Planet Rahu: Religious Significance and Impact On Life

अर्धकायं महावीर्यं चन्द्रादित्यविमर्दनम। 

सिंहिकागर्भसम्भूतं तं राहुं प्रणमाम्यहम।।

ardhakāyaṃ mahāvīryaṃ candrādityavimardanama। 

siṃhikāgarbhasambhūtaṃ taṃ rāhuṃ praṇamāmyahama।।   

Meaning: The One who is half-bodied, full of courage and might, capable of afflicting the Sun and the Moon and born from the womb of Sinhika, I bow and fold my hands in front of that Rahu.

According to Hinduism, Swarbhanu, the son of Sinhika, was quite powerful and intelligent. During the process of Samudra Manthan, both Demons and Gods struggled to lay their hands on the Nectar of Immortality, called Amrit. It was then when Lord Vishnu took the form of beautiful Mohini and tricked Demons into drinking common water instead of Amrit.

Swarbhanu caught this trick and after transforming himself into a God, sat in the line amongst the Gods. However, as soon as he tasted some drops of the Nectar, Lord Surya and Lord Chandra (Sun and Moon respectively) revealed his true identity in front of Lord Vishnu, who out of anger separated Swarbhanu’s torso from his head with his Sudarshan Chakra. Since by then he had become immortal, his head became Rahu, whereas his torso became Ketu. 

This is the reason why Eclipses occur, as it is believed that Rahu and Ketu formed an enmity with the Sun and the Moon, and caused this phenomena. Rahu and Ketu are considered shadow planets in retrograde motion. Rahu doesn’t rule any particular zodiac sign, but Virgo is considered to be under its governance. It is expected to be an exalted state in Gemini and debilitated in Sagittarius. 

If Rahu is placed with the Lord of the Trikona house in the Kendra House in a kundli, or with the Lord of the Kendra House in the Trikona House, it creates an effective Raj Yoga. in such a situation, it allows a native to reach the heights of success. The grace of Rahu helps a native exceed in Politics and Diplomatic Relations.
