melvin Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Tonight we have experienced a lunar eclipse. It`s auspicious because the moon was eclipsed at the time of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu`s birth in Mayapur in the town of Nadia just after sunset on the evening of the 23rd Phalguna 1407 Sakabha, answering to the 18th of February, 1486, of the Christian Era( Taken from the Prologue by Bhaktivinoda Thakura, page xiii in the book The Golden Avatar- The Teachings of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Philippine Copyright 1981). The lunar eclipse is just 9 days ahead of Lord Chaitanya`s birthday. However, the Chinese consider this cosmic event as a bad omen. Please correct me if I`m wrong.
