Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Namaste!! There are two eclipses this month- one tomorrow and another one on the 27th. Eclipses are very auspicious times(but bad for most other things) for japa and sadhana and confer benefits many times than other times. Timings can be obtained from http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/OH2004.html -yogaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Speaking of Eclipses... I plan to take another step on basic practices by fasting on the New Moons. I went on "less strict" forms of fastings not so long ago to get my body used to it, so it should not hurt me when I take this step. Again, I will do best to use common sense and if my body REALLY needs a boost of energy, then I will grab a small bite of something; I know fastings are not one of those things to jump into if you are not used to them. Tell me what you guys think. Any advices on practices and such? Again, I have not officially dedicated myself to any specific tradition and I still have a GREAT deal to learn, but I thought that experimenting with the practices and trends in a lot of Hinduism, as well as understanding the rationale and spiritual dynamics behind them, would not hurt. I believe that it will enhance the learning process; for instance, you can read all the books you want and claim to know how to perform certain rituals, but how can you truly feel and understand the spirit of the practices without applying them yourself? Also on the "tenth day", I reserved all my reading time for a translation of the Ramayana Epic that I found - I figured that it would be fitting for what the day honors *smiles*.
