Sunday, July 19, 2009 , Posted by S Kafle at 9:52 PM

As said in the previous post, June 22 is going to be the day when the earth will witness the longest solar eclipse of the century. I will talk from religious view about the Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) in this post.

In Hindu Mythology, sun is swallowed by two demons Rahu and Ketu in the solar eclipse. People are not advised to eat, drink or sleep during, before and after sometimes the eclipse occurs. It is advised to take bath in a religious place. It is regarded as a wonderful time to perform any type of worships.

The July 22 Surya Grahan may bring a lot of changes if we look from religious views. here are some: (Source: The Himalayan Times- July 19, 2009)

1) In a span of 30 days 3 eclipses are going to take place - two lunar and one solar. The first recorded triple eclipse was in 3067 BC - the 18-day period of Mahabharata. Triple eclipses took place in series from 1910 to 1945 when wars like World War I, WW II, nuclear bombing took place. In Biblical stories triple eclipse are linked to destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

2) Financial problems in world may worsen which will improve by the end of year and Agricultural sector in Asia may face several issues due to scanty rainfall.

3)As said earlier war may outbreak and political instability may take place.

4) Psychological problem may arise.

5)Women may face stomach problem. Giving birth during this period is not advised.

This may not be true as many scientists and some astrologers too regard the eclipse as a good sign rather than the cause of violence and irregularities. Scientists believe it to be a chance to perform a lot of research and discoveries.
