Chandra Grahan 2026 Timings, Sutak and Sadhana Guide.

Описание: Chandra Grahan 2026 🌔

A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow upon the Moon. In the Puranic narrative, during Samudra Manthan, Svarbhanu drank Amrit and was divided into Rahu and Ketu. Since then, they are believed to periodically eclipse the Sun and Moon.

🧘🏻 What to Do During Sutak Kaal

Sutak begins in the morning and is considered a spiritually sensitive time.
• Avoid cooking and eating after Sutak begins.
• If required to drink water, keep Tulsi leaves in it.
• Sit in a clean and calm space.
• Focus on Mantra Jaap — Mahamrityunjaya Mantra or your Ishta Mantra.
• Light meditation and quiet reflection are beneficial.

🌑 During Grahan Kaal (6:26 PM – 6:46 PM)
This is the most powerful window of the eclipse.
• Sit peacefully and chant continuously.
• You may perform mental Abhishekam if at home.
• Avoid eating or drinking during this period.
• Keep your awareness steady and focused.

Scriptures advise bathing at the beginning and end of Grahan, as water is considered especially purifying during this time.

🌾 After Grahan Ends
• Take a bath.
• Clean your place of worship.
• Prepare fresh food.
• Perform Annadanam if possible. Feed the needy, cows, birds, or animals.
Charity after Grahan is believed to help balance Karma and bring blessings.

🕉️ Guidelines for Pregnant Women

✅ Do:
• Stay indoors in a calm environment.
• Chant Santana Gopala Mantra or Mahamrityunjaya Mantra.
• Apply sandalwood or turmeric paste gently on the abdomen.
• Keep Tulsi leaves nearby.

❌ Avoid:
• Stepping outside during the eclipse.
• Watching the eclipse directly.
• Eating food prepared before Sutak.

📍Most importantly observe this Grahan with calmness. These practices are meant to increase awareness and discipline, not fear. If something is missed unintentionally, there is no need to worry. Do every Jaap every ritual with Bhav and complete surrender towards the divine.
