The
South node or Ketu is regarded as a point
of difficult Karma from a past life in which the
individual furthered his own selfish interest at
the expense of others. The South node, on the
positive side, can develop strong concentration
and mastery of obscure or arcane subjects. Ketu
gives sudden and unexpected results for good or
bad. On the spiritual front Ketu gives
perception, liberation, wisdom and psychic
sensitivity in a more genuine way.
| The following is the special name
(nama) mantra for the
Ketu as preceded by
it's Shakti or power mantra. It can be used to connect with the planetary
deity and to energize all the higher powers of the
Ketu. |
|
"Om Hum Kem Ketave
Namah"
|
|
The word
'Hum' in above mantra denotes Havana Shakti, the power of
offering, sacrifice, destruction and transformation.
