Mundane events like eclipses should have no effect on transcendental
preaching programs. Srila Prabhupada never advised us to stop our preaching
activities for the sake of some inauspicious material event. In fact,
preaching is the best way to counteract any possible inauspicious effects.
To stop preaching activities for the sake of an eclipse is a mundane
calculation.
