Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 ----- Forwarded Message ----vidya suresh <vidyanskguruvayur Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 11:39:58 AMRe: [Guruvayur] Makra Chouva Dear all, This is what i know about rahukaalam, i am sharing with you all. I have heard people say that Raahu Kaalam (or Rahu Kal) is a bad time (it's time to the snake head - Ragu). It is not an auspicious time to start anything for good. Any activitiy or journey started during this time is bound to meet with lack of success or postponement. That's the reason important money or travel related activities are not commenced during this time. You are asked leave your location before or after Rahu Kaalam period. "Rahu Kaalam Durga Pooja" is very famous. They are done specially on Tuesdays 3-4:30pm or Fridays 10:30-12noon. Young people who perform this pooja will excel in studies while the unmarried will be able to find a good life partner, married ladies will have a happy married life and their families will proper, the childless will have children and have a happy and prosperous life. The story behind this Raahu Kaalam Durgra Puja goes like this...A couple is blessed with a child after their continuous prayers to Mother Durga. The child reached her puberty age and the parents decided to seek an astrologer to ask the fate of the child in future. The couple was shocked to know that their daughter has "Ragu Thosam" (very bad time – Ragu controlling her time ) and the ninth day from her birthday, a black serpent will bite her to death. Hearing this, the couple rushed to get the protection from Mother Durga. Parvathy takes a vow to save the child. The time comes and as predicted before, Ragu/Rahu (the serpent-head) changes himself as a serpent and try his very best to kill the girl. Each of his attempt been blocked by Shakti and at last Shakti herself reincarnate as the girl and Ragu mistakenly bite Shakti thus made a sinful act. Ragu beg for forgiveness and as a reward he let go the girl. In forgiving his mistakes, Mother Durga tells him that Ragu thosam and Ragu`s influences will ease for those who are performing Pooja for her at Rahu Kaalam (a bad time ) and those who are conducting the pooja will be blessed by Mother Durga.
