Grahana Sparsha Time 11.05am (IST)

Madhya Kaala â€“ 1.14 pmSome of the observances to be followed on Grahana Day :On

Grahana day â€“ We must not do panchamrutha, phalasamarpane and

Hastodaka, to yathigalu, as the Yathigalu will be on fasting on this

day.

We can take food upto 9.22 pm on 14.1.2010

Vedarambha starts @ 9.22 pm on 14..1.2010

On 15.1.2010 Morning nothing to be taken.

Grahana period is

termed as â€œParva kaalaâ€. As such, one can get upadesha of various

mantraas during the period, and if it is done, it will have more

significance and have siddhi.

Shraddha if it is falling on 15.1.2010 (paaDya shradda) can be done on 16.1.2010.

Grahana

nimitta Shraddha - During Grahana, if one does shradda, deva-pitrugalu

will be pleased and Bhoodana phala will be gained. But please note

pinda should be prepared from rice flour or suvarna. anna not to be

prepared for pinda pradhana. â€“ daana to be given to satpatraru.

Vedarambha period is

the period from which we are not supposed to take anything whether it

is liquid/solid. From this period as the Grahana dosha starts,

whatever we eat will be converted as germs and spoils our food.

Another important thing is that by that time the real grahana starts,

our stomach to be empty.

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 Chandra Grahana - & Rahugrasta Surya Grahana. Who is Kethu and who is Rahu?

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 Swarbhanu 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€. To take a revenge on Surya Chandraru, Rahu tries to swallow

Surya and Kethu tries to swallow Moon during Surya Grahana and Chandra

Grahana respectively. That is why the eclipses are termed as

Rahugrasta Suryagrahana and Kethugrasta Chandragrahana.

We must take bath once

when the Grahana starts (sparsha) and once when the grahana ends

(moksha). Snaana done at the beginning of Grahana gets phala which is

equal to Laksha tirtha snaana and mokshanantara snaana gets you phala

which is termed as â€œanantaâ€ (uncountable) .

Homa and shanthi done during Grahana period gets phala which is more than crore time phala.

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

Even the Rajaswala ladies must observe Grahana snaana.

While doing sparsha snaana, we must do the snaana with the clothes we are wearing in.

Tarpana during Grahana

Madhya kaala : â€“ Tarpanaadhikarigalu must give tarpana to sarva

pitrugalu during madhyakaala of grahana. This will fetch us punya

equal to samasta bhoodhana. The pitru devategalu, if Tarpana is done,

will get drop of amrutha during the period.

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

Milk, curds,

vegetables, water and other items are free from Grahana dosha provided

a kusha (darbe) is kept on the items. But baked items are not free

from grahana dosha, even though darbe is kept on them.

Two days prior and two days after Grahana are Varjya for â€œShubha Kaaryaâ€.

Tarpana during Grahana period

During

Grahana period do as much japa as possible, do paarayana of Vayustuthi,

Rayara Stotra, Sumadhwa Vijaya, etc (depending upon the time

available). Those who does not know Rayara Stotra, etc., & ladies

atleast they can chant the following mantra :

harE raama harE raama raama raama harE harE |

harE kRiShNa harE kRiShNa kRiShNa kRiShNa harE harE |

Ladies can chant

Madhwanaama, sing devaranamagalu, they can do guru mantra, etc. Grahana

dosha pariharaartha stotra to be chanted â€“
