Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 dear friends since so many doubts arise on the minds of astrologers as well as the natives on what this grahana yoga or gulping of planets is all about, i wish to explain the same. as per mythology rahu and ketu are demons who are famous to deceive and devoid the native of the reality which is positively termed as causing maya and moksha. also as per mythology, rahu gulps sun and ketu gulps moon. as per astronomy, these are two intersection points of the moon's orbit and ecliptic beacuse they cause temporary obstruction of light thereby causing an eclipse. since the light of sun and moon are essesntial and their eclipse is felt by all sentient beings on the earth. be it mythology or astronomy, in the following cases ecliptic affect is felt in a native, in their order: 1. conjunction of sun and rahu 2. conjunction of sun and ketu 3. conjunction of moon and rahu 4. conjunction of moon and ketu 5. rahu in sun's sign leo 6. ketu in sun's sign leo 7. rahu in moon's sign cancer 8. ketu in moon's sign cancer 9. sun in rahu's nakshatra 10. sun in ketu's nakshatra 11. moon in rahu's nakshatra 12. moon in ketu's nakshatra negative affects of grahana yoga are felt more in the mahadasa and anatardasas of rahu and ketu akin to similar affects in KSY. the worst a native can imagine is the combination of grahana yoga and sampoorn kalasarpa yoga viz. sun+rahu and ketu+moon and all planets hemmed one side of the axis. this is supposed to be thousand times more powerful than the ordinary KSY. since rahu and ketu have drunk the amrut (nectar) and have become immortal and were granted devata status by the gods and are worshipped equally with all other seven planets in navagrahapoojas and navagraha homams and since rahu and ketu are allotted the stars equally and have dasha periods akin to other planets, their role in humans is of vital importance. due to the changed desha, kala, vartamana situations, rahu is presented positively because if rahu is powerful in a chart, that native is adept in making strategies (deceiving others) and get his things done. similarly several traits of rahu and ketu are seen positively due to the changed perception and requirements of the changed world. hence i too started telling my customers that if you want this or that trait of rahu or ketu, in that way rahu and ketu are good for you. the most positive inluence of rahu is seen when natives ask about foreign travel, foreign job and forein settlement. with best wishes and blessings pandit arjun , "crystal pages" <jyotish_vani wrote: > > you will have to explain this rahu gulping sun a bit better.
