Rahu Mahadasha - Experience and how remedies are helping me

[Kunal]

Dear Saindhavi ji,
As you have mentioned lighting of diya facing west for saturn, Please kindly clarify if it is to be done in the morning / evening.

I believe it has to be done in evening after sunset (That's the usual time of remedies for Saturn).Though I'll want Saindhavji to confirm it.

@Saindhaviji

I read up about bhava/chalit kundali's (I mentioned a question regarding those in my previous posts).It appears that the way it should be taken is that the planets give results of the bhav that they're placed in ,in the bhav chart while the nature of the results depend on the rasi and house that they occupy in the rasi chart (D1).Even aspects are to be taken from rasi chart.

[Saindhavi]

Kunal,

Yes you're right about Bhava-Rashi charts. Lagna chart is the primary chart and no other chart supersedes it.

Uniquev,

Kunal is right. Til oil diya for Saturn should be ideally lit facing West in the evening after Sunset. But if for some reason it's inconvenient, then you can light it in the daytime after taking bath.

Govindaram,

Your condition reflects Rahu Mahadasha, but you are facing so many problems because a lot of planets are in a problematic position in your chart. So, I'll suggest overall remedies for all these planets -

1 - Wear white sandalwood necklace.

1a - Also, wear the Anantamool roots tied to your upper right arm. You can get the addresses of shops selling Anantamool roots online. It's an Ayurvedic herb.

2 - Light 9 diyas daily - 1 in centre and 8 diyas surrounding it facing 8 directions. Use Til oil (Sesame oil) in the 2 diyas facing West and South-West. In all other diyas, use either ghee or refined oil.

3 - After invoking Ganesha's name, recite Gayatri Mantra 108 times daily, followed by Hanuman Chalisa, either Vishnu sahasra nama or Lakshmi Nrisimha Karavalambam and Sri Suktam from Rig Veda, Subrahmanyam Bhujangam, Mahamrityunjaya Mantra 108 times and Devi Suktam from Rig Veda.

4 - Get a priest to recite Durga Saptashati in your name once now and after this, once every Navaratri i.e., just before Rama Navami and during Duga Puja.

5 - Feed crows daily. Do charity for orphans, handicapped, poor and menial workers from time to time.

6 - Whenever possible, offer lotus flower to Goddess Lakshmi and vermillion to Lord Hanuman.

[Saindhavi]

Kunal,

Thanks for the long feed back!

About the genuineness of sandalwood - this is why I suggested a government emporium, where prices are regulated and quality is assured. If they say this is sandalwood, you can be sure this is sandalwood.

Future studies plan - With malefic Rahu, MBA is not a good idea. How about MSc in Computer Science? You may also do a job for a while and then go for MSc Computer scince.

Bhava-Rashi - You have got it right below.

Past connections - It seems to me this is more a way of Rahu keeping you still in his vortex of illusion.

Problems in marriage for both - Frankly speaking, so far I have seen no one with malefic Ketu in 7th who got married. Fortunately, you both have a protected 2nd house of family and that route goes via Saturn - that's why I suggested finding someone with Saturn - influenced Lagna. Still Ketu will create problems for both of you.

Yes, Saturn-influenced people are hard hearted and very practical. But it seems to me you both are destined for practical partners in this life. Besides, Saturn-influenced people value family and they are usually good to those with whom they have a family bond. So, it's not such a bad idea.

This applies to both of you - weak chances of marriage, strong possibility of no marriage and if marriage happens, then problems in marital life. I suggested remedies as much as I know. After this, it is God's will.

I do not see a chance for both of you getting married to each other. So, it's best to forget her. I know it's difficult, but that's the way to come out of this illusion. This also answers your other questions regarding this issue.

Remedies for her - Don't worry if you can't tell her. I have said earlier that we get a proper astrological reading when there is time for it and we also get proper remedies when there is time for it. Perhaps the time for her has not yet come to know the remedies. She is going through the worst phase of Rahu Mahadasha and most probably, Rahu won't let her use the remedies even if you tell her. I am not being insensitive; I speak from my own experiences of Rahu Mahadasha.

If this is the time for her to know the remedies, or whenever the time comes for her to know the remedies, either you'll come in contact with her and the environment will be such that you'll be able to tell her the remedies, or she will meet someone else who will give her the correct remedies. So, don't worry about it. Just wait for the right moment.

Saturn-Venus aspect etc - Saturn is regarded as more powerful than the smaller planets such as Venus and Mercury. With Mars it depends upon the sign and house they are in. Still, Saturn is regarded as stronger in most cases. Sun and Jupiter are regarded as stronger than Saturn when they have a 7th aspect on Saturn, unless they are debilitated or in transition zone or if Jupiter is combust.

