As per Vedic astrology, Ketu is a very important planet in our planetary system. It is the companion of Saturn and Rahu and has its own specific role. Ketu is known to be mystical and beyond the physical. If Ketu is strong in one’s birth chart, spiritual and self-discovery experiences come into their life, but if it is weak then it might bring difficulty letting go, lack of focus, and fear of the unknown.
To remove these bad effects, Vedic astrologers recommend worship or chanting mantras. It is believed that, if you chant mantras related to planet Ketu, you can pacify the planet and bring positive things in life.
