RAHU AND KETU or popularly know as MOON'S NODES

Om tatsat.

Sri gurubhyonamaha.

Dear Brothers,

Today some one initiated the Subject Rahu and Ketu. Let us see

somthings about these two.

A special study of the nodes of the moon is absolutely necessary to

a student of symbolism and spiritual path while learing Vedic

Astrology or Spiritual astrology.

The nodes are two centers of intersection of the paths of the earth

and moon. They are centers of threefold magnetic current of earth,

sun and moon. Any Planet appearently in conjuction with one of the

nodes will influence the earth in the particular manner. The

vibration of the planet will be intensified in their negative and

positive expressions.

A planet in conjuction with the ascending node or Rahu poves highly

positive and beneficial. A conjunction with the descending node of

KETU intensifies the negative and evil influence of the planet.

There is a deeper symbolism in the nodes. They work like the two

equinoxes. Rahu has the traits of Aries, and Ketu has that of Libra.

In the chart of a spiritulist, the conjunction of any planet with

one of the nodes either at birth of in devamana dasa or popularly

known as progression will create a great opportunity to raise his

level and reverse the direction the wheel. Even eclipses provide

such opportunities to an advanced student of spiritualism.

The conjunction of sun with the Rahu causes a stir in "Sahasrara"

while that with Ketu affects "Muladhara".

The Conjunction of Moon with the Rahu causes a stir in the "pineal

gland" and with Ketu in "spleen-centre".

In the chart of a average people, a conjuction of the rahu with

venus, jupiter or neptune makes the person instinctively spiritual

and enables him to receive beneficial instructions through

mysterious sources.The study of symbols and glyphs and the alphabet

of the languages of the initiates will draw his attention, a great

truths are revealed.

A conjunction of Mars, saturn, sun or Uranus with ketu in average

man's chart is very likely to cause serious nerve disturbance.

Reflex action of the whole nervous system will experience serious

disturbances and complains like epilepsy, chorea and st vitus dance

are likely to follow.

The remedy to come out of this is to meditate upon serpant standing

onits tail and using a talisman containing the skin of black cobra

will ward off these evil effects.

All languges, religions in world worship the serpant which is the

symbolism of the rahu and ketu and also indication of wisdom.

We will learn more about Rahu and Ketu in forth coming articles.

Interesting to note when i started this article the ascendent at the

time in USA in on ketu which is the lord for "MOKSHA". I noted at

after finishing.

Try observe with any kind of work u do u will be in contact with the

planetory action in positive way else u will have to experience

negative results.

Om.

Indeed, a very valuable reading. However, I would like to add the following for

benefit of the esteemed members.

Sahasrara Chakra. Sahasrara Chakra, located at the crown of the head (in the

sookshma centre of the brain), is the topmost and the chief chakra of the seven

charkas in the human body. As per the Upanishads, this is the abode of Lord

Shiva and corresponds to the Satya Lok. It is stated that its physical location

is in the “Brahmarandhra” or “Dasamadwara” (tenth opening or the tenth door).

Physiologically, this is the anterior fontanelle in the newborn baby – the soft,

hollow space in the crown of the head, which closes with age. After death, if

the Prana come out through this place, the person attains Moksha (Kapala

Moksha). The Sushumna Nadi passes through this place to conjoin with the Brahma,

attaining immortality.

Mooladhara Chakra. Mooladhara chakra is located at the base of the spinal

column, lying between the origin of the reproductory organ and the anus. Here

three important brahma nadis meet – the Ida, Pingala and Sushamna, the one that

passes through the Canalis Centralis, the central hollow canal within the spinal

cord made up of grey and white brain matter. Brahma granthi or the knot of the

Brahma (Kundalini) is located in this chakra. Awakening of the kundalini leads

to attainment of the Darduri sidhi, complete control of breath, mind and semen

(Prana). All sins are destroyed and he acquires knowledge of the past, present

and the future, thereby enjoying the natural bliss (Sahaj Anand).

Disturbance of the Mooladhara Chakra is responsible for skin diseases.

Pineal Gland. The Sahasrara Chakra is associated with this gland.

Physiologically, this gland regulates the water balance in the body; acts as

manager of all glands; controls cerebro spinal fluid and sex desires, and

stimulates nerve growth. Malfunctioning of this glands leads to premature sex

development, increase in water content and high BP.

Spleen. This is a very important, forming part of the overall digestive system.

Most of the food digested in the small intestines is broken down into simpler

products such as the amino acids, monosaccahrides like glucose, monoglycerides

and free fatty acids. These are absorbed by the small intestines and turned into

blood by the spleen. The unabsorbed juices proceed to the large intestines, thus

creating the best sewage system of mother nature.

Now coming to the astrological discussion, if Mooladhara chakra is associated

with skin diseases, Rahu should be associated with this chakra.

Similarly, Ketu is associated with Moksha, and must have association with the

Sahasrara Chakra.

This point is therefore submitted for further clarification.
