Dear SrImathi Raghavan Dampathis:

Lunar Eclipse

> Please click on the following URL for information regarding a lunar

eclipse that will be taking place on September 8, 2003. As many of you may

already know, eclipses are looked upon as times when our spiritual energies

are at their highest, and so this time can be used for reflecting on the

Divine, honoring our ancestors, meditating upon a mantra or mantras into

which we have been initiated, or for chanting bhajans. Formal poojas are

generally not performed during the time that an eclipse is taking place.

Please note that the times shown here are for the North American continent

only. Those in other countries should check their local sources for exact

dates and times.
