Rahu The darker Force of the Universe

[Guest guest]

Namaste!!! Personally I think that any being who is so blessed to be

touched by Bhagavan Himself and promoted from asura to Deva by

Bhagavan Personally, such a great and fortunate being deserves our

highest respect.

 

He is powerful and angry, but when he is well-disposed and benefic he

is very powerful to do good. And if he is in a bad position in a

horoscope then that is our bad karma. If Rahu is in a good position in

a horoscope then that is our good karma.

 

In Thailand he is named Pra-Rahu, that means Lord Rahu because he is a

Graha Deva, not an asura. He is one of Nava-graha (no demons allowed).

 

Best rgds,

Richard
