Mantras for South Node (Ketu)

Part 1

Ketu is the planet of spirituality. Ketu represents the spiritual process of evolution. Ketu is also not a material embodiment and is referred to as chaya graham (Shadow planet). Ketu is the southern point where the path of earth around Sun cuts the path of Chandra. Like his counterpart Rahu, he is also the significator of any sudden event be in an accident or a lottery gain. He indicates secrecy, dissatisfaction, hidden enemies, greed, proficiency in foreign and artificial languages like computer languages. He represents foreign or alien religious believes, obsessive personality, mass tragedies and mysterious diseases. He causes abortions, rifts in married life as well as domestic problems. The difference between the significations of Rahu and Ketu is that the effects caused by Ketu are not as severe as those caused by Rahu. However, the mental agony, uncertainty are more. Ketu is considered a worldly malefic and spiritual benefic, as he causes mild amount sorrow nad loss, which ultimately turns the individual to God. Ketu signifies intelligence, liberation, wisdom, non-attachment, deep insight, and psychic abilities. Regular propitiation measures to Ketu removes possibility of accidents, insect bites, allergy etc., The remedial measures to Ketu reduce mental worries and mysterious fears.
