Khagrasa Chandra Grahana or Total Lunar Eclipse will occur on 15-06-2011
Khara Nama Samvatsara – Jyesta Shukla Pournami 15-June-2011
There will be a total Lunar Eclipse on 15-June and this Eclipse occurs in Jyestha Nakshatra, Vrichika Rashi on Wednesday night. This is the first Grahana happening in this year and we have one coming in the month of December later this year.
Grahana Timings:
Sparsha : 11.55 PM (15-Jun)
Madhya : 01.45 AM (16-Jun)
Moksha : 03.33 AM (16-Jun)
Total Parva Kaala : 03 Hours 38 Mins.
Vedarambha Start Time : 02.55 PM on 15-Jun-11
All bhojana and other things need to be taken before this time and one should strictly not consume any eatables/drinks after this time on the Grahana day.
Shuba Pala : Thula, Karka, Kumbha, Meena
Madhya Pala : Vrichika, Simma, Mithuna, Mesha
Ashuba Pala : Dhanusu, Kanya, Vrishaba, Makara
Grahana kaala is called as “Parva Kaala” and in anushtaana, it is like Ekadasi Vrata. If one make use of this opportunity by taking bath at the appropriate time and spending the parva kaala by doing Japa and parayana of Vishnusahasranama, Hari Vayustuti, Rayar Stotra & other stotra, then you will get abundant punya. At the same time, if one just ignores it and continue with the regular stuff like eating and sleeping during the Grahana time, then you will have to face the consequences for sure.
So let us all make use of this highly auspicious time(after all it occurs during the midnight when everyone is at home and there can be no other excuses) by taking the bath during the sparsha time and spend the next three hours in Japa and Paryana till the Moksham happens.