Thanks Saindavi ji & Kunal for your clarification.

Haven't yet been able to get the white sandalwood.

I'm thinking of MBA (again) 'cause ,firstly, I just did internship(s) as a programmer and web developer.It turned out to be a pain though the appreciation I got really put me on the top.I really love programming but I love to code out of my mind and not what someone else wants me to so am more inclined towards freelancing ,selecting projects that I wish to work on.Otherwise,my area of interest in game programming.Unfortunately,Mumbai university doesn't host that course.Other options are financially out of reach to be honest.

Now,my initial plans were to do BMS+MBA,but taking up Maths and IT as selective subjects in junior college made me more inclined towards IT.I'm was a commerce student otherwise and that's what I studies for two years (in junior college) and did pretty well in accounts.Now,am considering MBA-IT,thinking that MBA+IT is a good combination that can help me with a good job and pay.Better to be a manager than working your butt off as a programmer.So am considering.....However,if I've to do MBA then it may not be possible without first working for a few years,maybe 2 or 3 and collecting enough amount to pay for my fees.

Bhava-Rashi - You have got it right below.

Past connections - It seems to me this is more a way of Rahu keeping you still in his vortex of illusion.

I'm coming out of it slowly,now.I feel the optimism sometimes these days.Only a month or two back I couldn't sleep,couldn't focus was burning inside.Way better now.Probably Jupiter's dasa is taking hold of me for the better.

Problems in marriage for both - Frankly speaking, so far I have seen no one with malefic Ketu in 7th who got married. Fortunately, you both have a protected 2nd house of family and that route goes via Saturn - that's why I suggested finding someone with Saturn - influenced Lagna.

This applies to both of you - weak chances of marriage, strong possibility of no marriage and if marriage happens, then problems in marital life. I suggested remedies as much as I know. After this, it is God's will.

Am still confused as to how other astrologers could predict my marriage without any signs of hesitation or worries on their face or in their words.Probably they thought that it wasn't the right time to reveal it,then?
Have you seen many charts with Rahu/Ketu in 1/7 axis?What were the general problems they faced?
I thought that every planet has a period of influence and so we experience all pleasures and sorrows.So an event ,though,may occur but sustaining it can be another story altogether.

Besides,in my bhav chart the axis shifts from 1/7 to 2/8 and Venus moves from 8H to 9H.So the house in affect changes though the nature may remain same (house affected change from 1,7,8 to 2,8,9 but nature of result the same).

This is interesting and am thinking of posting a question regarding my marriage in the other section in this forum.I'd like you to post your views and interpretations there and would love to hear from other members as well.I'm sure I'll learn new aspects in the process.

I understand/And no ,I don't think you're being insensitive.On the contrary,I would like to thank you again for your time,patience and understanding.Further reading of some classical texts that I recently managed to get and certain threads on this forum gave me more insight on her horoscope and helped me understand why she behaved the way she did.There was an interesting thread on this forum that talked about Sun/Saturn mutual 7 aspect and especially when they both are in strength (both from own house,Sun's own house also being his mooltrikon).I cant remember the name of the thread atm.

Saturn-Venus aspect etc - Saturn is regarded as more powerful than the smaller planets such as Venus and Mercury. With Mars it depends upon the sign and house they are in. Still, Saturn is regarded as stronger in most cases. Sun and Jupiter are regarded as stronger than Saturn when they have a 7th aspect on Saturn, unless they are debilitated or in transition zone or if Jupiter is combust.

Yes,I managed to understand this a few days back.I'm still learning and have a long way to go.It's slow but steady and I feel I've started real early at the age of 20.Thanks for the explanation

Edit-can't reply to your PM.Went to relationships and Marriage section to start the thread I mentioned but instead got interested in learning a bit more so went on to read few threads with an intention to learn
See what I learned!
http://www.lightonvedicastrology.com/ph ... 18&t=15619
I may post my question in few days maybe.

[Saindhavi]

Kunal,

I'll await your post.

About MBA -Yes, you can do a job for a couple of years and then think about doing a course. Jupiter-Saturn and Mercury should help you in that.

I have seen a lot of people with malefic Rahu-Ketu in 1-7 axis and they all follow similar patterns to your life. They get into relationships that don't materialise and ultimately they don't get married and even lose the desire to get married.

2-8 axis gives similar results to 1-7 because 2nd house rules wealth and family - i.e., related to career and marriage and other family matters. Rather, it's likely to give bad results after marriage. But it's the Lagna chart that is primary chart.

Saindhaviji:

I would like to know the connection between white sandalwood and Rahu and how the former is able to control the latter?

