Ketu remedy

Post by lefteye » 03 Oct 2019

Ketu indicates the source of past birth's karma. Surprisingly, the chart in this birth will be a continuation of our previous births-no escapes. That karma has to be taken care in advance and that is the point of using astrology in a useful way.It will detach the karakatwa of that bhava(s) wherever it gets connected to-including dispositors.

We will not be aware of the abrupt changes a karmic-malefic- planet like Ketu can inflict. Being the root cause, it is always better to analyse Ketu in a chart as a preventive measure.

Regular worship of Ganapathy is a must.Offering a small idol of flag made in copper(used for shad upachara in temples) to Shiva temple or Ganeshji's temple is a good remedy.

Another remedy for Ketu is the reciting of Shiva Panchakshari Stotra.

Ketu (17,000X or 4 malas a day for 40 days) Ṛg Veda, Maṇḍala 1, Sūkta 6, verse 3

केतुं कृवन्नकेतवे पेशो मर्या अपेशसे समुषद्भिरजायथाः
ketuṁ kṛvannaketave peśo maryā apeśase samuṣadbhirajāyathāḥ

This is the same mantra for doing jhanda upachara during vaidik puja.

Can any one explain the link between flag and Ketu?

Since like Saturn, Ketu is also a deeply karmic planet, what works best to appease it - prayers and meditation or acts of charity to Ketu representatives like dogs?

Also, as you mentioned in the post on Saturn and remedies according to each house it sits in, does anything like this apply to Ketu as well given its karmic role?

Reality is to suffer effects of curses to some extent. If we recall stories in purnas , we can understand this. There was no immediate relief given even in the times of super human characters.
Because the curses are out of crying souls suffered due to our deeds-knowingly or unknowingly done by us.Karmas are some sort of forces of invisible celestial equilibrium.

Ketu is the source of pending karma we are about to encounter in this birth. Rahu,Saturn and Badakesh will support Ketu's mission by misleading us. That is the basic technology of grahas to trap us in their meticulously woven net.

A simple example would be ketu in 2nd. It will not allow the native to treat his family as first priority. It will not force the native to save money for future. Correspondingly, Rahu in 8th will lead the native to get indulged either in carnal quest or spiritual quest. Net result of both variations is a damaged financial front.
If Ketu is in 4th , Rahu in the tenth will become very ambitious in seeking power and status, and Ketu in fourth will sacrifice the inner alter, home and emotional life.
Ketu in the fifth house will reject the development of our unique individuality and creativity. Rahu in eleven will become infatuated with name, fame, material gains or sacrifice for the greater good

That is how the nodes operate as a continuity of previous birth. In D7, ketu's association is important to assist /assure a child in some cases.

Ketu's period/sub or sub sub period will give the first child. I have seen this as a dictum in one of the original KP books and found it to be true also.

Ketu can be approached for shanti by worshiping Ganeshji. It is not possible for all to chant mantras.But that is the effective remedy.But we have to get initiation from an upasaka. It will be difficult to get a competent Guru. Observing fast on Chaturthi tithi is an alternate. Simultaneously,we have to concentrate on the bhava where Ketu is sitting to improve our outlook upon it.Because it is the negligence we shown to that bhava in previous birth, we suffer out of it in this birth. This account has to be settled by pujas/japa/donation w.r.t that bhava's planets and karakas.

What about ganesh stotras? Are stotras in general as effective as mantras? Since not all of us can take initiation or fast, would stotras work as an alternate remedy?

@Lefteye
Why did you recommend Shiv Panchakshara Stotram for Ketu Remedy? What are the astrological reasons?
