Our ancients were exploring with much enthusiasm about the space... They were much interested to know further about the Signs and Planets...
During that time, they noticed a horrifying scene in space...
"Sun was slowly covered by a dark sphere and suddenly a brilliant golden yellow ring appeared along the circumference of the Sun, and thus causing darkness on the Earth for a while and then the Sun recovered slowly and resumed its divine light again...''
People were horrified with this event... They feared that some evil events would happen soon... Some thought that a gigantic dark serpent swallowed the Sun... Some thought Sun was loosing His power and He would die soon... They started praying God for the divine Sun...
Within 15 days The Moon was also disappeared...!!?
People became panic and scared a lot...
Yes, in those days, these scenes were horrifying, because people were used to pray the Sun as a DIVINE GOD and they had given a special kind of affection in their hearts to the Moon as ''Chandamaama'', close relation etc...
Our scientific saints tried to find out actual reasons behind these scenes...
They noticed that these disappearances were common feature in every year... two or three such events can happen in every year... When three such events happened, saints observed that some natural calamities or irregular seasons or civil wars were happening...
And they also noticed that Sun was disappearing on Amavaasya and the Moon on Poornima thithies...
Saints used their Yogic Powers to find out the true reasons...
They learned that there is no such Gigantic Serpent as people were scaring about...
In fact there were two imaginary points in space which were the inter sectional points of the two planes made by the "Earth-Sun" ecliptic and "Earth-Moon" plane...
These two points were always 180 degrees apart from each other...
Great saints named these two imaginary points as "Rahu" and "Ketu"... Whenever this Rahu-Ketu axis is aligned with the Amavaasya or Poornima thithies of the Sun and the Moon... the later will be disappeared...
Saints called these disappearance of Sun and Moon as ''Soorya Grahanam'' and ''Chandra Grahanam''...
Dear readers, always remember that these Rahu and Ketu are just two imaginary points in space with no mass and volume... Rahu and Ketu always transit in the reverse direction against remaining planets, in anti clockwise... whereas the Sun and the Moon always transit in clockwise direction...
So, now we have now introduced with 12 Signs and 9 planets...!
Contd...