Could you also share your experience after wearing white sandalwood. I want to try it but I am still confused about the authenticity of this necklace (I am planing to purchase it online).

Since I have GC yoga, I was planning to apply sandalwood tilak on forehead between eyebrows. Do you feel it will help?

[Saindhavi]

Hi Explorings,

White sandalwood necklace for Rahu is a prescription from the Ayurveda. The Ayurveda has a section on astrology, where it recommends herbal remedies for planetary influences rather than gems or mantras. There are herbal remedies recommended for all the 9 grahas in Indian astrology.

As I wrote earlier, Rahu used to cause havoc in my life - in personal as well as professional spheres even during Jupiter Mahadasha, during even the sukshmantars of Rahu. Many times it happened that I got something very good in life or made very good personal connections thanks to my powerful Jupiter and then, suddenly, without any prior warning, some people plotted against me behind my back and created such a situation that all the good that was done was lost. And this damage was irreversible. Almost in all such cases, I have seen some or other connection with Rahu's minor periods or Gochar even in Jupiter Mahadasha.

I have had to go through my life fighting a series of absolutely unnecessary battles, trying to unravel the work of Rahu, trying to nullify the backstabbing caused by people, but I have always lost in the end.

Since I have worn the white sandalwood necklace, the sudden storms in my life have stopped and I have passed a couple of Rahu's minor periods without any harmful events taking place, although it will take some time before any major good will happen - I have worn it only for 2 months yet. I have also managed to salvage some damaged personal relationships - almost reversed them - even during Rahu's minor phases, which is a surprise for me!

The person who told me about this remedy didn't explain the exact connection between controlling Rahu and sandalwood, so I'm not sure about this. I only know that it's an Ayurvedic prescription.

But symbolically speaking, Rahu is supposed to spread poison in our minds and in the body and poisonous snakes become inactive when they come in contact with sandalwood. I guess that's the connection - the sandalwood acts as an antidote for the mental and bodily poison spread by Rahu. But this is completely my own conjecture; I haven't seen the Ayurvedic section dealing with this issue.

The best way to buy sandalwood necklace is from Karnataka Emporium. If you know someone in Bangalore or in Delhi, it won't be difficult for that person to obtain and send it to you. If you buy online, do check the reliability of the website.

For Guru Chandal yoga, Vishnu sahasra nama is said to be the standard remedy. If you find it too long, you can recite Lakshmi Nrisimha Karavalambam followed by Sri Suktam.

But since you are also going through Rahu Mahadasha, I think sandalwood necklace is the best remedy for you. You can wear the sandalwood tilak on your forehead and apply the paste on your upper arms and also on your body to see if it helps. Tying pieces of white sandalwood in a thin gauze-like cloth around your upper arm may also help.

Respected Members ,
I am just 20 (will become 21 this year) , I seem to be going under Rahu MD .
It started last year .

My observations from what I see (although I dont know what my chart tells cause I am still learning the basics of Vedic astrology ) :

BEFORE RAHU MD :
1. I was vegetarian (almost , although once in 4~6months I would eat non-veg)
2. No urge of Alcohol , hardly had any (once a year may be)
3. Was calm and at peace with my mind
4. Believed in GOD and not astrology

AFTER RAHU MD STARTED :
1. Hardcore non-veg.
2. Have alcohol every weak
3. My mind is fickle , but is down to practicality and more realistic
4. Belief in GOD is there , but dont seem to pray much
5. NOW I BELIEVE IN HARDWORK
6. Seem to be very realistic
7. Very focused about my End life goal
8. Matters with money with my family seems very bad ( My dad is also going under Rahu MD)
but as such , matter with money for me as an individual is kinda good .
9. I believe in astrology now
10. I am more of a manipulator now
11. Seem to take Leadership roles in my job.
12. Suddenly I am very emotional ! never was , but now I am
13. Super quick ups and downs in life (situation changes)
14. Very stubborn and bossy
15. Craving for knowledge
16. Sudden interest in Education and Studies (developed over 3 years , but now its strong as ever )

FINAL OUTCOME :
I seem to be completely different person now , I believe in hardwork , research , practicality , persistance , very ambhitious , a new outlook on things .
But then again , I have been going through Bad dashas (when I was 16~18 it was like living Hell for me ) since birth , only from the age of 28 good dashas will start for me ( jupiter dasha , saturn dasha etc.. )

Things I learnt from this 1 year of Rahu MD :
1. Always have a backup plan for everything
2. Research and planning is the back bone of a successful person
3. Hard work and persistence are they key to success
4. Believe in GOD no matter what , but always believe in ur WORK and URSELF .
5. Spontaneous OUTLOOK is good , but even for the OUTLOOK planning and research is requiered
6. Details in everything is a MUST .



