[SJC: Achyuta Gurukul] Chandra Ayan Vrat

[Guest guest]

Dear Kanupriya,

 

As far as I remember, the Chandra Ayana Vratha is recommended for Amavasya

Dosha. It occurs when the Moon is in a 90 Degree angle from the nodes. I hope

others can help you with the details.

 

Hare Krishna

Chandra ayana is a severe prayascitta observed for the period of one month,

where the amount of food intake corresponds to the phase of the moon.

 

The vrata starts on a Krishna Pratipada day, when 14 mouthfuls of food are

consumed by the observer. On each succeeding day, he reduces his intake by

one mouthful until Amavasya when he fasts through the day. On Shukla

pratipada, he consumes one mouthful, and on each suceeding day, he increases

his intake by one mouthful until Pournima, when he consumes 15 mouthfuls of

food. The food intake corresponds to the hourglass like shape that the body

of an ant has.

 

Another version is the reverse. On Shukla pratipada, the observer consumes

one mouthful of food, and increases it by one mouthful until Pournima when

he consumes 15 mouthfuls of food. It then decreases by one mouthful per day

until Amavasya, when the observer fasts.

 

There is mention of all sins being expiated by one who observes this for six

months, eating only the remants of sacrifices.

Dear Ajit,

ayana refers to the movement of the moon and other planets in the vertical

direction as well and fasting on the date when the moon changes the ayana is

also very good for the mind. This happen during transit when the moon touches a

node while vrata are also kept when the direction of motion changes from

descending to ascending.

The satya vrata outlined by you is very very tough and actually it starts with

15 mouthfuls on sukla pratipada to one on pournima. What are the mantras and

pooja for the vrata outlined by your priest?

As the food intake is taken as per the 'KalAs' of the Moon after offering arghya

to Moon, i.e. after Chandroday only, it is a very tough vrat.
