Decoding ‘’Rahu’’ and ‘’Ketu’’ in Hindu Astrology:The belief in the influence of planets on human life is a deep-rooted concept in ancient wisdom that forms the basis of Hindu astrology. Among these players are Rahu and Ketu also known as the North and South lunar Nodes or shadow planets. These two don’t have physical form like other planets of our solar system but their astrological significance cannot be undermined hence believed to affect different aspects of human life. This article explores various symbols, mythologies, astrological implications and practical applications related to Rahu and Ketu in Vedic Astrology.

The Legendary Origins of Ketu and Rahu:An understanding about Rahu and Ketu needs one to comprehend myths behind them since they are closely associated with early Indian cosmological beliefs.

According to Hindu mythology, Swarbhanu was an Asura (demon) who disguised himself as a Deva (god) to taste the nectar churned out during Samudra Manthan (the cosmic oceanic churning) which would grant immortality (amrita). Vishnu cut off his head using Sudarshan Chakra after realizing this fact thereby separating it into two parts: Rahu(the severed head) and Ketu(rest of its body).

By means of their sacred lives, teachings, and legacies, those first ones established a lively religion for Sikhs to follow into the way of truthfulness, equality, and worship of the heavens; as a result millions people received this way of life.Beginning with Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism, each Guru played a pivotal role in shaping the ethos and practices of the Sikh faith. Guru Nanak Dev ji, whose birthplace is Talwandi (this village is now known as Nanakana Sahib), took long journeys throughout geographical locations to spread the ideology of ikonkar (the notion of the formless and the omnipresent divine) together went with his followers and the concept of Simran (meditation on the divine name) and kar sema (selfless service).Guru Nanaks spiritual successor, Guru Angad Dev Ji, continued the mission of spreading Sikh teachings, furthering the practice of Naam Simran and promoting humility as a cornerstone of spiritual growth. Through his leadership, the Gurmukhi script was standardized, which allowed to set apart Sikh scripture as well as its conservation.Guru Angad Dev Jis emphasis on the importance of education and community welfare left an indelible mark on Sikh society.
