In this episode, we unravel the mystery of Rahu and Ketu, often referred to as shadow planets in Hindu astrology. We delve into their origin story, and how their dharma has been to seek revenge against the Sun and the Moon. We will also dive into the captivating subject of eclipses and uncover the science behind these celestial events.
