Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Sreejith ji, Your article on the temples of Kumbakonam is most illuminating. However, one point is wrong, namely: <<<The eight planet is called Rahu. Rahu is allotted 10 1/2 hours in seven days of the week. On each day 1-1/2 hours is allotted for Rahu. This one and a half hour is known as Rahu Kalam. The ninth planet is known as Ketu. For Ketu also the same is allotted. This one and a half hour is known as Yama Handam>>> Actually, Yama Gantam is inauspicious on Thursdays because Yama Gantam is said to be an illegitimate issue of Guru. However, it is good on all the other days. Birth during Yamagantam on any day, including Thursday, is said to be auspicious. ~~~~~~~ Balaji Narasimhan * http://www.sherlock-holmes.com/balaji.htm Author, Sherlock Holmes: Solutions from the Sussex Downs Editor, The Partial Art of Detection ~~~~~~~ Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
