Rahu Mantras and Remedies
71Rahu Mantras and Remedies
According to Hindu Mythology Rahu swallows the Sun or the Moon causing eclipses. The story of Rahu is quite interesting. According to the Puranas, Swarbhanu, the son born to the Asura King Viprasithi and a Queen Sinhika, consumed amrut by disguising himself as a God and sitting in between Sun and Moon. Once Mohini (a Lord Vishnu avatar as female) who was distributing the holy nectar of immortality noticed the mistake Sharbhanu was assaulted with the ladle resulting which his head separating from the rest of the body. As he had already consumed amrut he did not die. Swarbhanu pleaded to Vishnu for moksha and accordingly a serpants body was fitted to his face which we call Rahu and the serpants head with his body became Ketu.
Rahu is normally
depicted as a dragon head with no body riding a chariot drawn by eight black
horses. Though not a Planet Rahu is counted as one of the
navagrahas. Rahu
is considered as a malefic and its effects are equated with that of Shani by
Vedic Astrologers.The metal representing Rahu is lead. Its element is air and
direction is south-west. Rahu is the ruler of number 4 in Indian numerology. Rahu is also the lord
of three nakshatras : Ardra, Swati and Shatabhisha. The dasha of Rahu normally last for 18 years out of
which the 6th and 8th years are the most troublesome ones. When the Rahu is afflicted one faces several miseries and obstacles
in the way of success and remedies should be done to reduce the ill effects. Some such remedies are
- Worshiping Bhairava or lord Shiva.
- Chanting Rahu Mantras or Stotra
- Donating Udad dal or coconut on Saturday
- Fasting on Saturdays
- Wear An 8 mukhi Rudraksha Bead
- Wearing Gomedh

Hi Anamika,
Thank you very much.
hi anamika,
thank u very much
Sir, Very happy to read the article. such a fantastic article.
Sonu : You mean 'Om Aim Hrim Rahave Namah'? All mantras meant for sadana requires some rituals to be followed. Don't do it if you are not able to follow it.
ilangovan: You may chant mahamrityunjaya mantra for health problems. I have written a Hub on it. You can check my typing my name on the search box here along with the mantra name. Buy a CD and listen to it also as often as you can.
shamraz: Your question is already answered in this Hub. And your astrologer should be able to guide you more on it.
i had an asto reading done and they said i have a peroiod of raho coming in 2014 please if there is a remady in advance please can you tell me and if you could email me at shamraz_ali@yahoo.co.uk i would be gratfull

May be we need some basic info or a photo of a person for whom the prayers are done. Namestey
Thanks alot i was searching for this thanks alot god bless u
Thanks a lot.
Anyone doing RahuDeva mantras. "Om raam rahve namah". The pronounciation is not RAAM, here M should be pronounced through nose not from the mouth. I am not very particular about the rituals(urad dal and coconut). Individual might atleast, one good/help to someone daily without any expectation.
I do have Rahu dasha, figured out from Parashar lite6.1. I am praying every day Rahu mantra(Ardha Kayam.....20times), Rahu beej mantras om breem.... and Om rahave namah both 144 times. Early morning and before going to bed. Let's see I can grab Rahu's attention or not. I am sure he will hear me.......
Thanks a lot for your help

Hey Anamika, you have shared lot of rahu mantras which are not found on any other site - especially the Rahu Shanti Mantra. Great Work ! Just a request - can these mantras be published in our national language or sanskrit ( i mean visualization) to actually know the exact word to avoid any mistake in pronunciation?
One question - Can this rahu shanti mantra be recited daily starting from any Saturday.
chaitanyaviral and view : I am happy that you found the hub informative and useful. Thanks for the visit.
Very good hub on astrological remedy for Rahu. Great work.
hi anamika, I am really thankful to you as I was really in search of Rahu mantra for the nivarana of Chandaal Yoga in my horoscope, Thanks a lot. Nice & Informative hub.
