Lunar Eclipse on 31st December 2009 - Perform Grahana Shanti Pooja

A partial lunar eclipse is scheduled to occur on 31st December 2009, starting at 10:45pm. The Rashis which are adversely affected by this eclipse are Mithuna (Gemini), Karkataka Rashi (Cancer), Vrischika (Scorpio) and Meena (Pisces). Natives of these Rashis are strongly advised to offer pooja at Chandra Navagraha Sthalam to overcome the ill effects of this grahanam.


Offer Pooja to Chandra at Kailasanathar Temple for $9.00 (Rs. 415/-)




The Navagrahasthalam associated with Chandra, the moon god, called Thingai in Tamil, is located in the Kailasanathar temple at Tingaloor near Thanjavur in Tamilnadu. The temple has a shrine dedicated to Chandran.

A visit to this temple is said to grant a confortable and long life. In astrology, Chandran is the planet that rules the mind. A strong and well placed moon in the horoscope gives a strong mind (Chandra Bala). When the moon is debilitated or afflicted by evil planets like Rahu, it leads to an unstable mind, sorrow, mood fluctuations etc.

Offering pooja to Chandra here is an excellent parihara for chandra dosha and can help mitigate its adverse impact.
