Ketu Yantra: Benefits Mantra Meaning

Understanding Ketu Yantra Meaning in Vedic Astrology

Ketu is the moon's southern node, considered as a half-planet in Hindu mythology and called a 'shadowy' planet because of its invisibility. Ketu is believed to be the body of Rahu, after Lord Vishnu cut off the head of asura (a different group of power-seeking deities besides the suras). Some strictures also believe Ketu to be an incarnation of Lord Indra who after being defeated took an inactive form and insidious state 'Ketu'. This shadowy planet has an enormous wallop on human lives and creation as a whole. Ketu is both evil and beneficial, its causes loss and sorrows, at the same time it turns the individual towards God. It causes harm to people so that they turn to God and develop a spiritual outlook. Ketu's effects are both positive and negative. It blesses its devotees with wealth, prosperity and success in life. It cures illness and diseases that are results of poisoning.
