Sri Gurubyom Namaha...

I am planning to perform Chandrayana vratam, starting tomorrow until badrapadha purnima covering one full month.

However we do Nirjala Ekadasi vratam from so many years which I find it conflicting if I take up Chandrayana vratam as I need to take 4 handful portions of food during krishna paksha and 11 handfuls during sukla paksha.

May you kindly help us on how I can carry out both?

Also I would like to understand the rules that we need to follow during this penance like:
  • Bhusayanam
  • Bath thrice a day
  • Take Sattvik food
  • Brahmacharyam

Can we take water other than the handful quota of food per day?

Please shed some light to help me in completing the first Chandrayana vrat.

Namo Narayanaya
 
vasister says about chandrayanam:- (I am copying from samkeshapa dhrama sastra book ) you have to make sankalpam for chandrayana vratham on krishna paksha prathamai. on krishna paksha prathamai day you can take 14 handful portion of food. from the next day reduce one handful rice daily on amavasai day no food. again from sukla paksha prathamai day take one hand ful of rice and increase one handful daily and on full moon day you are taking 15 handful of rice. uthyaapanam. over dakshinai, dhaanam; homam; shaving etc. are there.

Another method:-- take on sukla paksha prathamai day one handful of rice and increase it daily one. on full moon day you are taking 15 handful of rice. on krishna paksha prathamai day take 14 hand ful of rice and reduce one handful daily. on new moon day upavasam.

RISHI CHANDRAYANAM:- take 3 handful of rice daily for one month .

SISU CHANDRAYANAM;- Daily take 4 handful of rice at noon and at night 4 handful of rice for one month.

yathi chandrayanam:- daily take 8 handful of rice once a day for one month.

Now a days as nobody is doing this purohit/sastrikal knows nothing about this.