Although it would be nice to see what my chart says abt it .

Request the members to give a look at my chart and if what I have learnt or is going on in Rahu MD is exactly what my chart says or no ?

Dreamboy,

Your Rahu is very benefic and your Rahu Mahadasha will be very good for you.

Yes, when Rahu is benefic, it helps the native to devise realistic, pragmatic strategies of life and you have that kind of Rahu. Your enemies will never win against you.

By praying to Goddess Saraswati, you can derive the maximum benefit of Rahu. Any prayer for Saraswati will do.

Your Jupiter is also good, while Saturn is partially benefic for you.

Light a til oil (sesame oil) diya facing West for Saturn daily.

Thank you for ur knowledgeable insight
I appreciate the time you took to read my post and see my chart .

I generally go to Shani temple on saturdays (lately after Rahu MD started I dont seem to go to temples much )
and offer the Til ka Diya as you mentioned above .

But as you have mentioned I must do it everyday , should I do it in some temple or house pooja room will do ?

Thanking ,
DreamBoy~

[Saindhavi]

You can light the til oil diya in the Puja room of your house daily. Only, it should face towards the Western direction.

Lighting in the evening is the best. But you can light in the morning after bath, if evenings are not convenient.

[DragonsA$$]

Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge

Thanking,

As I have pointed out earlier, yours is a classical case of KSY where all planets and ascendant are trapped between Rahu-Ketu on top of it you are undergoing Ra MD.

You start with Ra-Sun dasha on Dec 10. Sun is currently conjunct with Rahu and leaves Scorpio on Dec 17. Things should improve from June 2012, effects will be seen from mid-Jan onwards.

Have you done Kal Sarpa Shanti? If not get it done. Ra MD is particularly problematic if you have KSY. Till you get it done, light lemon lamps and also do shiva abhishek with sugarcane juice and honey.

Here is link for doing abhishek at home: http://lightonvedicastrology.com/phpBB3 ... 731#p98731[/quote]

Thanks saindhavi ji !!

[sahana]

Dear Saindhavi ji,

I had posted about my prevailing Rahu Mahadasha on this thread 2 months ago and got guidance and views from Explorings, Astroguy and KrishnenduDas ji. I have got encouraging views that prospects for marriage are good in the coming months. With god's grace, i hope for things to fall in place.

Although i have been quite resilient, there are times when the anguish shakes up my optimism. I quickly bounce back though.
Will sandalwood beads be helpful for me as well? With rahu-ketu wreaking havoc for me, may be it can give some support. I wanted to know if i get suitable work opportunities outside India in the long run, will it be fruitful and work out for me? My birth details are as below from my previous post.
Can you kindly take time to look into my chart?

Thanks&Regards,
Sahana

I have been a guidance seeker on this forum. This thread caught my attention as it was related to the dasha i have been going through for over a decade. So i felt like writing here.

Being a novice, I am not sure about the effects considering that Rahu is in the Vrischika ascendant.
It started in '98 and has been kind of a roller coaster ride since then!! In the initial 2-3 years, i was doing well at work. But there was some inexplicable anxiety and fear which did not let me assert myself for further academic pursuits. A good friendship which we tried to take further towards marriage did not work out due to objections from the guy's family.
Overall, I've had a fair share of success on the work front from around 2000 upto 2006. After deliberate thoughts, had taken a break from career around 2007. Pursued my interests in arts and music closely. Had been involved in voluntary work. Completed a certification program recently which i hope to leverage in my job. But the personal setbacks had an impact, had lost the drive to get back to the mainstream work. Through the tough times, have tried to reflect on myself, gather myself and bounce back with optimism. I am planning to get back which i hope will happen soon with god's grace.

The focused efforts at home towards marriage in the last 5 years have been futile. It has been like a pattern....what seems like a relationship potential for a marriage suddenly disintegrates and it's all over. The proposal seems fine at the outset, but over a period of time it slips out as though it was fated to have the disappointment. May be, saturn's aspect on Venus and Moon is also causing delay. The area where i am eager to see the light at the end of the tunnel is marriage.

My date of birth details are below
Date : 8-Mar-75
Place : Mysore, Karnataka
Time: 00:33Hrs
female

I request the members to give your views. Will the coming months be favorable for job prospects and marriage?

[Saindhavi]

Srimedico,

No, it's the other way round in your chart - exalted Sun is well-placed in 7th and is trying to give you benefic relations in personal and professional life.

