Grahana Sparsha Time 11.05am (IST)
Madhya Kaala – 1.14 pm
Grahana Moksha Time 3.38pm (IST)
1. On Grahana day – We must not do panchamrutha, phalasamarpane and Hastodaka, to yathigalu, as the Yathigalu will be on fasting on this day.
2. We can take food upto 9.22 pm on 14.1.2010
3. Vedarambha starts @ 9.22 pm on 14.1.2010
4. On 15.1.2010 Morning nothing to be taken.
5. Grahana period is termed as “Parva kaala”. 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.
6. Shraddha if it is falling on 15.1..2010 can be done on
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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 devate’s row. Srihari gave him Amrutha also. At that time Sun and Moon, on seeing that Swarbhanu has come in Devate’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 didn’t enter beyond mouth, Srihari had removed his head. As such, the head of the daithya was fixed to a snake’s body to become “Rahu”, and the other portion without head is called as “Kethu”. 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.
10. 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 “ananta” (uncountable) .
11. Homa and shanthi done during Grahana period gets phala which is more than crore time phala.
12. Even those who are observing soothaka also must observe Grahana snaana.
13. Even the Rajaswala ladies must observe Grahana snaana.
14. While doing sparsha snaana, we must do the snaana with the clothes we are wearing in.
15. Tarpana during Grahana Madhya kaala : – 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.
16. During Grahana we must do daanaas – Godaana, Suvarna Daana, Bhoodana, dhaanya dhaana (yathaashakthi. )
17. 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.
18. Two days prior and two days after Grahana are Varjya for “Shubha Kaarya”.
19. Tarpana during Grahana period
20. 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, and ladies atleast then can chant the following mantra :
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 –
