What Puranas say about Grahan? 

Rahu and Ketu are considered to be the two halves of the immortal Asura (demon) Swarbhanu, who was beheaded by the Lord Vishnu. Rahu-Ketu had to be maintained separate from each other by Soorya and Chandra to prevent them gaining strength. Hence, Rahu and Ketu keep attacking Soorya and Chandra causing Grahan (Eclipses). They try to completely devour the Sun and Moon. Rahu periodically engages in a war with Surya and Chandra. The Chandra Grahan (Lunar eclipse) when Rahu tries to gobble up Moon. Surya Grahan (Solar eclipse) takes place when Rahu tries to gobble up Sun. Surya and Chandra then fights to free themselves. 

Puranic Background of Grahana or Eclipse 

Puranas mention the reason for the birth of Rahu Ketu which is associated with Doorvasa Maharshi cursing Lord Indra and all the Devatas to lose their Divya Shakti (Divine powers) and their immortality. Indra requested the holy sage’s forgiveness. Danavas or the demons, learning this curse, attacked the Swargaloka (Heavens) and occupied the whole universe. The displaced Devatas led by Indra approached Lord Brahma for help, who in turn guided them to Lord Vishnu. 

Amrit Manthan – The Great Churn 

Lord Vishnu made a plan and suggested Devas to approach Danavas or Asuras and ask them for their co-operation in churning the Ksheera Sagar (Milky Ocean) to obtain ‘Amrit’, the elixir or nectar of immortality. They started churning using Mount Mandhara and the great Serpent Vasuki. Several interesting objects emerged. Kamadhenu, the wish-fulfilling cow, celestial horse Ucchaishravas, Airavat, the celestial elephant, the Kausthubha gem, the Kalpa-Vriksha (wish-fulfilling tree), Apsaras, the beautiful celestials maids, Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and finally Dhanvantari. 

Dhanvantari Avatar 

Dhanvantari, the god of medicine, appeared holding the pot of amrita. The Asuras forcefully snatched it from Dhanvantari, and refused to give it to Devatas. Lord Vishnu then incarnated as Mohini, the enchantress, the most beautiful female form in the universe. Mohini successfully took control of the vessel with elixir of immortality and she suggested Devatas and Danavas to sit in different rows, so that she distributed Amrit among them.  

Birth of Rahu and Ketu 

One demon named Swarbhanu, disguised himself and was able to sit in the row of Devatas and swallowed the nectar given to him. Soorya and Chandra noticed this beguile and they informed Mohini. Vishnu as Mohini cut off his head with Sudarshan Chakra. However, Swarbhanu having consumed Amrit had become immortal. He could not die, but his head separated from his body.  

These separated head and body came to be referred as Rahu and Ketu. These separated bodies tried to attack Soorya and Chandra and devour them.  

Rahu and Ketu prayed to Lord Vishnu. He placed them in the Celestial group of Grahas, giving them a boon.
