Garlic has Rahu like effect

---------------------------

>From Sani Mahatmya

 

"The next day Mohini moved among the exhausted churners, the cloth slipping

suggestively from her jug-like breasts, murmuring sweetly to the

still-dazzled asuras while feeding the amrita to the devas all the while.

Rahu disguised himself and, seating himself amidst the gods between the Sun

and Moon, managed to drink a drop of the amrita. Seeing this deception,

those two effulgent orbs speedily snitched to Vishnu, Who severed Rahu's

head with His discus. Since the nectar droplet had by that moment only

reached his neck, Rahu's body fell down dead, but his head lived on, to

torture the Sun and Moon for betraying him. Rahu swallows them with gusto,

but since he is now only a head, the luminaries pass through him, and again

become visible when the eclipse is ended. Rahu's body was later revived and

became Ketu. Garlic sprang up wherever drops of Rahu's blood fell to Earth;

its medicinal qualities are like those of amrita, but it has a Rahu-like

effect on the minds of those who consume it."

As far as garlic having a Rahu like effect on the minds of those who eat it,

as quoted from the "Sani Mahatmya" when I asked Yahu Srestha where this

"Sani Mahatmya" is from he told me that, and I quote: "As far as I can

ascertain it is an East India Vedic text but it's authenticity is unknown."
