Lunar Eclipse or Chandra Grahan can be termed as a celestial phenomenon when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth get aligned in the form of a straight line. The Moon, as it revolves around the Earth, gets positioned behind it, the Sun’s rays falling on the Moon thereby getting blocked by the Earth and casting a shadow on the Moon.The kinds of eclipses can also vary according to the position of the Moon behind the Earth. It can be partial, total or penumbral. The lunar eclipse can only happen on the day of the Full Moon, resulting in two to three Lunar Eclipse in a year.
Significance of Lunar Eclipse
Eclipses or Grahan generally are known to generate harmful rays. Looking at the Moon and being out in the open during this time is a must to avoid. Pregnant women during this time are generally advised to stay indoors as the harmful rays could have an adverse effect on the baby. Astrological science prohibits eating, indulging in sexual intercourse and signing new deals during this time.
The harmful effects at best can be nullified on the grahan through the recitation of ‘Chandra mantra or stotra’ by sprinkling Gangaajal. Chandra Grahan is not all about adverse effects. It also has a positive effect on its natives. It is believed that their prayers are readily accepted and they can also get rid of the ‘doshas’ by worshiping during this time.
