Dear all, Would like to share a few words about the SOLAR ECLIPSE to come on 15.1.10. The main stars afflicted are:: KRITIKA, UTTARAPHALGUNI (UTTARA) UTTARASHADA (UTHIRADOM) POORVASHADA (POORADOM) SHARAVANA (THIRUVONAM) This is a very long annular solar eclipse and a unique eclipse - to happen on January 15, 2010. The next such a long duration solar eclipse will occur only on 23rd December 3043 AD In fact, if we take the total duration of the eclipse phenomenon, it is between 11:06 hours IST to 15:25 hours IST - a total of more than 4 hours!. We give below some points which are good to be followed during this period from good health point of view:: 1) Avoid eating solid foods after 7 a.m. IST (at least 4 hours before the eclipse duration). 2) Fast during the duration of the eclipse. Even you are advised not drink water. Do maximum meditation and prayers by sitting on a piece of cloth and facing east direction. 4) Any activity that requires intense focus of mind can be performed during eclipse and you will see the good results for yourself. 5) If possible take bath before and the end of the eclipse. 6) Those who do not have both the parents or one parent - you may think of that departed parent and pray for his/her blessings. 7) If it is feasible do donate food or clothes as charity to a few people after the eclipse. 8) VERY IMPORTANT - If any of your family members or relatives are pregnant -- please inform them to stay in the house during the eclipse period and close all the windows and doors. Safety measures to see that neither the Sun and sun rays must not fall on them -- since old texts say that these rays could afflict the child in the womb. Kindly share this message to all near and dear ones and friends.
Splendid work Vijaya. You have brought out all the points to be understood and all the precautions to be taken during eclipse. Thank you. Shanta
Hi, Thank you very much for giving a good information and suggestion to everyone.thumbsup Bye, Sudha batni.
Thx Vijaya...for giving such wonderful details. Just would like to ad one point with ur points. I had read somwhere that after the eclipse when u offer food...as mentioned ...if u offer wheat....will be very good. since the eclipse is associated with sun and for sun navagraha wheat is the grain...offering the same to poor people, will do extraordinary good. Sameway for lunar eclipse..offer rice after the eclipse is over. The above offerings can be made whether ur star is affected or not. Because best "Daanam" is offering food to the poor. So as per the eclipse if the "daanam" is done....then definitely the result will be GOOD. Thx shashu
Hi All, thanks for stepping in & dropping ur wonderful commnts. Also i believe many wud have followd the health points:thumbsup
