This comes from a client of mine who wanted to share his Experience of Ketu Mahadasha: I haven’t changed a word in this:
Dear Sir,
Hope this mail finds you in good health and state. You have been one of those few people who have directly/indirectly had an impact on my life more so during this Ketu MD. I will always have my good wishes for you due to the spiritual support system you have become to so many people including me. God Bless you and may you continue the excellent work.
I dont know if this is correct or not but have gathered all my courage to share my Ketu MD experiences. Pardon me if i have done something out of my turn.
Om Ganapataye Namaha. Om Ketave Namaha
My Liberating experience of Ketu Mahadasha….
God has been so kind to have given me this life and the liberating experience of my Ketu Mahadasha. Before I pen down my experience, I would give my gratitude towards everyone who are/were associated or got disassociated during this period. Each of them has taught me something which I would treasure for the rest of my life. My family- particularly my mother, wife, kids, sisters, brother in laws and my father & mother-in-law and their family has been a pillar of support for me and continue to be. God is always kind!!
As G Vijaya Kumar Sir says, Ketu MD takes you to the temple and believe you me it did. I was a God-fearing man and now am a God Loving man. I identify myself with the writings of G Vijaya Kumar Sir…I have been through the Ketu MD more so the latter half just watching his videos and reading his write ups. Somehow it gave me solace. As he says from a brilliant mind and invincible feeling during Mercury Mahadasha you become a mere opposite of yourself, a self-doubting and under confident person. Perhaps this was the first lesson, that one always needs to be grounded.
Start Date of Ketu Mahadasha- 28/11/2017
End Date of Ketu Mahadasha- 28/11/2024
Started with a bang , LOST MY JOB just 28 days prior to the start. From an invincible star I had become a jobless man. The most harrowing experience for a man would be losing his Job atleast in our culture. People start doubting you hence the impact on your self-confidence. Everything falls apart. This period messed my head, I did get an opportunity to join the organization which was taking over but did not- rather could not. It really messes up your head and you do not listen to anyone. The confusion and indecisiveness is fast and furious- it changes in minutes. My wife wanted me to join but anyone including her who gave me sane suggestions had/would become my enemy. This is what the start does to you. By the time I realized my mistake it was late and I was denied the offer because my confirmatory mail reached 45 minutes late. This is how fast things were changing. I tried an interview in one of leading MNC {had attended 5 rounds}, was really confident that I would get through, you know that is the overconfidence which comes from Mercury MD. Alas that was the first jolt “You are not invincible”.
My struggle continued with a lot of losses during this period owing to wrong investments. Ketu does mess up your head, losing almost 30% of my savings and my severance package. During my Ketu-Ketu and the start of my Ketu-Venus I wanted to run away somewhere, maybe go and stay in a temple and serve there. Such thoughts started over powering me, I had the blessings of God and visited Shirdi Sai and Shani Shingnapur. Thus started my spiritual journey -wanted to visit only temples and wanted to stay alone, sit for hours together. I would have gone inside the Sai Temple 4-5 times on that particular day, don’t know how but the wait time and queue did not bother me, it just happened. Started visiting Shiva temple daily and how lucky I was that I had the opportunity of offering milk and doing abhishek daily on my own…normally the pundit in the temple does this however this temple did not have a pundit, you were expected to do Puja on your own. I feel this way again. Ganesh Dev blessed me. I did a lot of remedies including feeding crows, dogs and cows. A very interesting thing used to happen, I used to struggle to get crows/dogs and cows during this phase. Either they would not be there or would not eat; I guess Ketu Dev wanted me to go through everything hence the difficulty in performing remedies.
Link1-I would relate the above experience to my latter Ketu MD period subsequently. The feeling of everybody speaking behind and mocking you is immense. My friends from the apartment would gauze at me and mock me for going to the temple daily because by this time they had known I was without a job. Yes this was the first humiliation amongst many. I started picking up fights with my wife for no reason, used to sit without doing anything for hours together. Just one month into Ketu MD, I fell down in a running race at my son’s school and injured my under eye and my right shoulder. Struggled with a frozen shoulder for months/years and it still hurts. I even had Dengue and was admitted in hospital for 7 days during Durga Puja 2018. During my Ketu-Venus, I somehow got an offer in an MNC through a common ex-colleague. And this was the start of my torture, as G Vijaya Kumar sir says, Gurgaon is the last place to go during your Ketu MD. However, I believe what is plotted can never be blotted.
I went and joined in Dec2019 in Gurgaon. Terrible and harrowing experience to say the least.I started reporting to a female boss who incidentally was my colleague in one of my previous organizations. Oh God!! I really had a tough time during these 2 to 2.5 months. I used to drag myself to the office, had fights almost every day… started hiding from everything. Would avoid the path she had/was taking…didn’t want to cross roads with her in the office. I just wanted to quit and was looking for some support, someone would understand and empathize with me. Here again my wife supported me and advised me to leave everything and come back. Although my In-laws wanted me to fight it out but trust me you just don’t have the courage and want to run away. Finally I came back to Kolkata and was relieved.
