Lunar eclipse on October 17th 2005

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotee :

The local news paper will be your best bet since I do not know where

you live . Please also refer to the http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data

for computation of the duration of the eclipse from the Eclipse

calculator provided for your location.

 

One should stop eating once the GrahaNam starts . Cover

the foods ( in India with darbham ) and eat after the grahaNam is over .

 

V.S

 

P.S : I request others to comment as appropriate with additional information

Partial solar eclipse in bangalore is from 4.28 pm to 6.48 pm but sun sets

by 6.05 pm. Tarpana must be done between 4.30 pm and 5.30 pm approx.

 

As per our information, in India we have grastasta solar eclipse that is

the sun sets before before release and so we cannot have a glimpse of a

eclipse-free sun before setting. As we have to stop eating before atleast

six to seven hours before eclipse Almanac says no food in the morning. And

as we cannot see the clear Sun free of eclipse before setting we are

prohibited eating even in the night today, 3rd Monday. Only after seeing

clear Sun Tuesday morning we can have food. This restriction is for able

people. As for infirm and weak, they allow lite foods and liquids as per

sastras. Adherence is left to the will of the devotees.

I have read that Tarpana is required in case of Rahu grastha grahanam

and not on Kethu grastha grahanam.

 

Even in the sankalpam for grahana tarpanam, the word used is '

Suryoparaha punya kalam 'and Chandroparaha punya kalam'. Uparaha

denotes' with Rahu'.

Dear Soundararajan Swami,

The sanskrit word is actually 'uparAga'(not 'uparAha') meaning

eclipse solar or lunar as the case may be. Rahu and Ketu are two orbiting

nodes in opposition. When Sun is in ketu and moon is in Rahu, or vice

versa then lunar eclipse is possible. If moon is in Rahu then it is

called rahugrasta somoparAga (punyakale). If moon was in ketu and Sun in

Rahu, and if lunar eclipse occurs, then we call it ketugrasta somoparaga

(punyakale). Tarpana has to be done in both cases.

Similarly, if both moon and Sun are in ketu, solar eclipse can occur. If

it occurs then we call it ketugrasta suryoparaga (punyakale). If both sun

and moon are in Rahu node and eclipse occurs, then we call it Rahugrasta

suryoparaga (punyakale). Tarpana is done in both cases.

 

grastAsta and grastodaya happens when sun or moon sets or rises in the

eclipsed state. In the former case we are purified only after seeing the

heavenly body in the pure state on the next day.

I hope that clarifies. the point.

At the instant of greatest eclipse (12:03 UT), the Moon will stand near

the zenith for observers in the central Pacific. At that time, the umbral

eclipse magnitude will be only 0.068. North Americans will all see the

start of the event, but the Moon sets by mid-eclipse for observers east of

the Mississippi River and Great Lakes. Further west, the entire event is

visible from the Pacific coast provinces and states as well as eastern

Asia and Australia.

 

d h m

Moon enters penumbra October 17 9 51.4

Moon enters umbra 17 11 34.0 UT 0634 EST 1704 IST

Middle of eclipse 17 12 03.3 UT 0703 EST 1733 IST

Moon leaves umbra 17 12 32.5 UT 0733 EST 1803 IST

Moon leaves penumbra 17 14 15.1

 

In India as per above schedule, lunar eclipse starts at 1704 IST and ends

at 1803 IST.

In Chennai, the moon rise is at 1744 IST. Hence it is already eclipsed. So

there is 19 minutes of eclipse seeable in Chennai. So Chennai residents

have to do filial rites in 19 minutes.

 

In Bangalore, moon rise is at 1755 IST. So there is only 8 minutes of

eclipse duration visible. Since this interval is insufficient, Bangalore

residents are exempted from doing Tarpana.

 

In Mysore moonrise is at 1759 IST and so just four minutes of eclipse is

visible. So Mysore residents also spared from Tarpana.

I presume that I have given the right times of EST in NEWYORK. I think

there will be grastAsta by 0703 EST by which time you have to finish

Tarpana if any. US Westcoast and East Asia residents may see the entire

eclipse.

 

If any error is there anybody please correct me.

I used wrong spelling as 'Suryoparaha' and 'Chandroparaha' instead of

'Suryoparaga' and 'Chandroparaga' which means Suryan with Ragu and

Chandran with Ragu respectively.

 

My doubt remains as expressed below.
