Ketu periods may bring loss that leads to wisdom, or confusion that resolves into insight. Japa supports spiritual practice and reduces unfounded fear.
ॐ स्रां स्रीं स्रौं सः केतवे नमः
Om Sram Srim Sraum Sah Ketave Namah
Om — through Ketu's seed syllables, salutations to Ketu, who severs attachment and guides toward liberation.
