Raahu Kalam puja (10:30-12:00pm)

[Guest guest]

Thanks for answering my orginal question about lemon deepam, My

orginal question also included why the puja is done in Raahu kalam,

which is from 10:30am -12:00 pm on fridays, I wanted to know the

significance of the time, as working woman in the US it will be

impossible to do the puja every week.

 

 

Thnaks in advance for your time.

Radhikaji:

 

1. Rahu is pleased by worship of durga. This is one of the reasons

for people having problems with rAhu is asked to worship ambaa.

According to some, more people are by default afflicted by raahu

than any other of the nava graha-s.

 

2. Timing of rAhu kaalam depends on your geographical location. It

is not standard such as 10:30 to 12:00 etc. It is computed based on

the duration of the day (sun rise to sun set). If you search the web

you will get many references on how to do this for your location.

For instance in New York, this friday rAhu kaalam is from 10:55 to

12:06. The changes will be drastic when you go to higher latitudes

(as the duration of day changes throught the year). Only if you are

living with 15 or 20 degreess from equator, this 10:30 to 12:00 ok.

Even there, you will have few minutes this way or that way.

 

3. Ambaa-L is a devotional forum and our interest is understanding

devotional works on shiva dampati. Beyond a point, you will get not

help on this matter.

 

4. What you should do?

 

a) Call your family elders and discuss with them.

 

b) Use their reference for a priest and trusted astrologer and work

out a remedy.

 

c) If your husband, father or son is initiated to upanayana, then

ask them to do sandhya vandanam regularly. There is an element

called "navagraha keshavaadi tarpaNam", that should take care of

many things. This is not my view and it is a view of kAnchi

paramAcharya.

 

d) Go to your local temple and ask them to do navagraha homam.

 

5) If you search the web, you will also learn more.

 

Thanks.
