Rahu Ketu Japa Yagya – to settle the influence of Rahu and Ketu
Rahu Ketu Japa Yagya
Yagya Announcement: Rahu Ketu Japa Yagya
Rahu Ketu Japa Yagya, 21 pandits, 21 days. 28th May to 17th June, 2026.
The Rahu Ketu Japa is dedicated to the two lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu. In Vedic astrology these are the chhaya grahas, the shadow grahas. They are not physical planets but the points where the Moon’s orbit crosses the ecliptic, and they govern the eclipses.
Traditional sources, including the Mahabharata, describe them as the severed head and body of the asura Svarbhanu, divided during the churning of the ocean after he drank a portion of the amrita.
The yagya is performed to settle the influence of Rahu and Ketu on the life of the yajamana. Rahu is associated with desire, obsession, foreign elements, and worldly entanglement. Ketu carries the opposite signature, marked by detachment and the residue of past karma. These two nodes are held responsible for sudden events that arrive without ordinary causal warning. The yagya is commonly offered during Rahu or Ketu mahadasha and antardasha periods, during eclipse seasons, and where a chart shows Kal Sarpa Yoga or Grahan Yoga.
At this time, the Rahu Ketu japa yagya is indicated to help settle consciousness given the current influences in the world.

At its center are the beej mantras of the two grahas for Rahu and Ketu. These come from the standard Vedic graha worship tradition preserved in the Puranas. The beej mantra is the seed sound of the graha. Twenty-one days of sustained chanting by twenty-one pandits is the traditional scale for working with the nodes, which are considered slower and more karmic in their action than the visible grahas.
For the yajamana, the tradition attributes clearer judgment and relief from mental unrest. Protection from sudden disruption follows, including accidents and reversals attributed to nodal influence. The japa softens Rahu’s grasping pull and eases Ketu’s tendency toward withdrawal and disorientation. For those on a spiritual path, it clears karmic residue and stabilizes meditation.
