New Delhi | December 5: Do you know why Rahu is called a malicious planet? Probably because of the adverse effects it produces in one’s life when ill placed in the birth chart. If a person is hit by Rahu, then the individual badly needs some tips and remedies to please this stubborn planet. This comes when Rahu is present in one’s birth chart and can show adverse effects in one’s life.
A person may find itself lost in delusion or facing instability in your life. These challenges might stem from the presence of Rahu in birth chart.
In Jyotishi or Vedic Astrology, Rahu, is an imaginary planet. It is not a physical celestial body but a mathematical point in astrology, which represents the north node of the Moon.
Rahu is believed to bring bad luck, misfortune, greed, dissatisfaction, as well as illusion and delusion. However, when Rahu is place at an auspicious position in one’s birth chart, it may bring huge success, recognition and fame.
Rahu Mahadasha is a time-period that is governed by Rahu, a shadow planet or “Chhaya Graha.” Its Mahadasha spans for 18 years in an individual’s life and often brings significant changes, opportunities, and challenges. The impact of this period can have both beneficial and dangerous, depending on the placement and strength of Rahu in the birth chart.
Going to the core Vedic astrology, it is to be noted that Sun and Moon serve as the enemies of Rahu whereas Venus, Mercury and Saturn are considered friendly with this planet.
Now, it’s time to discuss the ways to minimize the adverse effects of Rahu which it produces during Mahadasha period:-
- Worship Maa Durga – Worshipping Maa Durga can minimise the hindrances in your life, as Maa Durga is the presiding deity of Rahu. It is suggested to chant ‘Om Durgaye Namaha’ mantra 108 times on Wednesday to reduce the effects that can turmoil your life.
- Wear Hessonite – As every planet has its one precious stone, Hessonite is one of the navratnas that is governed by Rahu. Wearing it can help to reduce adverse effects of Rahu significantly. However, it is suggested to wear only after consulting an astrologer.
- Chant Rahu Mantra – Chanting Rahu Mantra ‘Om Raa(n) Rahave Namah’ and Rahu Strotam can help you to attain the benefits and you can please Rahu easily.
- Donation – Since Rahu is a planet that is associated with rebirth and karma, making donations of items associated with the imaginary planet can help you to attain the positive aspects of Rahu and to reduce its negative implications. Things that can be donated are – black sesame, Rahu Yantra, copper, etc.
- Rudraksha – It is suggested by astrologer to wear an 8-mukhi Rudraksha to minise the negative implications of Rahu.
- Perform Yagya – Since ages, Yagya has always been an essential part of Hindu customs and traditions and performing a Yagya or Havan or Homam can help you to pacify Rahu and mitigate the obstacles created by it in your life.
- Donation of blue and black elements – You may surprise to know but the colour blue and black is associated with Rahu and donating items of these colours can help to tackle the hindrances created by Rahu in your life.
- Feed Birds and Animals – Consider feeding to animals and birds, especially crows, cows, dogs, pig, as it pleases Rahu.
