Eclipse : Precautions for mothers to be

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

All mothers to be { ladies in their family way } have to take a few

precautions at the time of any eclipse ; be it lunar or solar.

 

[ 1 ] Take a piece of kalawa { mouli , or the red pooja thread },

long enough to go round the waist. Take this kalawa { mouli } to a

temple, place it before lord Ganesh and pray that this kalawa be

the 'raksha kavach' for the child in her womb. Come back home and

the mother to be should tie this thread round her waist. After the

eclipse is over, she should take it off and leave it at the temple

after thanking Lord Ganesh to have protected her child from all the

ill effects of the eclipse.

 

[ 2 ] Should not come out in the open at the time of the eclipse,

nor watch it.

 

Sincerely,

 

Bhooshan Priya
