This time it is partial Chandra Grahana. This

is visible in India, Nepal, Dubai, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Singapore,

Bangladesh, Burma, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and other places in Asia

(eastern hemisphere) not visible in USA & Canada.

What is Lunar Eclipse or

Chandra Grahana? - We call it Chandra Grahana or Lunar Eclipse when

the earth comes between the sun and the moon. This will occur only

when the sun, earth and the moon are aligned exactly, that will be

always on a full moon (Pournami) day.

What is Vedaramba? - After start of Vedaramba period, we must not take eat/drink any thing.

Why we are keeping Darba on all the items during Grahana?

- Darba is born from the body of Varaha devaru. In Darba, there is

sannidhana of Srihari, Brahma and Rudradevaru. So, Darba is always

pure. During Grahana, all these items like milk, curds, vegetables,

which are being kept will loose their power and becomes unusable. But

with the use of Darba being kept on these items, their shuddatwa will

be maintained and one can use the same after Grahana also.

Kethugrasta Chandragrahana - Who is Kethu?

During Samudra Mathana, when Mohini roopi Srihari was distributing

the amrutha, one daithya by name Svarbhanu, came in a disguise and sat

among the devateâ€™s row. Srihari gave him Amrutha also. At that time

Sun and Moon, on seeing that the daithya has come in Devateâ€™s row and

taking amrutha, complained to Mohini, when Srihari through his

Sudarshana removed the head of that daithya. Actually that daithya had

done penance asking for Amrutha to be falling to his mouth. As such,

Srihari had allowed Amrutha to be swallowed upto its mouth, but it

didnâ€™t enter beyond mouth, Srihari had removed his head. As such, the

head of the daithya was fixed to a snakeâ€™s body to become â€œRahuâ€, and

the other portion without head is called as â€œKethuâ€. During

Suryagrahana Rahu tries to swallow Surya and Kethu tries to swallow

Moon.

Poornima shraddha on 31.12.09 - They have to do fasting on 31.12.2009 and do the shraddha on 01.01.2010, friday.

Dos/Donâ€™ts for during and before & after Grahana

Dos :

We must not eat/drink anything after Vedaaramba. If we eat some

thing during grahana period, we have to observe three days fasting for

parihara of the grahana dosha.

We must take bath once when the Grahana starts and once when the grahana ends.

Even those who are observing soothaka also must observe Grahana snaana.

During Grahana we must do daanaas â€“ Godaana, Suvarna Daana, Bhoodana, dhaanya dhaana (yathaashakthi.)

Milk, curds, vegetables, water and other items are free from

baked items are not free from grahana dosha, even though darbe is kept

on them.
