[Oppiliappan] Hello
Hello,
Does the rahukalam, yamakandam apply at the same time in USA as
followed in India? For example, 7:30am-9am is rahukalam on Mondays. So
will the rahukalam be between the same time in USA or should we follow
Indian time?
Regards,
Neeraja

For one has performed Saranaagathy to the Lord
,
the influence of grahams like Raahu , Sani
etc
is of secondary importance . Once , one
has placed
the burden of protection
of the jeevan at the
sacred
feet of thge Lord with AchAryan's MahOpakAram
,
one can ask : Graha Palam yEmi ? " and recite
Swamy Desikan's Sri RanganAtha Padhuka
Sahasram SlOkam overcoming the powers
of
Navagraham .