However, being afflicted with Rahu, Sun's benefic effects are tainted and Rahu destroys the benefic effects given by Sun - especially in the domain of relationships. This is the primary cause of your relationships not being successful.

Whether you get the Mahadasha or not, Saturn's malefic influence will always be there in your chart and Saturn is in your 2nd house, destroying the gains in the fields of wealth and family, including marriage prospects. Thus, Saturn is helping your Rahu to destroy your relationships.

Saturn's aspect on Mars in 8th house is also not good.

Saturn is Yogakaraka for Libra Lagna, but here its placement is not benefic. Similarly, Rahu is a friend of the Libra Lagna, but here its placement is not benefic.

All of them ultimately serve the aim of Ketu in your Lagna, who is suppressing the growth of your Lagna, is making you isolated and is stopping you from deriving the full benefit of your Libra Lagna, which is ruled by Venus and is essentially a materialistic and expansionist Lagna.

The saving grace is Moon in 10th, aspected by Jupiter, though your Gaja Kesari Yoga is not attaining its full effect because Jupiter is debilitated and aspected by Saturn.

So, your Rahu and Ketu both are malefic and also Saturn. Besides, Sun, Mars and Jupiter are also in bad position.

Remedies for you -

1 - Wear white sandalwood necklace and tie Ashwagandha roots in a thin gauze-like cloth around your upper arm.

You can get sandalwood necklace in a Karnataka Emporium.

Alternatively, you can tie white sandalwood pieces in a thin gauze-like cloth and wear it as a pendant around your neck in a thread.

Ashwagandha roots can be obtained from a shop selling Ayurvedic herbs. Addresses of such shops can be found online.

2 - Light 4 diyas daily - one with til oil (sesame oil) facing West and the other 3 with ghee or refined oil facing East, South and North.

3 - Recite daily - Ganesha Atharvashirsha, any hymn for Saraswati, Gayatri Mantra 108 times, Hanuman Chalisa, Lakshmi Nrisimha Karavalambam followed by Sri Suktam, Mahamrityunjaya Mantra 21 times, Ravana Krita Shiva Tandava Stotram and Devi Suktam from Rig Veda.

4 - Feed crows daily.

5 - Pray to your family deity and gram devata whenever appropriate.

[Saindhavi]

Sahana,

Explorings is very good in reading charts, especially about Rahu related issues. So, I don't feel the need to see your chart, but since you have asked me, I jot down below what I feel -

You description of relationship pattern is a classic example of Rahu Mahadasha.

The prime cause of the marriage related problems is your Rahu-Ketu malefic in 1-7 axis. Ketu destroys your marriage prospects and Rahu suppresses the overall growth of your Lagna.

Besides, your Saturn has malefic aspect on your 10th house of career, 2nd house of wealth and family including marriage and 5th house of creativity and intellect, though Jupiter and Venus protect this house. Thus, Saturn is helping Rahu to achieve its malefic effects.

To be very frank, I have never seen a person with malefic Ketu in 7th getting married, unless there is another benefic influence on the 7th house.

Your saving grace is Jupiter in 5th, from where it aspects Rahu. Venus, though enemy of Jupiter, is also exalted in 5th. Venus is the ruler of 7th and also natural Karaka for marriage. Venus is also good in the Navansha.

Rahu-Ketu are much better in the Navansha, so remedies may prove benefic for you. You can try and see what happens.

Jupiter Mahadasha may take you abroad for work and residence.

Remedies for you -

Thank you Saindhavi ji for taking time to see my chart and your detailed insight. I am hoping that the Jupiter and Venus combo can overcome the malefic effects.

I appreciate your remedial suggestions. I have been chanting Lakshmi Karavalambam Stotra and Vishnu Sahasranamam regularly which i shall continue with other shlokas you have suggested. I'll definitely try to get the sandalwood beads and Ashwagandha roots.
We had visited Kukke Subrahmanya and Kalhasthi temples for Parihaara poojas. Have been lighting til diya for Lord Saturn on saturdays and perform Naga pooja and milk abbhishekham for Lord Subrahmanya on the Shashti day. Probably it is the strong connection with the Supreme Lord that has kept me going and keeps me going to find that peace with myself and face whatever comes my way.

Thank you again for reading my chart and sharing your thoughts.

Regards,
Sahana

Respected Saindhavi ji,
I got a Birth rectification done sometime back form learned members of the forum. and due to this all the earlier predictions and guidance that i had received about my ongoing Rahu Mahadasha now remain no more meaningful. I shall be grateful to you if you could kindly throw some light on how the ongoing Rahu mahadasha would be for me from career and marrige point of view? ( i am in a ghovt service)

regards
Puja Jha
