"Rahu & Ketu" - An article written by Vishal Aksh


(1) It was perhaps many centuries before creation as per Vedic literatures when the existence of Brhama (The divine creator and the profounder of the Gyana (True knowledge)) occurred and then Brhmadeva saw Vishnu (The divine preserver and the operator of the universe) and because of getting superiority both of them started grappling and suddenly a mighty Shiva linga appeared with a aakashvaani that between them who would see the top or bottom of that Linga will be declared as superior.

(2) That Shivalinga was up to Ardra Nakshatra (As described in Vedic literatures) in Mithuna Rashi (As per Vedic Jyotish) and its other end was in Moola Nakshatra (Nowhere it is given just common sense) in Dhanur Rashi. Ardra nakshatra is ruled by Rahu and its presiding deity is Shiva and Moola nakshatra is ruled by Ketu according to Vedic Jyotish.

(3) So it can be understood that the Rahu and Ketu are the two extreme points of the divine Shiva Linga.

(4) Neither Vishnu nor Brhama reached the bottom and top of that divine Shiva Linga so the Rahu and Ketu are beyond the reach of Vishnu and Brhama. Thus Ardra Nakshtra indicates the highest glory of Parmatma Shiva within known limits and that is why in Vedic Jyotish Ardra Nakshatra is considered to be the Nakshatra ruled by Shiva.

(5) Astrologer with pure devotion towards Shiva (The deity of Rahu), Shakti (Parvati or Durga devoted by person under the influence of Rahu) and Ganesha (the deity of Ketu) can only understand the inner meanings of Rahu and Ketu.
