KATHA OF GRAHAN ECLIPSES
When the gods and the demons churned the milky ocean in days of yore, nectar came out of it. Lord Vishnu assumed the form of Mohini, a charming lady, deluded the demons and distributed the nectar only among the gods. But Rahu had disguised himself as a god. The sun and the moon pointed this out to Mohini who immediately slashed off the demon’s head. Since the nectar had by then already reached up to the neck, he did not die. Thus the head came to be known as Rahu and the body as Ketu. To avenge this betrayal, Rahu and Ketu periodically eclipse the sun and the moon. In Hindu astrology Rahu and Ketu are known as two invisible planets. They are enemies of the Sun and the Moon, who at certain times of the year (during conjunction or opposition) swallow the Sun or the Moon causing either a solar or a lunar eclipse. In Sanskrit this is known as grahanam, which is literally "a seizing." It is thought that the sun and the moon suffer a lot when demons 'Rahu' and 'Ketu' seize them and start swallowing them slowly as a snake swallows a frog. If the eclipse lasted too long they might die ! Thus for the early release of the sun and the moon from an eclipse nothing could be done except praying to the gods and goddesses. Therefore, the holy and noble minded men of the past introduced these rites and rituals for the well-being of the sun and moon, for good of themselves and for the good of all inhabitants of this world.Do’s and Don’ts for Eclipse The eclipse Vrata should be observed if any part of the eclipse is visible from the country that you are residing in

.BEFORE ECLIPSE:
Wash clothes used for puja and others, your house, temple should be cleaned. Bed, Blankets, etc. are to be dusted or exposed to sunlight. During the eclipse all cooked food becomes impure and not fit to be eaten afterwards. Food made by mixing flour and water should not be eaten, do not keep drinking water in a pot. Any food, cloths or any items stored in a place can be made pure by putting a holy grass (Dabro). Putting a grass this way avoids any item being impure.One should not take food during the eclipse. When the eclipse begins the food should by then have been digested. One should take food only after seeing the sun or the moon free from the eclipse. When the clear sun or the moon is not seen before sunset or sunrise, in the case of the solar and lunar eclipse respectively, food can be taken only after the sun or the moon is seen the next day. Gautama in Parashar Madhava explains the fasts to be observed, ‘All except the young, the old and the ill should stop eating four Prahars (12 hours) before a solar eclipse commences and three Prahars (9 hours) before a lunar eclipse commences. The young, the old and the ill should stop eating one Prahar (3 hours) before an eclipse.’AFTER ECLIPSEAfter Eclipse is over, do not touch clothes before taking bath. So, before eclipse begins, put aside clothes/towel but this should be clean and unworn cloths. to be used after your bath. Clothes which are unclean or have been worn or touched are impure and to be washed after the eclipse. Prepare the place for worship during eclipse, do not use cotton sheets to sit on, such sheets should be dusted and put away. Put aside other activities and plan to spend time doing Dhun/Kirtan.

DURING ECLIPSE
During the eclipse, Lord has said in the Shikshapatri:Whenever an eclipse of the Sun or the Moon takes place, all my disciples shall immediately suspend all work and after purifying themselves shall chant the Mantra of Shree Krishna। Shloka 86Prepare the asan to sit on and lit a diva and sit peacefully in a middles of the house or a room and then chant kirtan, jap or read scriptures. Spend your time doing Dhun/Kirtan, reading/listening scriptures etc. Those who do Japa at the time of the eclipse derive great benefits. For example if you do 1 mara during the eclipse, it has the same fruits as doing 100 maras on a normal day. The effect of Japa and Sankirtan during the eclipse contributes towards relieving the suffering of humanity and also of the planets. These people receive the blessings of the gods. They attain perfection quickly. The little intellect cannot understand many things in this universe. Hence, have faith in the words of sages. Ignorance has eclipsed Self-knowledge. However, this eclipse will disappear. You will shine in your own glory. This is the spiritual significance of the eclipse.How to do JapChant within your heart – this is more rewardingChant mumering – medium rewardingChant loudly – less rewarding Pray to god to protect us from the vices like lust, and anger॥ Pregnant women should not see the sun or the moon during the time of the eclipse. If they do the child born may have some kind of defect. He may be born deaf, dumb or blind. Householders are forbidden from sexual intercourse on the day of the eclipse, for the same reasonEven science says that during eclipse lots of germs are produced which has adverse effects on the human body. It is recommended to avoid sleep during the eclipse and one should engage in religious activities as then the fruits 100 times more rewarding.

When the eclipse is over, they shall take a bath with clothes worn at that time. Householders shall give alms to the poor according to their means and ascetics shall worship God. Shloka 87Take bath/shower with all clothes and then only touch/wear clean clothes.
