Are mental stress and constant obstacles troubling your life? 🌑 The reason might be the Rahu-Chandra Grahan Dosh! 🔱

On the rare conjunction of Purnima and the Rahu-ruled Swati Nakshatra, seize this auspicious opportunity to be free from Rahu-Chandra Dosh! 🌕🔮

In Sanatan Dharma, the festival of Purnima (full moon) holds deep spiritual significance. Devotees express their devotion and faith by observing fasts and performing acts of charity on this sacred day. This time, the Purnima is especially powerful due to its rare conjunction with Swati Nakshatra, which is ruled by Rahu. This rare celestial event is considered highly auspicious and impactful from a Vedic perspective—particularly for those seeking relief from Rahu-Chandra Grahan Dosh. According to Vedic astrology, Rahu-Chandra Grahan Dosh occurs when Rahu and the Moon are positioned in the same house in a birth chart, or when Rahu aspects the Moon. This dosh (flawed planetary combination) is known to cause mental stress, confusion, emotional instability, family disputes, and recurring obstacles in life. It negatively affects both the mind and fortune of the individual. During this rare alignment of Purnima and Rahu-ruled Swati Nakshatra, chanting the Beej mantras of Rahu and the Moon, along with performing a special Grahan Dosh Shanti Yagya, is considered highly beneficial. These remedies not only bring mental peace but also pacify planetary negativity and help restore stability in life.

Do you know why there is such a deep conflict between Rahu and Chandra Dev? 🌑🌕

According to legend, during the churning of Samudra Manthan, the demon Swarbhanu disguised himself as a deity and consumed the nectar of immortality (Amrit). However, the Sun (Surya) and the Moon (Chandra) exposed his deception. In response, Lord Vishnu used his Sudarshan Chakra to sever Swarbhanu’s head from his body. Because he had already consumed the Amrit, his head became immortal as Rahu, and his body as Ketu. Since then, Rahu is believed to periodically "swallow" the Sun and Moon, causing eclipses. This celestial phenomenon is known as Rahu-Chandra Dosh, which is particularly potent during lunar eclipses. On this special occasion, during the auspicious conjunction of Purnima and Swati Nakshatra, Rahu Chandra Grahan Dosha Shanti Yagya and 18,000 Rahu Mool Mantra jaap & 10,000 Chandra Mool mantra Jaap will be performed at the famous Rahu Paithani Temple in Uttarakhand. The ritual will be conducted during Brahma Muhurat, the most sacred and spiritually charged time of day as per the scriptures, when positive energy is at its peak.

You too can participate in this rare and potent ritual through Sri Mandir and seek freedom from Rahu-Chandra Dosh, along with blessings of mental peace, obstacle removal, and good fortune in life.

👉 Why do devotees worship at the Markandey Mahadev Temple for their child's future, protection, and well-being?

The Markandey Mahadev Temple in Kashi is considered a sacred and revered site for devotees of Lord Shiva. It is believed that this is the very place where Sage Markandeya, along with his parents, worshipped Lord Shiva and received the blessing of long life. Because of this, the rituals and prayers performed at this temple are considered especially beneficial for the well-being and longevity of one’s children. Monday is regarded as a day dedicated to Lord Shiva, and it is believed that any worship offered at this temple on this day becomes many times more powerful. Lord Shiva is said to be easily pleased on Mondays, and the prayers of devotees bear swift results. In honor of this sacred tradition, Sri Mandir is organizing a special ritual on Monday at the Markandey Mahadev Temple in Kashi, which will include chanting of the Markandey Mahadev Mantra, Yam Dand Mukti Pujan, and Ayushya Homa.

According to a popular legend, Sage Markandey was born with a short lifespan. When he became aware that his end was near at the age of 14, he composed the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra and, along with his parents, began worshipping Lord Shiva with deep devotion by creating a Shiva Lingam out of sand at the confluence of the Ganga and Gomti rivers. As soon as he turned 14, Yamaraj (the god of death) came to take his soul. At that moment, Markandey was deeply engrossed in meditation and chanting Lord Shiva's name. As Yamaraj approached him, Lord Shiva manifested in a divine form and forced Yamaraj to retreat. After this, Lord Shiva declared that Sage Markandey would remain immortal and proclaimed that in the future, people would worship Markandey first, and then Him.

Since this divine event, the sacred site has been regarded as a powerful spiritual center dedicated to Lord Shiva and His devoted follower, Sage Markandey. It is believed that any devotee who chants the Markandey Mahadev Mantra at this temple receives the special blessings of Lord Shiva. Just as Lord Shiva granted Sage Markandey long life and divine protection, the Ayushya Homa is performed to bless devotees with good health and protection from untimely death. Therefore, participate in the Monday Markandey Mahadev Santaan Sukh Prapti Special puja through Sri Mandir, and receive the compassionate grace of Lord Shiva for your child's good health, long life, and a prosperous future.
