What is Rahu Kaal/Rahu Kalam? Log itna kyu darte hai Rahu Kalam se?

Rahu Kaal (also spelled as Rahu Kalam, Rahu Kala, or Rahu Kalaam) is considered an inauspicious time period during a day. Rahu Kaal is associated with the malevolent planet Rahu, one of the nine celestial bodies in Vedic astrology. Rahu is considered a shadow planet, and its influence is believed to bring about challenges and obstacles.

Rahu Kaal is a specific time duration that is calculated based on the planetary positions and is considered unfavorable for beginning new activities or ventures. It is important to avoid important tasks or ceremonies during Rahu Kaal to ensure a smoother and more successful outcome. The duration of Rahu Kaal varies each day and is calculated based on the sunrise and sunset times for a particular location.

The general method for calculating Rahu Kaal involves dividing the daytime from sunrise to sunset into eight equal parts. The segment ruled by Rahu is considered inauspicious, and the duration is generally about 90 minutes. The starting time of Rahu Kaal depends on the weekday and the planetary positions.

Rahu Kaal is considered important:

1. Astrological Beliefs: Hindu astrology places significance on the positions of celestial bodies and their impact on human affairs. Rahu is considered a malefic planet, and its influence during certain times, known as Rahu Kaal, is believed to be inauspicious. People who adhere to astrological beliefs often prefer to avoid starting new ventures or important activities during Rahu Kaal to minimize potential challenges or obstacles.
2. Cultural Traditions: Many individuals and families in Hindu culture follow traditional practices and rituals that involve astrological considerations. Rahu Kaal is integrated into these cultural traditions as a way to ensure that important life events, such as weddings, business ventures, or other significant undertakings, occur during auspicious times.
3. Timing for Success: Those who believe in the influence of Rahu Kaal may see avoiding this time period as a way to enhance the likelihood of success and positive outcomes. The avoidance of Rahu Kaal is often seen as a precautionary measure to mitigate potential difficulties.
4. Preventing Negative Influences: Rahu is associated with deception and unexpected challenges. Avoiding Rahu Kaal is thought to protect individuals from the negative influences associated with this planetary position, ensuring a smoother and more successful course of action.
5. Auspicious Muhurat: In Vedic astrology, selecting an auspicious time or “Muhurat” for various activities is common. Rahu Kaal is considered an inauspicious time, and therefore, activities are generally scheduled outside of this period to maximize the positive influences of other planetary positions.
