The North Node of Chandra (Moon) is called Rahu in
Hindu astrology. Rahu is not a material embodiment and is referred to as chaya
graham (Shadow planet). Rahu is the northern point where the path of earth
around Sun cuts the path of Chandra. When Moon, Sun and earth come in the same
plane near to Rahu, the eclipses are caused. Rahu is a malefic and afflicts the
planet he is associated with. He is the signification of any sudden event may
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 culture, obsessive personality,
mass tragedies and mysterious diseases. He causes abortions, rifts in married
life as well as domestic problems. In certain houses in the chart Rahu is
better for example, in the 6th house. Regular propitiation measures
to Rahu removes above problems. The possibility of accidents, snake bites,
allergy etc., are reduced.
Rahu is worshipped in the night on Saturday. Rahu sadhana
is more effective & beneficial if performed on Sarvarth siddhi yoga
falling on Saturday. Rahu is worshipped with the idol made of lead. The sage of
the Mantra is vamdev. The metre is gayatri. The deity is Rahu.
Rahu worship is done with the articles of Rahu with the lamp of mustard oil.
After sadhana, articles of Rahu like hessonite, lead, blue cloth etc.,
should be donated. Feeding an elephant is also considered beneficial for
propitiation of Rahu.
The mantra is to be recited for eighteen thousand
times. 1/10 of homa be done with durva leaves and 1/10 of homa is
done as tarpan and 1/10 of tarpan be done as marzan. After
that the devotee should donate articles of Rahu. After realization of the
mantra Brahmins are fed with rice.
