Ramana Maharshi would never eat during an eclipse of the sun or moon

[Guest guest]

Bhagavan would never eat during an eclipse of the sun or moon, a custom that

still continues in the Ashram, where food may only be cooked after the

eclipse is finished. He told me that the stomach did not digest while the

eclipse was proceeding and so it was bad for the health to eat at that

time.However, he did not take the ritual bath at the beginning and end of an

eclipse as is usual with orthodox Brahmins.
