राहु (Rahu) पूजा -

For pacifying Rahu, the recommended number of chants for the Rahu Beej Mantra is 18,000. Traditionally, this jaap is completed within 40 days for optimal results. In the Kali Yuga, many practitioners and scriptures recommend multiplying this count by four, raising it to 72,000 repetitions to fully neutralize Rahu’s malefic influence and invite transformative spiritual growth.

Rahu Beej (Seed) Mantra –
Om Bhram Bhreem Bhraum Sah Rahave Namah
(ॐ भ्रां भ्रीं भ्रौं सः राहवे नमः॥)

Rahu Gayatri Mantra –
Om Nagadhwajaya Vidmahe Padmahastaya Dheemahi Tanno Rahuh Prachodayat
(ॐ नागध्वजाय विद्महे पद्महस्ताय धीमहि तन्नो राहुः प्रचोदयात्॥)

In Vedic astrology, Rahu represents illusion, desires, foreign elements, sudden events, unpredictability, ambition, fame, material cravings and breakthroughs. When Rahu is balanced, it grants sharp intelligence, courage, innovation, worldly success, foreign opportunities, fame, and rapid progress in career and life.

When afflicted, Rahu may create confusion, anxiety, illusion, fear, addiction, mental instability, obstacles, sudden losses, legal issues and disturbances in personal or professional matters. Performing Rahu Puja helps reduce illusion, stabilize the mind, remove toxic energies, and bring clarity, direction, protection and karmic relief.
