Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thankyou Utpal sir, for all the very valuable suggestions . May I ask another question in respect to Chandi path. I can read Sanskrit and know Hindi too but not fluently. While doing Nyasa few actions are mentioned which I find hard to understand. Is it necessary to perform all those actions while chanting the mantras or can one just keep reading the mantras and ignore the actions. What role does these actions play?I know asking to record the whole of Chandi homam would be hard hence I would humbly request Narsimha Sir, to please video record only the nyasa part. I think of all the Homams Chandi homam is a challenge. Also I live in a hot place where dangerous spiders and scorpions are a problem. Most of the time I throw them outside but occasionally when they pose danger we have to kill them. I feel very guilty in doing so. I want to ask how much karma and what effect will one have when one kills them when one is practicing spirituality. But then how are we supposed to tackle the situation.

Date: Friday, January 8, 2010, 10:20 PM Namaste, Solar eclipse is at Mid-night for US means that it'll not be visible there. However It is still a great idea to engage in a Spiritual practice. It is believed that Eclipse time is not conducive to do Rituals other than Japam, Meditation. Japam is considered best during that time. Another thing is that Eclipse time is conducive for spiritual upliftment and not at all good for any worldly desire so i guess any Sadhana done during that time must only for selfless reasons without having any other sankalpa. It is possible though that Sadhana done without any worldly desires may sometimes avert or reduce the evil effects (which may have been pre-indicated by astrology) of Grahana on one's worldly life. I think Narasimha has earlier stated that Homam can be done during Eclipse time. So you can do either Japam or Homam but whatever you do, please forget about any other motive. Japam can be of any mantra and homam can also be of any deity you prefer. Best regards, Utpal , "metllapalli" <metllapalli@ ....> wrote: > > On Jan 15 what time exactly the eclipse will be in India? I know it will be midnight for US. Is it ok to do homa at that time i.e midnight? Which homa should one do for eclipse? For japa is there any special mantra that one needs to chant to get the maxim benefit or any mantra is fine? For those whom the eclipse might cause harm what mantra should they chant to revert the negative effect. Any other valuable suggestions as this eclipse will be a big one.
