The 61 Eclipses of 2038

What Eclipses Mean in Sanātana Dharma

Per the Bhāgavata Purāṇa: a grahaṇa (eclipse) is a heightened-resonance moment when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align with the Rāhu-Ketu nodal axis. Traditional observance:

• Fasting from the start to the end of the eclipse (no eating during obscuration)
• Japa — the eclipse-period is said to give 100x or 1000x the effect of mantra-recitation. Especially Mahā-Mṛtyuñjaya, Gāyatrī, Mahā-Mantra.
• No new beginnings — major decisions, contracts, travels, weddings deferred
• Bath after — ritual cleansing once the obscuration is complete
• Dāna — charity to brāhmaṇas, the poor, animals
