Astrologically within Jyotish or Vedic astrology, the kundalini is represented with the planets or nodes Rahu and Ketu. Rahu and ketu represent the head and the tail of the serpent.

Tulsidas later came to the sacred city of Varanasi and studied Sanskrit grammar, four Vedas, six Vedangas, Jyotisha and the six schools of Hindu philosophy over a period of 15-16 years from guru Shesha Sanatana.

Knowledge of Indian astrology (Jyotish), along with the planetary forces which exercise a negative karmic influence upon us, is necessary in order to find the correct mantra and yantra for us at a particular moment in time.
