LUNAR ECLPIPSE
Right now , when I am writing this (6.15 PM on 4-4-2015), Lunar eclipse has begun
and all temples are closed. I have not seen this in the North.
In earlier days, Namboodiris remain indoors, without
touching bed etc. Otherwise, these too
must be dipped in the pond, while taking bath after the eclipse. No food or
water will be given during the eclipse
If the eclipse
happens on one’s birth star, atonement has to be done by doing rituals.
Early ma was terrified by the sight of the moon or sun being
devoured by a shadow . In total solar eclipse, the earth becomes dark. Even the
birds and animals get frightened. This may be the reason about superstitions
around the eclipse.
