An eclipse

December 8, 2001

Hare Krishna.

The next friday will be an anular eclipse in Costa Rica. Here exists the

believe that a pregnant woman must no see it, because the child will have

spots in the face. For the birth of Caitantya Mahaprabhu, it is known by me

that an eclipse is inauspicios, but that i understand was that Rahu actualy

try to "eat" Surya. But the eclipse will occur in Vrishchika, and the axis

Rahu-Ketu falls in Mithuna-Dhanus.

So i have two questions. The first is it is inauspicios or not an eclipse,

and to see it.

And the second is the rol of Rahu and Ketu in an eclipse, because i thougth,

that was the reason that in India the sages could know when the eclipses

will occur.

Your sisya:

Arjuna-vallabha das.

Jaya Jagannatha

Dear Arjuna Vallabha Prabhu,

It is not auspicious to see the eclipse as it is not good to see other people in

their weaker moments. Whether it is eclipse of Chaturthi, these are the

positions of Curse for the luminaries and it is inauspicious to admire them.

Similarly to admire the setting Sun will also bring downfall and death.

At this time when the world is in darkness, the EYES OF JAGANNATH alone can see. So chant His name.

Best Wishes

Sanjay Rath

OM SRI GURAVE NAMAH

=====================

Respected Gurudev

Pranams

Your reference of setting sun reminds me of a part of my life. Please allow me to narrate it.

When I was in Calcutta, every afternoon I used to go to the bank of the Ganges

for almost four years. I used to spend there for almost three hours. Sitting

on the steps of the bathing ghat, I watched the sunset. On seeing the sunset,

a feeling gradually used to invade my mind: " one day I shall be here no more ,

the river , the Siva temple on the west bank will be there, and many many years

after , perhaps these will be inexistent in manifestation."

A strong sense of detachment gradually used to invade my whole being. My mind

became quiet. In the sense of detachment and quietude, a strong and deep

feeling rose up from inside: "If for once , I could have seen the eternal face

of Sri Krishna - the One who is beyond this birth and death though involved in

every movement of life."

This was my usual feeling on seeing the setting sun. Though I loved it ,

somewhere there was also a feeling of pain in me. I did not know why. Was it

due to the feeling of confrontation with the reality of death?Is it the reason

of your writing Similarly to admire the setting Sun will also bring downfall

and death.??? You also have written

At this time when the world is in darkness, the EYES OF JAGANNATH alone can see. So chant His name.

Gurudev, unknowingly , as you have written , I used to meditate on Sri

Krishna-The Jagannath in those hours of darkness after sunset.

with regards

Your disciple

Dilip.
