❓ Has life come to a standstill? Are you finding it difficult to make decisions? 🤔

There are times in life when we find it difficult to make decisions. We struggle to set a clear purpose for ourselves or often feel directionless. According to Vedic astrology, one major reason for this could be the inauspicious influence of the planet Ketu.

🔮 Why Ketu is called the directionless planet?

Ketu is called the directionless planet due to a story associated with the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean). It is believed that when the gods (Devas) and demons (Asuras) churned the ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality (Amrit), Lord Vishnu took the form of Mohini to distribute the nectar among the gods. At that moment, the demon Swarbhanu secretly sat among the gods and tried to drink the nectar. When the Sun (Surya) and Moon (Chandra) noticed this, they informed Lord Vishnu. In response, Vishnu used his Sudarshan Chakra to behead Swarbhanu. As a result, his head became Rahu, and his headless body became Ketu. This is why Ketu is traditionally symbolized by a serpent-headed figure, representing its headless nature. Since Ketu has no head, it is considered directionless. For this reason, in Vedic astrology, Ketu is regarded as a planet that detaches one from the material world and leads toward spirituality and liberation (Moksha).

Remedies to Overcome the Negative Effects of Ketu 🔮

As per the scriptures, chanting the Ketu Mool Mantra 7,000 times and performing a sacred havan is a powerful remedy to reduce the malefic effects of Ketu. This spiritual practice is believed to enhance one’s inner growth and infuse life with positive energy. Lord Ganesha is considered the ruling deity of Ketu, and hence, any ritual related to Ketu includes special worship of Lord Ganesha. Performing this puja on a Wednesday is especially auspicious and is said to yield maximum benefits. Therefore, Shri Bada Ganesh Temple, Ujjain, is organizing a special puja that includes the chanting of 7,000 Ketu Mool Mantra Jaap, Ganesh Atharwashirsha and Ketu Shanti Havan. Participate in this powerful puja through Sri Mandir and seek the blessings of Ketu for spiritual peace and divine guidance in your life.
