Guest guest Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Dr.BalaKrishna Murthy Ramaraju ( ATHREYA ) < dr.balakrishnamurthy.ramaraju > Rochester , Minnesota 55902 , USA . aathreya - SAMPOORNA CHANDRA GRAHANAM Total Lunar Eclipse on Saturday , 2007-03-03 / Sunday 2007-03-03 UT from 8.18 Pm to 2.24 AM on Sunday IST from 1.48 AM to 7.54 AM on Sunday EST USA from 3.18 PM to 9.24 PM on Saturday CST USA from 2.18 PM to 8.24 PM on Saturday. Kethu Grastha Chandra Grahanam. Kethu is Dragon Tail , Descending Lunar Node. Kethu is Brother of Raahu or can be considered as the caudal portion of Raahu where as Raahu is Dragon Head , Ascending Lunar Node. Both Raahu and Kethu are sons of Kashyapa and Simhika. Originally they are one only but Severed by Mohini Avathaar of Lord Vishnu. Because they were betrayed by Ravi and Chandra , raahu and Kethu periodically take revenge on Ravi and Chandra. Kethu Grastha Chandra GrahaNam starts from the lower aspect of Lunar Disc in Poorva PhalguNi (Pubba) Nakshathra in Simha (LEO) Raasi. As ordained by Rishis, People who are born under that Star better they do Navagraha Japam and avoid exposure to GrahaNam and also Women who are in first trimester of pregnancy better avoid Eclipsed Moon for fear of teratogenic effects on the baby like a Cleft Lip. This may not be scientifically substantiated but I am only passing on lore of millenia passed down from Vedic Sages to our fore fathers. As per Astronomers this total lunar eclipse is seen all over the world at one time or another. Chandra , Sasi, Soma is manifest as two births - first as the Eldest Son of Athri and Anasooya as a Brahma Amsa Sambhhotha and second as a brother of MahaLakshmi from the Milky Ocean at the time of Ksheera Saagara Madhanam.Chandra is an AATHREYASA. He fell in love with Thaara and begat Mercury (BUDDHA) who became a student of Deva Guru Bruhaspathi. Buddha married ILaDevi daughter of Manu and thereby started Chandra Vamsa Dynasty of Kings. Chandra further married daughters of Daksha , but was very fond of ROHINI which upset Daksha who made Chandra go through phases of darkness and brightness once in a fortnight. Aapa( water=VaruN) is Chandra's AdhiDevatha and GAURI is His PrathyadhiDevatha. Chandra is Karkaataka Rasi Addhipathi and has no enemies Chandra started as a separate planet but was captured by Mother Earth for giving Humanity reflected light during the bright half Sukla Paksha of Month Now on 2007.03.03 for about six hours the reflected glory of Moon will be masked by Mother Earth. So those who beleive may pray for Chandra and also KETHU , Nava Grahas. Sarve Janaah Sukhino Bhavanthu. aathreya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
