because, Rahu, as I said before, rules over

All impulses, organs of impulses or Inputs like nose, skin, ears, mouth eyes

etc. All these are in Head. He rules over mouth, openings, chidras (Holes or

Indriya Dwaras). Major chidras are in head

and on face. Eyes, ears, mouth nose. These four major Indriyas are Rahu's

weapon. Remember he loves number 4.With mouth, food or energy etc go in.

Speech comes out. Nose is for taking in air and exhaling. 2nd house rules over

coming and going.Rahu as lord of the DWARA or door, allows things to go in or

come out.All inputs given by these four perceiving organs(Indriyas) are passed

on to brain (Head). Hence Rahu must lord over 2nd house.

2nd house denotes, speech, wealth, supporting others including family, truth and

falsehood(Rahu).Tongue, eyes,Nose, throat,Diamond, Gold,

silver,Gems,perfumes,garments, copper, determination,trade, softness of

speech,effort in acquiring wealth and riches and the means adopted also,

miserliness,oratorical ability,modesty, firmness of mind, rules of coming and

going, power of living etc. (Utarakalamrita)

To acqire wealth, you need best usage of inputs of information, best utilisation

of resources, ability to speak, ability to plan, capacity to manipulate, ability

to fight and win over opponents and a strong luck. Ability to change colours,

deception capability etc.Since Rahu fitted the bill because he can do all the

above and much more......

There is lot more to Rahu than it is to Jupiter.

can reply whenever you like.i said Rahu is not responsible for eclipse, because

that is what The Brihat Samhita says.Supposing we are on an island, where there

is no class division, then what is Rahu there? What precisely is Rahu,

according to you?i'll wait for your reply.regardsSuryaviswanadham--- In
