[Guest guest]

Eclipse Schedule

Datta Temple and Hall of Trinity

Baton Rouge, LA

 

Jai Guru Datta:

 

This is to inform that the eclipse enters at 8:46 Central time (1:46

Universal/ Greenwich Mean Time) on November 19, 2002. Because of the

positions of the planets that may have negative effects, auspicious activitie

s are not undertaken around this time. Hence Datta Temple and Hall of Trinity

will be closed for about a day.

 

The schedule will be as follows:

November 19 (Tuesday) Morning Nitya Pujas will be conducted as

scheduled but Datta Temple will be closed around 11:00 am

for the rest of the day.

November 20 (Wed) Open at 10:00 am as scheduled

 

 

The regularly scheduled Satyanarayana Puja on Purnima will be conducted

on November 15 (Friday) at 6:00pm on the auspicious Sudha Ekadasi. Interested

devotees can send their sponsorship requests by Noon on Friday (Nov 15).

 

On November 23 (Saturday), which is Bahula Tadiya and also Arudhra

Nakshatra (which is the Nakshatra of Lord Siva), Chandrodayamaa Vratam and

Deepa Daanam will be conducted at 6:00 pm. Every body is invited to witness

and participate in this event.

 

On the day of Eclipse, we request the devotees to observe the following:

 

1) Do Not see the Moon on 19th night.

2) Chant Guru Gayatri Mantra as many times as possible during that

period to avert any negative effects of the eclipse on our stars.

 

Please forward this information other devotees who may not have

received

 

Thanks
