Pournami Pooja- tommorow

Pournami day is special for many reasons. The sheer pleasure derived from watching a full moon itself is special. In many Shiva temples special pooja is performed on full moon day. People pray for longevity of life to ChitraGupta on this poornima. Here I describe the way we pray the Moon God(Chandran) on this day. We place a mirror in such a way that full moon is seen in the mirror to the performer of this pooja. The mirror is treated like Moon God. It is adorned with garland(Maalai). All rituals that are performed normally for any Moorthy is performed for the Mirror. After Aarathi all those attending the pooja will come near the mirror to see the bimba(image) of moon in the mirror to offer their prayer. Prashaadham is distributed to all those who attended the pooja. Chandran gives us creativity, intelligence, etc., So get ready for tommorow's pournami pooja. A full moon day falling on a Monday is very special!!!
