Grahana – Eclipse

Grahana Dosha, known as Eclipse Affliction caused by Rahu and Ketu, is a significant aspect of Vedic Astrology. It occurs when the Sun or Moon aligns with Rahu or Ketu during birth or an eclipse, bringing potential challenges such as delayed marriage, relationship conflicts, pregnancy issues, financial setbacks, career hurdles, and health issues, leading to a sense of isolation.

However, there are remedies to mitigate these effects based on the specific Dosha:

Poorna Surya Grahana Dosha Solar Eclipse

  • Engaging in the Grahana Dosha Yagya Remedy can neutralize the eclipse’s negative impacts.
  • Chanting the Gayatri Mantra 108 times daily at sunrise, especially on Sundays, and offering Argya (water oblation) to the Sun.
  • Donating jaggery to priests for seven consecutive Sundays during auspicious timings.
  • Considering wearing a Ruby or keeping a Surya Yantra at home after consulting with an astrologer.
  • Daily prayers to Lord Vishnu, as the Sun is considered an aspect of Vishnu.

Poorna Chandra Grahana Dosha Lunar Eclipse

  • Engaging in the Grahana Dosha Yagya Remedy can neutralize the eclipse’s negative impacts.
  • Chanting Moon Mantras like ‘Om Somaaya Namaha’ or ‘Om Chandraaya Namaha’ 108 times a day, especially on Mondays.
  • Donating milk for four consecutive Mondays during auspicious timings.
  • Considering wearing a Pearl or keeping a Chandra Yantra at home after consulting with an astrologer.
  • Daily prayers to Lord Shiva, as he is believed to have saved the Moon from a curse.

Remember, these remedies are not just about mitigating challenges but also about strengthening your resolve and finding inner peace amidst life’s ups and downs. Each step you take towards balancing these cosmic influences brings you closer to harmony and fulfillment.

Grahana shanti Yagya

The Grahana Shanti Yagya, also known as the Eclipse Peace Ceremony, is a sacred Vedic ritual performed to appease the malefic effects of eclipses, particularly the influence of Rahu and Ketu. During eclipses, it is believed that these shadowy planets can exert a negative influence on individuals and the world at large. The Grahana Shanti Yagya is performed by qualified Vedic priests to invoke divine blessings and protection, seeking peace, harmony, and spiritual upliftment. It involves the chanting of Vedic mantras, offering of oblations into the sacred fire, and other ritualistic practices to counteract the adverse effects of the eclipse and promote well-being.
