About Rahu Mantras
Rahu is the North Node of the Moon, a shadow planet (Chaya Graha) representing worldly desires, illusion, and material obsession. Rahu can bring sudden success, fame, foreign connections, and unconventional achievements. Rahu mantras help channel this energy positively and protect from deception and mental confusion.
