Jaideep,

YOU ASK SUCH BEAUTIFUL QUESTIONS! All of those have been answered many many times, by more than one individual! If you are serious, I would request you to keep searching, as opposed to asking and when you come upon the answers (JAI GOOGLE! JAI ALTAVISTA!), you would join us all in spreading the truth through your personal knowledge and direct experience ;-)

[quote="JAIDEEP"]I am learning vedic astrology since last 9 months and really confused about existance of rahu and ketu.

Following doubts came into my mind :

1)Why only moon has nodal points unlike other planets ?

2)When moon is running straight, how they are retrogading ?

3)The story of rahu devil and ketu devil drinking amrut seems so fake and negative.

4)Prasara mentioned decreasing moon as a malefic which may be misinterpreted as rahu and ketu.

5)Prasara can be wrong in this matter.

6)Exaltation and debaliation of rahu and ketu must be same as of a moon which is not the case.

7)Many western astrologers has not still accepted existance and use of rahu and ketu in astrology.[/quote]

puranas are only stories for a layman who cant understand complicated issues

sun and moon are named as prataksha karma grahas - who are witnesses of all our karmas and results of all these karmas are given back both by them and shadows of moon and earth(who is also a witness of our karma)

9 planets are only representatives of karma

Then there are those accepted geniuses that signed a petition some decades ago who declared that entire astrology is a product of superstition (186 nobel laureates!).

These are just shades of elitist attitudes, Phantom, sometimes one portrays himself as someone who is higher than laypersons and in the second moment is himself being called by another being as a superstitious individual.

These are all personal opinions and all mistaken perceptions! Who really knows what Karma is truly, other than the Kreator!

Probably it has moved from the 'astrology reading forum' to the 'astrology forum'.

I think it is justified.
