Chandra Grahan is considered even if the Moon is not visible due to cloudy weather or some other weather conditions. But, if the Chandra Grahan (eclipse) is not visible in ones city, then there is no need to observe that eclipse.

 

When Sun and Moon Eclipse (Surya, Chandra Grahan) occurs its understanding? Which types of the eclipse are there?

When the Sutak kaal – chaayaa (shadow) of the Sun and Moon Eclipse begins?

What is the Sutak kaal (shadow of lunar eclipse) in 2017, Monday 7^th August?

“A scientific understanding of any phenomenon starts by sorting the available observations into appropriate grouping based upon some fundamental characteristics”. “The basic phenomenon is subdivided into different types”. The terms of the eclipse are : (at perigee, at apogee, a total eclipse, an annulus, an annular eclipse, grazing eclipse, solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, partial eclipse, insects, avadanids).

Sun Eclipse occurs on the 30^th digit of the moon i.e. Aavasya-Umas which falls on (Undhai-Vadi-Krishna Paksh) during day of the dark fortnight. Moon eclipse occurs on the 15^th digit of the full moon – Pornima (Sahai-Sudi-Shukla Paksh) during bright fortnight.

Sun, Moon and Earth coming in a straight line configuration; in brief, let us know a little about eclipses of moon and sun to understand the phenomenon :

Solar eclipse occurs when the moon is in line between the earth and the sun. The moon casts its shadow on the earth’s surface and obscures some parts on the sun. The proportion of the sun being blocked depends on the position of the observer on the earth. When only the moon’s penumbral shadow strikes the earth, a partial eclipse of the sun is observed. However, if the moon’s dark umbra shadow sweeps across earth’s surface, a total eclipse of the sun is seen. Sometimes the moon is further away from the earth and its umbral shadow is not long enough to reach the earth. The moon appears smaller than the sun and cannot completely cover it. Instead, the “antumbral” or negative shadow reaches the earth. If one is within this shadow one will see an eclipse where a ring or “annulus” of bright sunlight surrounds the moon at the maximum phase. Those within the penumbra would observe a partial eclipse.

 

What are the ‘precautions’ to take during eclipse?

Which are the precautions believed to take into consideration before the start of the eclipse?

Which are the precautions believed to take into consideration after the eclipse ends (grahan moksha)? What is Grahan Moksha? What is significance of ‘Moksha’ of Grahana in Hindu astrology? Meaning of Moksha of Grahan in Sanskrit dictionary reads, “In astrology, the liberation of an eclipsed planet, the end of an eclipse”.

 

It is believed, to avoid an adverse effect during eclipse as well as during chaya i.e. sutak-kaal (shadow time of an eclipse) :

1. i) Pregnant ladies – expectant mother and father should avoid using the knives, scissors, nails, hammers, sharp things. And in particular mother has to observe other precautions as well.
2. ii) One can recite, can sing the glory of the God, listen to the holy verses or chant mantras.

Note : 1) If the eclipse is not visible in any particular place. Then no need to observe that eclipse.

2) To observe the main time duration of an eclipse from start till end in particular including sutak time.

3) To observe shadow of Solar eclipse 12 hours before the eclipse begins. And for moon 9 hours before the eclipse.

The eclipse of sun and moon, is there any science and scientific depth? Shall we discard observing grahan, because of the lack of science in it? In which puran grahan – eclipse is mentioned?

In an ancient time through the works on minutes of the subject matter, is enormously appreciable. Their approach and application of applied system is believed by Hindus. Hence, though time has passed, but yet that knowledge is used in serving Hindu community. Thus, though ancient, the knowledge which can sustain and protect; has a long lasting sustaintability. Among eighteen Puranas, Mahabharata puranam wherein the services of Sri Ganesha was engaged by Sri Veda Vyas. Therein, in the puran, the mention of the Surya, Chandra and Rahu; and Grahan (the eclipse of Sun and Moon is there). That very same Sun, Moon and Rahu (i.e. Dragon’s Head) is also denoted at present and at the puranic time; samudra manthan (churning of an ocean).

Those who understand what is an analysis, an observation, an assumption, a hypothesis, a generalization, three variable (changeable, fixed – permanent) fact and an additional fact(s) related to the subject matter? One can decide accordingly the status of the subject matter. Do we know what happened in Bharat (India) one of the year 1897 eclipse of an ‘Sarva Graas Surya Grahan’? The total eclipse of the sun took place in India. The subject matter draws the different understanding towards that total eclipse of the Sun and the relative study of the eclipse. When is the next total eclipse of the sun? In year 2090, is total eclipse of the sun.

Rahu graha – grah: Dictionary reads, “ ‘the Seizer’, a Daitya or demon who is supposed to seize the sun and moon and thus cause eclipses (he is fabled as a son of Vipra-citti and Sinhikā and as having a dragon’s tail; when the devtas had churned the ocean for the Amrita or nectar of immortality, he disguised himself like one of them and drank a portion, but the Sun and Moon revealed the fraud to Vishnu, who cut off Rahu’s head, which thereupon became fixed in the stellar sphere, and having become immortal through drinking the Amrita, has ever since wreaked its vengeance on the Sun and Moon by occasionally swallowing them; while at the same time the tail of the demon became Ketu [q.v.] and gave birth to a numerous progency of comets and fiery meteors; in astronomy Rahu is variously regarded as a dragon’s head, as the ascending node of the moon [or point where the moon intersects the ecliptic in passing northwards], as one of the planets [graha], and as the regent of the south-west quarter [Laghu]”. “An eclipse or (rather) the moment of the beginning of an occultation or obscuration”. Whereas Ketu in astrology is mentioned, a decending node.