However RELIEF in Ketu MD, you are far from it. My savings were reducing and I was feeling the pressure. Would you believe it I again approached the same female boss to take me in, lucky for me she did not agree.
Struggle continued but some green shoots started appearing. I started construction in one of my plots back in my home town with help of my father in law. This kept me engaged. Suddenly from nowhere a couple of interview calls came. I appeared and my final round was with a lady who would have been my super boss. She was impressed and I was sure of the offer but as fate would have it in a change of mind she wanted another discussion with a person with whom I had indirectly worked during my Mercury MD. During that time I used to work for an MNC and they were (the company where I was appearing for the interview) my vendor. As luck would have, you ask for support from those people whom you would have ruled/bossed over in the past. That is Karma. The interview started and the only thing that happened was veiled mocking and insult ultimately I did not get through. The second offer was for a job which was 3 levels down from the profile I was handling during my Mercury MD. This interview clicked and I joined with an almost >50% salary cut and much lower designation. I must say the person who took my final round of interview was/is a gem of a person.
Link 2{This gentleman would again come in the latter part of life to support}.
In the above job there were a lot people who used to either report into me/my vendors/3-4 levels down during my Mercury MD were now either at my level or a level above & beyond. Although they used to give me the same respect, I did not like it and it was really humiliating. I stayed there for 3 months, luckily with the help of an ex-colleague a lady again I got an opportunity with one of my vendors with whom I had worked earlier as a client.
Note- women have been really a support system all my life barring few particularly during my Ketu MD
During this period barring few extended family members, everyone else was very inquisitive and somehow enjoyed gossiping when I did not have a job. However they did not utter a single thing when I got a job and was somewhat settled … .very unusual.
I got this opportunity during my Ketu-Sun AD and I joined on the 1st day of my Ketu-Moon AD. I left Kolkata and came to my home town. My 2nd phase in Ketu MD started with a good designation and higher span of control in my career. To sum it up there was a professional career resurgence which I had lost although compensation was way too less than what I was having during Mercury MD. I have been working in this organization for the last 5 years and I owe everything to these gentlemen who have supported me during my tough time. My current boss is a friend and my guide; I treat him as my elder brother whatever I have learnt during this period has been from him. Yes a Guru did arrive during my Ketu MD.
Although I had shifted to my hometown, my family was still in Kolkata and as luck would have it they had come to visit me in Mar 2020 during school vacation and have not gone back since, thanks to Covid. I made a lot of constructional changes to my house during my Ketu-Rahu AD . After 1 year of online classes during the pandemic, I made my kids join here in my hometown in one of the best schools. Although my entire family had shifted during Covid but still all my stuff was there in Kolkata and I continued to have that rented house. Finally left in 2021 and transferred everything back to my home town. Yes during Ketu-Rahu AD and just beginning of Ketu-Jup we met with a Vastu Guru who suggested a lot of things and that really helped us. We had performed Rudra Abhishek on his advice. Slowly but surely things were improving at least I was with my family and kids. I am a very fun loving person but in Ketu MD had lost that mojo however in 2nd half I did regain it.
I think at the beginning of Ketu-Jup, 100% inclination started towards astrology and it is continuing till date. One of the driving force and invisible support were these videos and write ups on Ketu MD specifically G Vijaya Kumar Sirs.
Continuing from Link1– suddenly after 50% of Ketu MD was over, cows started visiting my house on their own and we used to feed them. A bunch of street dogs which are there in our colony are being regularly fed by us. They have become like our family members. Maybe everything has got a timeline and will happen when it is supposed to happen.
I started getting up early at 5am and left all my laziness during my Ketu-Saturn AD and walked/ran daily. I am so engrossed in my professional job now. Lot of friends and family members showed their true self during this time which otherwise I would have never known.
Ketu-Mercury AD has brought back the lost confidence but I still remain grounded and will continue to in future. During Ketu-Mercury AD (July and Aug- 3months prior to my Ketu MD ending), I had a severe fall in the toilet and was on bed rest for almost 15 days. I also had a minor operation in the last 2 months. Currently at fag end of my Ketu-Mercury AD not only have I got a promotion but have managed regain same compensation which I lost at the beginning of Ketu MD. I have even bagged an excellent Job offer in an MNC, still at the crossroads whether to join or not. Link2- incidentally this is the same MNC where I had worked for 3 months with much less salary and designation. The supervisor, who I feel is a great person, helped this time again with positive feedback.
Lord Ganesh, Lord Jagannath along with Ketu Dev has given me the courage to fight it out and come out as a different and humbler self of mine.
Waiting for Dasha Sandhi and Sting. I know whatever will happen will be for good. At the end of Ketu MD I am a content man. Just want to do good to others.
Om Ganapataye Namaha. Om Ketave Namaha
Thanks buddy for sharing this. Hope you do better in future.
God Bless,
