DO’s AND DON’Ts IN DAY TO DAY LIFE - PART 9

ECLIPSE
We have to take food before 4 Yamas before the solar eclipse. In case of Moon eclipse, food should be taken before 3 Yamas.

In case of lunar eclipse, if the moon sets before the end of eclipse, (Grahana asthamana) we should not take food during day time and take food only after seeing the moon. In case of Solar eclipse,  we should not take any food during night if the eclipse ends after sun-set and take food only in the next morning after seeing the Sun.

When the eclipse commences , we can take bath in the sea but the purification bath after eclipse should not be taken in sea.

Bathing in the sea is permitted only on amavasya and Pournavasya except in Rameshwaram.

A women in periods should take the eclipse bath from water which is poured on her by others.

During eclipse all waters are equivalent to Ganges water and all Brahmins are equivalent to Vasishta.

Till the end of eclipse we should not sleep but keep on chanting mantras.

Pregnant women should not come out during eclipse.

If any left over food is there prepared before eclipse, it should not be eaten. Food should be freshly prepared after eclipse is over.


In case of curd or pickles , we have to put cut Durbha grass in them ,After the purificatory bath, this Durbha should be removed.
