Rahu & Ketu...and about them

[stalin.v]

Hello rahul,

    Please dont use rishi as prefix in your name unless you leave your family and wealth and do penance.

Ketu and rahu story is familiar among hindus. You have to read koormavathar of vishnu in which , it is said to be that vishnu incarnate as tortoise to get the nectar from ocean. Vasuhi snake, and mountain was used by deva and asura. Initially allala poison comes from their effort which can desroy the world. so , To save the world, shiva drink the poison. Hence his neck turn into blue color. After obtaining nectar, ketu and rahu (asuras) drink the nectar along with devas. Sun and moon gods informed it to vishnu. hence rahu and ketu are capitivitated by vishnu. since they consumed nectar, they did not die. so the head of the snake is attached to rahu's body and snake's body is attached with ketu's head. So, ketu is not headless. This is the reason why sun and moon are inimical to nodes.
Rahu is black snake.
ketu is red snake.

P.s: Please surf net before asking question. If you did not get answer ask question in the forum

P.p.s
I highighted the story in points. But there is so much events i did not mention in koormavathar.

Regards

Hi,

There are so many things in this link.
Which one did you mean?It would be nice if you are specific

We were talking of Ketu not having a head; which you did not agree.

Thanks,

Hi,

Looks like there exist another view of Ketu!
A snake with a human head.

Reminds me of many views of one god/goddess.

Lets keep the one that fits us....smile

hello rishirahul,

  Youre absoltely wrong. It is not another view. Peoples generally say that nodes are headless while refering astrology in particular. It happens because they cannot master all subject of hinduism. But it is sin to mislead peoples via "escapism".

Oh ok,

Maybe I do not know everything, then; after all no one knows everything.
And Hinduism & astrology are Large subjects to master, specially in Kaliyuga.

But whoever said that nodes are headless is wrong.. Everyone knows that.

If I have created a sin via escapism, I apologise.

As far as I know, 'Swarbhanu' was severed during Samudra Manthhan.
(Q) Which part of it was Rahu & which part was Ketu?

After you confirm this I/We can get enlightened about what happens after that.

Hello rishirahul,

  After the series of our discussion, i searched for information regarding rahu and ketu in net and found some facts.
They are :

1. Rahu and ketu, and their physiques where wrongly labelled and misinformed in some websites. The picture i posted regarding rahu and ketu is wrongly labelled. Hence i have wrong idea regarding the physique of them for years

2 so, It is true that rahu has human head and snake body and ketu has snake head and human body. so, you're right in this discussion. So, i am wrong in this discussion.

3. Initially i thought that it is unnecessary discussion. so, i was bit harsh. my apologies for the same

4. Thanks

5.Regards.

[stalin.v]

...

[stalin.v]

So the answer must be one and unique in hindu philosophy and it's idea/concept.
If there is two or more varying ideas in any ideas of hinduism, there must be strong reason behind. We have to search for it.

Thanks for this discussion and correction

Hi stalin,

No worries, Learning goes on, as you have always mentioned in this thread; though not in the same words.
Some paths while Learning can be 'harsh'. You felt that you were harsh to me; but I dont think you are at all Harsh to "Learning".

While Learning we make so many mistakes!
You did not make 'Real' mistakes at all.

Every God, like man, animals, reptiles, insects can think.... For which all of them have a 'head'.
This is just another way of depicting them.
So these websites are not entirely wrong.

These Hindu mythology has very deep meanings, & we are still Learning this Higher Philosophy.
The more you age & Experience  them, the clearer it becomes; and you are only 27. You will very advanced, if you keep up.

After Swarbhanu's head was severed to form the bodiless Rahu & headless Ketu:=
Ketu was given a boon- a head.

Search, & learn about this.

I admire your desire to Learn.seek!!

The story in the given link explains this.
But it would be practical to think of Rahu as the head, & Ketu as the body for astrological purposes.

Repoducing this part of the story:=The head fell on the other side of Surya. So assume the placement like Chandra, Ketu, Surya and Rahu four of them in a row. So from then onwards Surya had stopped his movement, so that Rahu and Ketu cant join together. All the other planets there after started revolving around Surya. Rahu, Surya and Ketu came into 180 degree placement. Since then Rahu in intention to meet Ketu, is said to have cursed a gurdge against the surya and chandra, and swallows them up which follows an Lunar and Solar Eclipse. When Swarbhanu's head was cut blood dropped on the earth and from that a plant of Garlic & Onion emerged.. Then the Head (Rahu) was taken away by his mother Simhika and nursed for years. The body of the snake was then formed from the neckline of Rahu for transit. The head of snake was formed on Ketu for vision. Rahu worshipped lord Shiva, and Ganpati has the similiar story of his head chopped off and afterwards getting a head of an elephant. Lord shiva blessed Rahu with the body of snake and Ketu with snake head. So by worshipping Ganpati, we can also be blessed by Rahu.

Ahemm...
Rahu and ketu do join! But in doing so, interestingly, they get neutralized
