After 149 Years, Lunar Eclipse occurring on Guru Purnima! Know its effects on all the signs. Find out the time, Sutak period and effects of Lunar Eclipse taking place during midnight on 16-17 July.

From an astrological point of view, Lunar Eclipse is an important event, and people seem to act curiously regarding its influence and effects on the world. According to astronomy, when the Earth comes in between the Sun and the Moon, it casts a shadow on the Moon, hereby creating an eclipse. On the other hand, mythology says that when Rahu and Ketu swallow the Moon, the phenomenon is said to be a Lunar Eclipse. However, an interesting story related to Samudra Manthan or Churning of the Ocean also exists in the books. Lunar Eclipse, like Solar Eclipse, occurs every year and its numbers vary accordingly. Talking about the year 2019, there were two occurrences of the Lunar Eclipse visible, in which the first Full Lunar Eclipse occurred on 21 January, while the second Partial Lunar Eclipse will take place during midnight on 16-17 July. As the first occurrence on 21 January wasn’t visible to Indians, hence, this event holds high importance, as it will be visible in India, and the period of Sutak will be effective.

Before, this yog was created around 149 years ago, i.e. during the year 1870 on 12 July. In the year 1870, Lunar Eclipse occurred on the day of Guru Purnima, and Ketu, along with the Moon, was posited in the Sagittarius sign. Whereas, Sun, along with Rahu, was posited in the Gemini sign. In the year 2019, planetary positions seem to be identical. Let us read about the do's and don’ts to be kept in mind during the Sutak Kaal.

Experts say that negative energies become prevalent and strong within the environment during the course of an eclipse, whose impact can be seen on mankind. Thus, several remedies and suggestions are offered in religious scriptures to get rid of or pacify the malefic effects of an eclipse. Below are some mentioned:

• Before the eclipse begins, put Tulsi leaves in milk-curd and prepared food. It is believed that by doing so, the effects of the eclipse on these food items end.
• Consume food before the eclipse, and fast during the period.
• Avoid touching the Tusli and Shami plant and idols of goddesses and gods.
• Pregnant women mustn't use any sharp object: such as a knife, scissors, needles etc.

Things To Do After Eclipse Ends

• Also, purify the Tulsi and Shami plant with Gangajal.
• Organize a hawan and donate to the poor.

All zodiac signs get affected by the occurrence of an eclipse, but it is said that a pregnant woman and her unborn child undergoes its effects for about 108 days. Therefore, women who are pregnant must remain cautious in this duration. It is believed that the unborn child of a pregnant woman can suffer mentally or physically in case she sees the eclipse with her naked eyes. However, modern science disregards such facts.

Importance Of Guru Purnima 

A teacher of Guru is given the supreme importance in each and every religion. The same is also considered true for Hinduism, which is why the mentor or Guru is offered special prayers on this day and it has great eminence too. As per the religious traditions and legends, the creator of Mahabharata, the great sage Ved Vyas was born on this particular day. Thus, the festival is also known as Vyas Puja in many parts of the country. There exists a tradition of revering Sage Vyas on this day and acknowledging its significance, people worship their Guru, Ishta Devata and their respective adored Gods during this festival.

As per the Hindu Panchang, in order to worship one’s Guru or Ishta Deva and Shree Vyas ji, it is necessary for the Purnima Tithi to keep occurring until the three Muhurats after sunrise. Other than this, if the Purnima Tithi has less than three Muhurats, then Guru Poornima celebrations should be observed a day before. 

Rites and Rituals to Follow During Guru Poornima 

It is extremely important to conduct the Guru Poornima Puja according to an auspicious Muhurat. In the same vein, it is also mandatory to observe the pertinent rites and rituals so as to gain optimum blessings after its successful conduction. Let us move further to have a look at the liturgies which should be followed to appease the Lord or Guru. 

• On the day of Guru Purnima, one should wake up early and take a bath. 
• Wear new or clean clothes after taking a shower and pay a visit to your Guru. If it is not possible, then place the idol or picture of your Ishta Deva on a clean place. 
• After this, place your Guru or his picture on a furnished podium and offer a floral garland to him along with fruits and other items. 
• Later on, present him with donations according to your beliefs and seek blessings from him while worshipping him with a devoted heart and mind. 
• On this day, it is also necessary to seek the blessings of those senior folks who grant you the valuable lessons of life. Your parents, siblings, friends or any special person can be a part of the list, which describes the people worthy of taking blessings from. 
• Lastly, you should specifically ask for the Guru Mantra from your Guru. At the same time, reverence should also be paid to the Ishta Deva, while giving him the status of a Guru.

Mythological Significance Of Guru Purnima 

According to the sacred mythological texts of Hinduism, Guru is given a far more elevated status than the Holy Trinity i.e. Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. This is so because it is only the Guru who adorns the responsibility of bringing the light of knowledge to his disciple’s life and navigates him/her to set foot on the right path of life. In ancient times, students residing in Gurukul would pray to their teacher Guru with complete devotion. This reverence shown by the pupils becomes the teacher’s Guru Dakshina (remuneration).

