Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Rahu is not created by motion, bade bhai! Rahu is created by intesection! Vishnu's chakra (perhaps lunar orbit) intersected the projected orbit of earth (astrological path of sun) and bisected the latter into two domains: The northern domain ruled by or represented by Rahu while the southern domain was ruled or represented by ketu. Next time you have your conversation with God, please ask on my behalf and bring back the Divine channeled answer to share with us great unwashed! In the meantime, we will reinforce the soapbox so that it can hold your weight! :-) Regards, Rohiniranjan , " utkal.panigrahi " <utkal.panigrahi wrote: > > > Exactly like Rahu ...
