Ketu Dev

Ketu Dev



Birth Myth: During the giving out of the ambrosia to the gods, one of the Asuras (demons) disguised himself as a god and sat among them. Just as he took a mouthful of ambrosia, Surya and Chandra realized the fraud, and Vishnu quickly cut him in two, thereby giving us Rahu and Ketu. However the power of the ambrosia caused the two pieces to continue to be alive, and so Brahma changed them into planets and sent them to the heavens. Rahu continues to be the enemy of Surya and Chandra. Eclipses are when Rahu tries to devour them.

Navagraha Stotra

Navagraha Stotra

Navagraha Stotras are believed to pacify the planets and protect the reciter from the evil effects of the planets. In Sanskrit, "Nava" means Nine and "Graha" means planet. Navagraha Stotras are therefore stotras for the nine planets. In Vedic Astrology, Moon, Rahu and Ketu are considered planets.

For the nine planets
