ReVelation on Ra-Hu and Ketu:

Everyone knows the story of Rahu & Ketu's birth after the slay of Swar-Bhanu by the Mohini form of lord Vishnu after amrut (nectar of immortality) was received from the churning of mount meru in the ksheer sagar (milk ocean). Since, Swar-Bhanu drank the amrut so, he became immortal. As Vishnu cut off Swar-Bhanu's neck with His sudarshan chakra, Swar-Bhanu got divided in two parts, the head- Rahu, the north part and the rest of the body- Ketu, the south part.

The name of the demon Swar-Bhanu is very important. Although, he is a demon but yet he is balanced (in swar) and is shining like sun (bhanu). So, Rahu & Ketu have two ways of functionality; one is tri-dimensional and the other is multi-dimensional, just like rest all the gruhas.

The battle of Kurukshetra is a direct representation of tri-dimensional and multi-dimensional beings. Against hundred kauravas (3D beings), there were five pandavas (MD beings) and lord was with the five pandavas. And, out of the five pandavas too there was only one Arjun who was righteous enough to receive the diVine knowledge from lord himself. So is the composition of this world. Majority of 3D beings and a handful of Md beings.

So, Rahu- Ketu; the north-south axis functions in a different way for 3D beings and differently for MD beings. Ra is Sun as in Ram and Ra-m too is Sun as he is Suryavanshi. The Egyptian lord of sun is also called Amun-Ra. Ra is the north node which implies thw north point of meru and north point of spine which is sahastrar. The astonishing fact to share here is that the letter "R" is the 18th letter and Rahu too has 18 years of main period and 18 months of transit period in one zodiac sign.

"Rahu represent the highest potential that one can attain in the birth whereas Ketu represents the key to attain that higher potential in a birth time."

For 3D beings, Rahu works as the illusion and creates desires related to the significations of the house it is in the natal chart while Ketu works as snatcher giving rise to the sorrow & grief related to the house it is present. This is the tri-dimensional working of the nodes. However, for multi-dimensional beings, who are walking the path of exploring the journey of life, walking the path towards lord, who are into spiritual practices under the diVine guidance of guru, they relish the grace aspect of Rahu & Ketu. For them, the house Rahu is present in the natal chart, the significations of that house shine like Sun and they flourish with every period of 18 years of Rahu cycle where Ketu is the Key-To attain the highest potential of Rahu. The house Ketu is present, the native must affirm the discipline of that house truthfully & with utmost honesty to attain the highest northern potential.

Now, Ketu being the south node is the southern center on the spine i.e. mool-aadhaar. One must understand that the first tri- centers, mool-aadhaar (मूलाधार), swadhisthan (स्वधिष्ठान) and manipoor (मणिपूर) represent the tri-puri of bhu-lok (three earthly planes) as these three centers too represent the elements as earth, water & fire which function on the earthly plane. And, it represents the tri-dimensional living. Refer above example of Kurukshetra battle, out of 105, 100 are 3D beings fighting for power, fame, money, authority, possession etc and are mere puppets in the hands of kaal. However, there are handful of beings on this plane, who have the diVine longing deep inside, who shed tears of loVe for lord, who wants to rise above to the lord's abode and doesn't feel belonging to this earthly reality. So, they function above the 3D plane and live life journey as a diVine play, not fighting/blaming for fame or power or money or false praise etc. So, the anaahat represent the antariksh-lok (अंतरिक्ष लोक), the space, the he-art, the art of the lord.

In order to activate the higher potential of Rahu & Ketu, one must practice right speech, speaking of love, glory of lord, speaking truth and speaking righteous while avoiding to speak vacuum talks, superfluously, gossip or bad-mouthing. Mouth is also called as go-mukh because of the uvula (गोमांस), it works as a pump to pull the shakti updated to heart and then it only sustains if the right discipline of speech is followed because of which the speech center is called Vishuddhi, the highly purified. With such practice of speech, the penial fluid rises up the column from south (ketu) towards north (rahu), liberating the being from the pangs of kaal and the traps of tri-dimensionality/ tri-gun.

Most important point to note is- one must follow the discipline provided by one's master diligently, in terms of technique, practices and study, as that works miraculous to receive the grace and to attain the highest potential of ones birth - V
