Thirumanjanam for Vigrahams after Eclipse

[Guest guest]

Jai Sreemannarayana.

 

Humble pranamams To all.

This is soumya from Hyderabad. Sir, we have Lord Sri LaxmiNarasimha

swami's vigraham in our house, ofcourse purely because of His Divine

Grace.My father wants to know whether the eclipses have any effect on

the Divya Mangala Vigrahams, ie is it necessary to perform

Thirumanjanam after each eclipse.

Thanks in Advance.

As far as I feel, it is not necessary to do any Thirumanjanam to any of the

Vigrahams for any occassion, except as an offering of love, according to one's

frame of mind. For example, grahanam does not warrant any naimittika karma

such as abhishekam. Because, the creator of grahanam and such external

happenings are only God Himself and so, He is not affected by these things.

So, it is better to follow nithyakarmas daily. Naimithyka karmas are to be

followed on special ocassions, such as the Jayanti days etc and other

auspicious days. This purifies one's mind.

hai soumya

pranamams

\

hope u might hv received the reply from eminent people

no tirumanjanam is required if u r not having

"saligrams"

moreover every eclipse will not hv effect on all gods

it depends on the nakshatra/raasi of that God.

 

u might hv seen both the eclipses in same month

first solar eclipse day many temples closed than the

second lunar eclipse

 

so no tirumunjanam required and this

tirumanjanam/proshanam only to temples where saligrams

are kept

ok

thanks you for your query

SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA

 

Taking the age-old practices as cue and analysing them (for better

understanding) with the information from ancient texts in the

light of what we gather as inputs from modern science, grahana punya

kaalam is not an occasion to be dreaded. Whatever happens by way

of 'pollution' is to affect the digestive energy of individuals only.

Or else it is about a rare occasion when pithrus can be offered

oblations as a rare kind of offering. It is perhaps due to the fact

that pithrus descend on such occasions for prolonged duartion, that

all other vEdik activities are stopped or closed, and cleaning by

water is done after they have left, as done when some one departs to

the other world.

 

The various stories related to grahanam being an inauspicious moment

is perhapes attributed to the horrific spectacle that prevailed and

perhaps continued for decades till the entire yadhava kingdom was

washed off, as a result of or as a sequence of the solar eclipse that

took place before the onset of Kurukshetra war when as against the

usual movement, all the planets in teh sky went retrograde suddenly

in big measures with Mars hopping precariously forward and backward,

Rahu and Ketu going retrograde suddenly by 24* in the sky and the

moon jumping over 2 days and (as a result) amavasya occurring just

after dwadhasi!

 

Terrific happenings that happened around that time as described by

sage Vyasa, in chapters 2 & 3 of Bheeshma parva point out to either a

sudden and violent change in the earth's tilt as effected by a

terrific wobbling in its motion, which could have been a natural

phenomenon in its motion or could have been effected by two supernova

explosions witnessed just opposite to the Sun , in the constellation

of Scorpio (as described by the sage). The events described by the

sage though so terrific but are not clearly due to the eclipse, but

some other cause. Otherwise nowhere else such happenings have been

reported and here again these have not been associated with eclipse.

But fear psychosis has overtaken and over a period of time eclipse

has come to be associated with aspects not related to them.