The custom of performing circumambulation around the Govardhan Parvat also has quite a relevance during this festival. Apart from this, devotees also follow the ritual of taking baths in the holy rivers on the day of Guru Poornima. Joyous celebrations which include many rites and rituals are also hosted by the temples. Fairs and eateries also see in many places. Teachers or mentors are honored in vivid manners by their students in schools and other educational institutions.

Overall, it can be said that this tradition which celebrates the involvement of a Guru and his disciple has been prevalent in the Indian culture and Hinduism for quite a long period of time. This festival is marked to celebrate or to express this respect of the disciple towards the Guru.

We wish you a prosperous Guru Purnima! May you keep attaining the blessings of your Guru to lead a happy and flourishing life.

It has been mentioned in Padma Purana that, the person who wishes for liberation must observe the fast of Devshayani and Devutthana Ekadashi.

Chaturmas

Lord Vishnu goes to bed from Ashadh Shukla Paksha Ekadashi and wakes up directly on the Kartik Shukla Paksha Ekadashi. Hence, the four month’s sleeping period of Lord Vishnu is called Chaturmas. According to Hinduism, when Lord Narayan sleeps in this period, people should not perform any auspicious task such as marriage, Griha pravesh, and Mundan rituals etc.

If someone performs an auspicious task during this period, then they don’t receive the blessings of Lord Vishnu in those tasks. It has also been observed that due to the arrival of monsoon and presence of clouds in these months, the radiance of the sun and moon also diminishes, due to which the person cannot obtain their blessings in that work. 

Devshayani Ekadashi or Ashadhi Ekadashi Vrat Muhurat & its Importance

According to Brahma Vaivarta Purana, this Ekadashi has special significance. It is believed that while observing this fast, a person can not only fulfil all of his desires but can also eradicate his/her sins. Due to the effect of this fast, one can achieve salvation. Therefore, the tradition of worshipping Lord Vishnu has great importance on this day. 

Devshayani Ekadashi Vrat Vidhi

As there is an auspicious time or Muhurat for Devshayani Ekadashi fast, in the same way, it is also recommended to follow a Puja Vidhi to get auspicious results from this fast. The Vrat Vidhi to observe this fast is given below: -

• Those who fast on this day should wake up early in the morning and wear clean clothes after taking a fresh bath.
• Taking a bath in holy rivers has a great significance on this day.
• If this is not possible, then you can start with the rituals after purifying the house with Gangaajal and then purifying yourself.
• After this, place an idol of Lord Vishnu in the temple and worship it with great devotion.
• After the Puja, listen to the whole story of the fast and after that perform the aarti and distribute the prasad.

Things to Remember during Chaturmas 

In this period of Chaturmas, which lasts for four months in the Hindu religion, some tasks are strictly prohibited. So, let's read the Do’s and Don’ts which should be strictly adhered to during the time of Devshayani Ekadashi:

• If you want a good voice and melodious tone, then avoid eating jaggery in this period.
• Do not use oil in any way to achieve longevity and parenthood.
• Regular intake of milk is considered beneficial for early growth in offsprings
• Avoid eating honey, radish, pointed gourd (paraval), and eggplant (brinjal) in vegetables.
• Try to sleep on the floor and avoid using the bed.
• Avoid all kinds of snacks and spicy foods.

Hindu Mythology - Why Does Lord Vishnu Sleep for Four Months?

According to the Vamana Purana, during the mythological period, Bali, the King of Asuras, had taken control of all the three Lokas with his force and strength. In such a situation, Indra Dev was nervous after witnessing the arrogance of King Bali. Hearing the prayers of all the Deities, Lord Vishnu took the Vamana Avatar and went to king Bali’s palace for begging. Firstly, Lord Vishnu (as Vaman) asked for three paces of land. King Bali agreed to his wish and Vamana covered the Earth in one step and covered the sky in the second step. Now, there was nothing left to measure the third pace of land, so, Raja Bali asked him to put the third step on his head and this way, gods got rid of Raja Bali. 

At the same time, Lord Vishnu was very pleased with this charity of King Bali and he offered him to ask for a boon because of his sacrifice and Raja Bali in turn asked for Vishnu ji’s permanent survival in patala. God Vamana gifted him the boon and in this way, he became a resident of the Patala. In such a situation, after witnessing Lord Vishnu's fate, the Gods of heaven and Goddess Laksmi became very worried. 

Goddess Lakshmi reached to King Bali, disguised as a poor woman to bring her husband, Lord Vishnu back to heaven. After which she made King Bali her brother and tied him Rakhi. Thus, he took the pledge of bringing the Lord Vishnu back from the Patala. In this way, Lord Vishnu gave a boon to Raja Bali, that he would reside in the patala loka from the period of Ashadh Shukla Paksha Ekadashi to Kartik Shukla Paksha. This period of his stay in Patala Loka is considered as a Yoga-Nidra, due to which auspicious tasks were not supposed to be commemorated for four months.
