RAHU SHANTI PUJA | LIVE ONLINE PUJA

Rahu shares an immense significance in Vedic Astrology as a shadow planet. Both, Rahu and Ketu are immortal form of the Asura Svarbhanu, who drank ‘Amrit’ or the elixir of immortality. Amrit emerged by the churning of ocean by Asuras and Devtas. At that time, Svarbhanu drank Amrit while pretending to be a Devta. Lord Vishnu in the form of Mohini then cut off his head and split his body in two pieces. The head became Rahu while the rest of the body, Ketu. Rahu and Ketu are the soldiers or the military amongst the Navgrahas (9 Planets). Astronomically, Rahu is referred to as the North Lunar Node, while Ketu is the South Lunar Node. Rahu and Ketu denote the points of intersection of the paths of the Sun and the Moon. They are located 180° apart. Thus, they are an integral part of the eclipses.
