Dear Devotees :
A question was asked by a devotee about the
procedures
to be followed during the GrahaNams . Let me
summarize them
for the groups as known to me . Please add anything that needs
to be added .In all final observances , the
sishtAchAram of Your
family as instructed by oyur AchAryAs take
precedence .
There are two categories of anushtAthAs (
observers) :
1.Those who do not need to perform TarpaNam
.
2.Those who have to perform TarpaNam .
There are also slightly different procedures
for
Chandra and Soorya GrahaNams .
Chandra GrahaNam
*************************
An hour before the onset of GrahaNam , please
recite
the Veda Manthram (2 Rks) from Navagraha
Manthrams
10 or 28 or 108 times. When the GrahaNam starts ,
the Gaayathri
and/or ashtAkshara Japam should be performed .
TarpaNam is
done after GrahaNam . Those who TarpaNam bathe
before TarpaNam .
Soorya GrahaNam
**********************
Prior to GrahaNam , the Aadhithya Manthram from the
Navagraha
Rk is to be recited for 10 or 28 or 108
Times. At the start of
the GrahaNam , bath has to be taken .TarpaNam commences thereafter.
Manthra Japam of choice follows for both kinds of anushtAthAs.
At the end of the GrahaNam , once again SnAnam has to be performed .
There are thus 2 snAnams for Soorya GrahaNam .
The Sankalpam for the Chandra GrahaNa Kaala TarpaNam
