Rahu,
the north node, is equated with Saturn the great
malefic by Vedic Astrologers. A strong Rahu
gives the individual worldly powers and success.
In the spiritual realm, Rahu can give psychic
powers, but also there may be danger from drugs,
and danger from black magic. On the positive
side, the influence of Rahu can put us in
harmony with collective trends and give
popularity, prestige, fame and power.
| The following is the special name
(nama) mantra for the
Rahu as preceded by
it's Shakti or power mantra. It can be used to connect with the planetary
deity and to energize all the higher powers of the
Rahu. |

Namah"
|
|
The word
'Dhum' in above mantra denotes Dhavana Shakti, the power of
obscuring, hiding, protecting and preparing.
