Chandra Darshan 2022: Find date, shubh muhurat and significance

-

Chandra Darshan marks the sighting of the moon after Amavasya, meaning the period of the new moon. Hindus mark this occasion in honour of the moon god, Chandra Dev, who is known for his purity, wisdom and happiness. This month, Chandra Darshan falls on 30 July (Saturday).

According to Hindu belief, the first sighting of the moon after the new moon has a lot of spiritual importance and religious significance attached to it. Devotees, who believe in Chandra Dev, keep a day-long fast to pay their respect to the moon god. They believe that those who observe a fast will be blessed with good luck and prosperity.

Apart from observing a fast, devotees also chant mantras in praise of Chandra Dev. They chant these mantras to get rid of negative thoughts and calm one’s mind, body and soul. This auspicious day is observed with great fervour and devotion in different parts of the country.

Shubh Muhurat:

According to Prokerala, the Pratipada Tithi timing begins on 28 July 2022 at 11: 25 pm and ends on 30 July 2022 at 1:21 am. The moonrise will take place on 30 July at 7:05 am and the moonset will occur on the same day at 8:32 pm.

Significance:

Chandra Dev is considered to be one of the most admired deities in Hindu mythology. For Hindus, the moon is known to be a favourable planet and also associated with wisdom, purity and good intentions. According to beliefs, Chandra Dev is married to the 27 Nakshatras, who are the daughters of King Prajapati Daksha. King Daksha is also the father of Budha or Planet Mercury.

Devotees believe that worshipping the moon will bless them with successful and prosperous life.

The Moon god is also a significant Graha (planet of the Navgraha) which influences life on earth. The moon is even more significant for the Hindu community as their calendar is based on the lunar cycle.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-
Image
After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
