Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Namaste to all.Thank you to Sivakumar for bringing up the interesting question on sadhana during eclipse.I checked with Swamiji on if the power of mantras get magnified during an eclipse and He says that "Yes, it is even more powerful" I hope all of us will take advantage of the lunar eclipse this evening and do lots of mantra chanting and sadhanaJai MaaNanda-----------Here is a clip on the times of the eclipse tonight from http://news./s/space/20080220/sc_space/totallunareclipsetonight The moon will enter Earth's umbral shadow (the full shadow) at 8:43 p.m. ET (that's 7:43 p.m. Central, 6:43 p.m. Mountain and 5:43 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, Feb. 20. It will appear as though an ever-larger bite is being taken out of the moon. Some 78 minutes later, the moon will slip into full eclipse. About 51 minutes later, a bright scallop will appear as the moon starts emerging. It will be completely out of the umbral shadow at 9:09 p.m. Pacific time, which is 12:09 a.m. ET on Thursday morning. For Europe and Africa, the eclipse is a predawn Thursday event, with the moon starting entry to the umbral shadow at 1:43 Greenwich (or Universal) Time.---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks so much for the information on when to look for the eclipse from Europe and Africa. I currently live in Kuwait and never know when things like eclipses will be viewable from my neck of the woods. Thanks to your email I was able to figure it out.
