believed to cause severe health problems and are never advisable to be seen. As
per the Agni Puraan it is believed that patients especially those suffering with
hormonal and psychological problems, kids and pregnant ladies should NOT see the
Eclipse at all. The Negative energies released during the eclipse can cause
sever problems to the eyes, skin and hormones.
Remedial
Measures for Eclipse:
In Vedas, it is
clearly mentioned that the effect of Eclipse starts 12 hours before the actual
occurrence of the event. This period of 12 hours is known as sootak.
Everyone must meditate and worship their Kuldevta. In case, one does not have
any information about the Kuldevta then worshipping Lord Ganesha is ideally
suggested.
Do's and Don'ts during
Eclipse :
According to
Dharm Sindu (the ancient treatise on Religious rituals),
"Grahsparshkaalesnaanam
madhye homah suraarchanam shraadham chamuchyamaane daanam mukte snanmiti kramah
"
It means that a
native must take bath at the beginning of the eclipse, do a homam and prayers
while the eclipse is going on and do shraadh or daan at the conclusion of the
eclipse. Following this ritual blesses the native with happiness of all kinds
and prevents the evil effect of the eclipse.
Food prepared
before the eclipse must not be consumed during or after the Eclipse. As during
the eclipse negative or harmful rays are circulated in the environment. It is
therefore advised to remain indoors and avoid looking directly at the eclipse.
These rays also get absorbed in the food. The cooked food should be eaten before
eclipse. People should avoid eating and drinking during the eclipse phase too.
Drinking water can be kept pure by adding Tulsi (Basil leaves). Tulsi leaves
have religious, herbal as well as medicinal relevance. This keeps the water
pure. One should also refrain from sleeping during this period. These tips
should be strictly observed by pregnant women.
Maharshi
Gautama in Parashar Madhava explains “All except the young, the old and the ill
should stop eating four Prahars (12 hours) before a solar eclipse commences. The
young, the old and the ill should stop eating one Prahar (3 hours) before an
eclipse.”
After bath, one
should prepare food and offer it to their diety at home and then eat the Prasad.
Many people give alms to the poor and the needy to derive some punya or
benefits.
However,
Bhargawa-archan-deepika and Jyotirnibandh mentions some eatables prepared before
Eclipse to be allowed for consumption after eclipse. These are Ghee, Curd, Oil,
Cooked Food, Milk and Milk products. It is suggested that 'KUSHA' must be kept
over the vessles containing these food items.
