Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Dear Madam This was an amazing example. http://jyotishvidya.com/rahu.htm I had been trying to read more about rahu and was trying to find the positive sides of rahu or how rahu can help someone rise and do great. Thank you so much for this one.! I know I should not send one email for every good thing that you do, but for this one, kindly accept this email.!!

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Dear Rajeev, I accept your advice gratefully... I take it that what you're saying is not to put a link inside brackets, is this so? PS: That page (rahu.htm) is a popup page normally accessed from http://jyotishvidya.com/nodes.htm Best Wishes, Mrs. Wendy http://JyotishVidya.com ___ - " RajeevM " <rajeevmundra <jyotish-vidya > Wednesday, June 18, 2008 1:16 PM Re: Rahu: Protector or Obstrucor of Dharma Dear Madam One idea when links are posted.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Dear Group, To avoid any confusion, I should distinguish between Jupiter/Guru and Venus/Guru of demons. As we know Venus is karaka for 7th house of desires whilst Jupiter is karaka for the two primary houses of dharma (5, 9). Venus has no connection with the dharma bhavas and does not, as far as I understand, have the ability to sway the demons to the side of dharma. The following article (pasted from another site) may be useful in understanding the difference between Jupiter and Venus in this respect. Pasted Article: In Vedic myth Venus, or Sukra, is known as the Guru, or teacher of the ASURAS, or one of the two camps of the Vedic deities. Sukra therefore is a Brahmin, or the highest priestly order, and is considered the forefather of the Brig lineage of sages from ancient India. In Vedic myth the Asuras are the demonic aspect of the divine and, like many of the ancient creation myths, are locked in eternal battle with the Devas, the auspicious aspect of the Divine. In one episodic myth the Devas are particularly concerned in their battle with Asuras because Venus knows the mantra of immortality to raise the dead. This of course gave the Asuras an unfair advantage in their battle with the Devas. So Jupiter, or Brihaspati, the guru to the Devas, sends his son Kaca (brightness) to study under Sukra. Sukra has a beautiful daughter Devayani (way to the gods), and she is quite taken with Kaca. Now, the Asuras know what Kaca is up to, so like all good demons they kill him. Devayani, of course, grieves for him and tells father, so Sukra repeats the mantra and Kaca comes back to life. Then the demons kill Kaca again. Once again Devayani complains, and once again. Sukra repeats the mantra and Kaca come back to life. Undeterred, the demons go about killing Kaca and Sukra keeps resurrecting him. So the demons get a particularly demonic idea and this time they kill Kaca and grind him up into a fine powder and put him in Sukra's wine. Sukra drinks the wine, Devayani begins her grieving, and in response Sukra repeats the mantra, but this time he has a stomachache as Kaca speaks from inside him. At last the demons appear to be happy. But, they ironically bring about the very thing they were trying to prevent, for Sukra reveals the mantra of immortality to Kaca, so when Kaca tears himself out of Sukra's body he will repeat the mantra and raise Sukra from the dead. This myth explains why all Brahmins committed to spiritual life are not allowed to drink wine, and one of the epithets of Venus is: the one who " produces stomach problems " .
