Namaskara
Dear Devotees,
* The eclipse time is called as ‘ Punya Kala’ ( most sacred time)
What to do (As per our ancient scriptures)
* It is suggested to take bath ( Punya Snaana) at the beginning of this eclipse
*Snaana (Bath) is must for all, after the end of this Chandra GrahaNa.
*Fasting is insisted by our scriptures for ‘this eclipse’ from 9 hours before the eclipse begins.
(3 hours for very sick and babies)
* Fasting has to be continued until the Sunrise (Friday, Nov 19th followed by Bath, Cooking, Pooja and Naivedya.
* Any ‘daana’ or ‘Punya – Karma’ ‘Samkalpa’ done with full faith in this period yields immense ‘Phala’
* ‘Eclipse time’ is considered as most ‘fruitful’ time for any Japa, Parayana and Tarpana.
* We have to wash the clothes, etc touched/used through the ellipse. (wash- at the end of this eclipse but before the Snaana )
Not to do
* Do not keep any food (except milk / yogurt) through the ellipse.
* We may keep Dharbhe or Tila on ghee, milk etc. To keep the purity.
* Do not sleep, eat, drink, and use restrooms during the eclipse. (Excluding babies, very sick…..)
GrahaNa Dosha (astrological effect of the eclipse)
* This eclipse will take place in ‘Kritika Nakshatra’ - ‘Vrushabha Rashi’
* It will also affect following Rashis : Mesha, Mithuna, Tula and Dhanu.
* People who born in above rashi-s and lives in eclipse visible area are required to do remedies.
* Grahana Dosha is just indicating the ‘karma’ of our previous lives and insisting us to do more Punya to avoid its negative effect. So, no fear.
*Let’s take this opportunity to do more Sat-karma , please Almighty and be
