“Rahu and Shukra: The Astrological Keys to Understanding Kaliyuga”
Why is Kaliyuga considered the era of Rahu and Shukra?
According to Indian astrology, the nine planets including the Sun have been mentioned. Our religious scriptures also mention four eras – Satyuga, Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga, and Kaliyuga. Satyuga was the first era, followed by Tretayuga, the era of Lord Rama. Then came Dwaparyuga, the era of Lord Krishna. Finally, the last era, Kaliyuga, began approximately 5,000 years ago. The scriptures also refer to Kaliyuga as the best era. However, this era has also seen cruelty, exploitation, greed, illusion, conflict, enmity, confusion, indulgence, uncertainty, rapid modernization, and indulgence. This is why Kaliyuga is also referred to as the era of Rahu and Shukra. This era is also considered painful.
