Know what special precautions to take Two eclipses are occurring simultaneously during the month of Sawan; how will this impact the worship of Mahadev and the observance of fasts? Find out what special precautions to take.

In Hindu religion, Chaturmas and especially the holy month of Saavan is considered very important from spiritual and religious point of view. In this holy month dedicated to Devadhidev Mahadev Lord Shiva, a huge crowd of Shiva devotees throng the Shiva temples and worship Lord Bholenath by observing a fast on Sawan Monday. Meanwhile, according to astrological calculations, this time in the month of Saavan, an astronomical event of two major eclipses occurring simultaneously is coming to light. Due to this rare coincidence, a question is arising in the minds of devotees across the country whether these eclipses will affect the fasts, worship and rituals of Sawan or not. Let us know from astrological and religious perspective what precautions devotees should take in this situation.

When and how will these two eclipses occur in the month of Sawan?

According to the astronomical and astrological calendar, this rare combination of two eclipses is taking place during the month of Saavan this year. Generally eclipses occur on Sun or Moon and their Sutak period is also valid as per religious rules. Whenever such astronomical changes occur around any holy month or major festival, their impact is considered astrologically significant. However, it is very important to check whether these eclipses are visible in India or not, because in the country or region where the eclipse is visible, its religious rules and Sutak period are effective.

Will there be any impact on the fasting of Sawan and the worship of Mahadev?

The biggest doubt in the minds of devotees is whether the worship of Lord Shiva and the fast of Sawan Monday will be affected during or on that day of the eclipse. According to experts in astrology, the worship of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati is beyond time, space and astronomical barriers. If the Sutak period is in effect, then the doors of the temples are definitely closed for some time, but there is no restriction on mental chanting, mantra chanting and Shiva devotion. Devotees observing the fast should follow the rules as per their resolution, because with true devotion and worship of God, all kinds of negative effects automatically get eliminated.

What precautions should devotees take during the eclipse period?

According to religious and astrological traditions, whenever an eclipse occurs, it is considered very important to take special care of certain things. Cooking and eating food is avoided during the Sutak period of the eclipse, although this rule applies to the elderly, sick and children according to their condition. After the eclipse ends, the entire house should be purified and one should take bath and doing charity is considered auspicious. Apart from this, in this holy month of Sawan, one should stay away from negative thoughts and concentrate completely on Bholenath with positivity.
