Thank you
Is there any in Tamil
Why is there a Rahu Kaalam (In-auspicious time) section in the newspapers in India?
Who follows it in the world? Only Hinduism is following it and that too only in India. If the time between 8 and 9 is Rahu Kaalam on certain day, we will not do any work or leave home or attend any important business. Do westerners follow such a habit? How about Russians? No sensible passion follows such a time wasting billing faith in the name of religion.
Mr. Gladguy, No where it is said that we should not do any work during Rahu Kalam. Any auspecious work should not be started during Rahu Kalam. Since Rahu Kalam, Navagraha, etc., are related to Hindu Tradition, how can one expects a non-Hindu to follow this tradition. What tradition and culture do the Westerns have in life. Whatever few of them following today is only the quotes from the Vedas.
Some of my relatives in Kerala don't bother about Rahu kalam. When I enquired, they said Rahu Kalam is not meant for our community.
I request our members of Kerala origin to enlighten us more on the subject
Not only Rahu Kalam Yemmakandam times, but many other aspects of our ancestral beliefs should not be analyzed in the present day context. Beliefs and traditions vary from place to place. I do not think that the argument Rahu Kalam etc. is not observed in North India is correct. We in Tamil Nadu eat Idly and Dhosai that is not eaten by people in North India. Even NASA is skeptic about No.13 (What happened to Appollo 13 mission?). Therefore the beliefs should not be questioned. Can anyone prove that Rahu Kalam is NOT harmful? It is the responsibility of the challenger to prove his/her point. The believer need not.Dear Mr. Iyer:
Are you implying that these Rahu Kaalam, Yama Kandam, etc., affect only Hindus? I am not sure if this is a tradition or a superstition? I may be wrong - but except people in Tamil Nadu, no other part of India uses this. Do our Vedas talk about this?
Thanks
from Where & when was Raghu Kalam and emmakandam first mentioned in our Hindu
scriptures and originate
