Guru-Rahu debate-- Rahu ( Asteroid Belt )

[Guest guest]

Dear Arjun-ji,

 

Namsakaar, I do not have much jyotish knowledge, but as regards the

asteroid belt (Rahu ??) between Mars and Jupiter, here is some

reference you may want to look at.

 

 

There is no asteroid belt between Mercury and Venus,except few

objects between Mercury's and Venus'

( Reference 1:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NEAs_by_distance_from_Sun )

 

 

Reference 2:

http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multimedia/display.cfm?IM_ID=850

 

Asteroids are material left over from the formation of the solar

system. One theory suggests that they are the remains of a planet

that was destroyed in a massive collision long ago. More likely,

asteroids are material that never coalesced into a planet. In fact,

if the estimated total mass of all asteroids was gathered into a

single object, the object would be less than 1,500 kilometers (932

miles) across, less than half the diameter of our Moon.

 

Reference 3:

http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/solarsystem/asteroids-ez.html

 

There are two hypotheses about how most of the asteroids formed. One

says they broke off of a mother planet that existed between Mars and

Jupiter. More likely, however, they represent what space was like

before the planets formed, and they are the remnants of that

process -- bits and pieces that never quite joined together.

dear friend mechumla

 

thank you for giving three references.

 

reference 1 of you speaks about no asteriod between mercury and

venus which means no planetary or asteriod formation of ketu.

 

reference 2 of you speaks about how asteriods are formed which are

leftover miniscule pieces of a past existing planet (of which planet

no one is aware of) and also their insignificance even if all of

them are collected and joined together as a planet.

 

reference 3 of you speaks of an existence of such asteriods between

mars and jupiter and hence the possibility of these miniscule

physical asteriods related to rahu. however, these this is still

not sound logic enough considering the second largest number of 18

years under vimshottari accorded to rahu.

 

since rahu and ketu are enjoying equal status like all other planets

with equal stars allocated to them and rahu giving second largest

dasha and ketu giving equal dasha of mars and higher dasha of sun,

these two must be equal or larger planets and not tiny leftover

asteriods in scientific language. of course these are all doubts

from a scientific view and from mythological view, these two demons

rahu and ketu got planetary status and enjoy worship in all

navagraha poojas alongside other benefic devata planets.

 

with best wishes
