When Raahu's head and tail were separated by the blow of Mahavishnu , the tail portion was thrown about on Podhigai hills .In due course with the blessings of Lord Shiva ,a snake head got attached to the demonaic dragon body of Kethu , one of the two shadow planets .Even though loss of property, maternal relations, afflictions of diseases to wife and children are attributed to Kethu's ill placement in horoscope He is the giver of the highest knowledge and liberation for the human soul .Whenever fortitude and conviction born of great strength of mind, leads our actions , it is the grace of Kethu Bhagavaan encompassing us. These sterling virtues are in great demand by every human being in the battle of life .
Sri Muthuswamy Dikshithar whose krithis are enriched with the highest philosophy was amply blessed by Kethu Bhagawan as he repeatedly stressed through his krithis the futility of illusions in our day to day life when we are unable to choose the real aspects of our life from the unreal ones.
Throughout his life Dikshithar travelled from temple to temple and composed the krithis on each deity with great devotion and insight.The temple of Kethu is situate at Keezhperumpallam which is also known as Vanagiri at six kms. from Thiruvengaadu enroute to Poompuhaar .The presiding deities are Naaganaadaswamy and Ambaal.
Pallavi :=
Mahaasuram Kethumaham smaraami chayaagrahavaram : = I worship the great demon Kethu who is the foremost of the shadow planets .
Anupallavi :=
Maha vichithra makutadharam mangala vasthraditharam := Who wears a peculiar crown and an auspicious dress .
Madhyama kaalam :=
Narapeetasthitham sukham navagrahayutham sakham :Pleased at being half dragon and half human ,who is friendly among the nine planets .Kethu and Raahu do not have a house of their own in the zodiacal horoscope . However they are friendly with the planets posited in the same house by imbibing the attributes of the planets .

With this we conclude the Navagraha Krithis of Dikshithar . The nine planets determine the course of our lives as per our past good and bad deeds.Listening to or reciting the krithis propitiating each planet of the day will bestow peace and prosperity in our lives . As regards Raahu and Kethu if placed with another planet their krithis can be sung on the day of the planet; in case no planet is posited along , then the lord of the house in which Raahu or Kethu is singly posited could be chosen as the day for invoking their blessings.
As regards the vimshothari dasa of each person any astrologer of repute will be able to calculate on perusal of the related horoscope , the exact dasa and bhukthi the person is undergoing and accordingly to mitigate any untoward effect the navagraha krithi of the related planets may be recited or heard daily during those days till the period of the bhukthi or dasa is over .Dikshithar himself has composed the krithi on Lord Shani and advised his disciple who was suffering from stomachache to recite the krithi until his ailment was over .
