On this day, Rahu and Ketu transit into Karkataka and Makara Rashis respectively. Rahu’s transit impacts natives of Pushyami and Aslesha Nakshatram, while Ketu’s transit impacts natives of Uttarashada, Shravana and Dhanistha (1 & 2 padams). It is recommended that devotees with these birth Nakshatrams participate in this event to get relief from Graha Doshas. Also, any devotees with Rahu or Ketu Mahardasha or Antardasha are also encouraged to participate in this event. Interested devotees are requested to call Sharmaji as soon as possible so that appropriate Japams can be started right away. Sharmaji will be performing Japam on behalf of registered devotees until the Homam on Friday. It should also be noted that there will be a Total Solar Eclipse on Monday, August 21, 2017. Sri Lalitha Peetham will be performing Kala Sarpa Abhishekam to seek relief from negative impact of this eclipse. Since Monday is back to school day for many children in the metroplex, Saraswati Pooja and Navagraha Homams peformed over the weekend will be very beneficial. If possible, parents of children going back to school are recommended to perform Rahu/Ketu Japam during the eclipse window (11:30 AM to 2:40 PM).
