Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Dear Members, Chandra-Grahana Shanthi Mantra / Japa can be chanted by all during the eclipse. People with birth stars magha, aslesha. poorva phalguni, aswini and moola are advised to chant the mantra. Parents or other realtives can chant the mantras on behalf of young children and those who cannot chant the mantras. Grahana Shanthi Japa Yasow Vajra Dharo Deva : Aadithyaanaam Prabhurmatha: I Sahasra Kiranana Chandra: Graha Peedam Vyapoahathu II Om Kleem Sam Somaya Nama: This can be done for 108 times after taking a bath just before the grahana samaya(penumbral-capture) and after the grahana samaya, one must take bath again. Also, the Grahana-samprokshana-vidhi, the mode of purifying the house after the Grahana-samayam is to mix turmeric into water and then chanting the Narayana Suktham and the Rudra Prasnam to sprinkle the energized water throughout the house. Please check for the lunar eclipse times in your respective regions. Also, doing any mantra during the Chandra Grahana will yield a result of 1000 times the count. In other words if a Japa of say Panchadasi is done for 108 times during the eclipse it is equivalent to doing 108,000 times!. For Suryagarahanam it is even more.(Some sources quote: 100 for moon and 1000 for sun). So, one must take the best of all opportunities which is coming today and try to do as many rounds as possible of the Srividya Mantra or any other powerful mantra initiated. http://bhagavathy.blogspot.com/2007/03/grahanam.html (See an interesting blog-write up on Grahanam) Shreeram Balijepalli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
