Subject: [IskconSV_General] eclipse tomorrow
To: IskconSV_General@yahoogroups.com
Dear highly esteemed devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Tomorrow, there there be a solar eclipse from 5:16pm to 7:40pm in San Jose.
During this period, sastra recommends that one not eat, drink or perform puja as one is in a contaminated state because of the eclipse.
Therefore, tomorrow at ISV, all pujas, cooking and offering of bhoga will be completed before 5:16pm, and from that time, up until 7:40pm, we will observe fasting and simply hear and chant.
After 7:40pm we will serve prasadam and puja will resume at that time, after the pujaris have purified themselves.
Parents should make sure that their children not look at the eclipse as doing so can easily damage one's eyes. (Actually, this applies to everyone, not just children.)
Tomorrow, everyone can remember Krsna's pastimes of meeting the residents of Vrndavana at the holy place of Kuruksetra after they all had gone there during a solar eclipse.
Please let me know if you have any questions: Vaisesika.dasa@gmail.com
With gratitude,
Your servant,
Vaisesika Dasa
