Grastodaya Khagrāsa Chandra Grahanam
(Details as per Sri Sringeri Shankara Math Panchangam)

On the Kartika Poornima day (8-11-2022, Tuesday) of the ensuing Shubhakrit Samvatsara, Grastodaya Khagraasa Chandra Grahanam occurs in the Mesha Rashi corresponding to the Bharani Nakshatra.

Those Astikas associated with the Mesha Rashi are not supposed to see this Grahanam. All those Astikas whose birth Nakshatra is either Ashvini, Bharani, Krittika, Poorvashadha or Poorvaphalguni  Nakshatra and those associated with either the Mesha, Vrishabha, Kanya or Makara Rashi need to do Dosha Parihaara.

Procedures for Astikas during Chandra Grahanam

From sunrise to the Grahana Moksha Kala, fasting needs to be observed by all Astikas. Children, the elderly and those who may be afflicted with health issues, are exempted from this fast. If a Shraaddha is scheduled to be performed on this day, it has to be postponed to the following day. 

Drishya Punya Kala Snanam and Anushthanam

The Grahana Punyakala Snana is to be had at 5:58 PM.

After Snana, Mantras received through Upadesha from a Guru have to be chanted. Those who have not received such Upadesha must chant devata stotras.

Those qualified for doing Pitru Tarpanam must perform Thila Tarpanam for the Pitrus.

After the Grahana Moksha (around 6:20 PM), Snanam must be performed again. 

For Dosha Parihara, rice grains placed inside a white colored cloth and black gram (urad daal) placed inside a grey coloured cloth need to be donated.

  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
