What is Rahukala?/ Swami and Anil kumar...Sai pearls...

What is Rahukala?...Hmm, all right. I wanted to make the discussion a little

lighter.“Swami, what is Rahukala?”Rahukala: You must have heard devotees saying

3 to 4.30 A.M. is Rahukala; or, 5 to 6.30 A.M. is Rahukala. Even today I do not

understood anything about it. And I have no faith in it -- let me be very

honest about it. So, when Baba talks about it and when devotees are talking

about it, for courtesy and decency, I keep my mouth shut. But I have no

knowledge of Rahukala. I asked the question to make the discussion a little

lighter, because it was very heavy up to this point. (Laughter)So I asked

Swami, “What is Rahukala?” (though personally, I have no faith in it).

-Rahukala is the time that is inauspicious. It indicates the planetary

conjunction and the position of planet earth near the equator as it revolves

around the sun. That is called ‘Rahukala’.”“Oh-ho. Swami, what

does it have to do with me? When the planet is rotating like that, when the

position of the sun is like that, what am I having to do with it?”Then He said,

“During that period, there will be some poisonous element in the sun rays. One

has got to be careful. All those things that you do during that time will not

be fruitful or successful. Therefore, Rahukala is very much observed.” That's

what Bhagavan said.All right. But I did not proceed further because I am not

very much interested in the topic, first of all. And secondly, I did not

question further because I would have to exhibit my ignorance on the topic. I

didn’t want to take the risk. So, I just kept quiet with folded hands.
