Lunar Eclipse
Namaste,
We're having a total lunar eclipse over here in India, just watched it outside after the fog cleared and witnessed a truly beautiful sight.
On a related note, we have certain beliefs here such as not eating or drinking anything during the eclipse's duration - there are several rationalist folks seen debunking these on TV whenever this happens. Just wanted to know, what are the views of our friends here? Although I did as mom asked just to avoid an argument, I know of no scientific backing behind these claims and have always considered them to be superstitions (heck, I've always sneaked in snacks between and nothing ever happened ), and don't really care about them for I think our dharma isn't contingent on such beliefs in any way, but would like to know more out of curiosity.
Fully aware of the deficiency of my intelligence, I concentrate my attention on the son of Pavana,
And humbly ask for strength, intelligence and true knowledge to relieve me of all painful blemishes.
