- Swami Purnachaitanya talks about the customs followed and prescribed by the ancient Indian scriptures on what is to be done, and what is to be avoided, during a Solar or Lunar Eclipse. Many practical guidelines are given, such as avoiding meals during the eclipse because the digestion is not functional optimally, as well as guidelines like the fact that any spiritual practice like mantra chanting, japa and meditation is considered much more powerful and effective during an eclipse. For all details, watch the video till the end!
Swami Purnachaitanya is a disciple of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and is originally from The Netherlands. He is an expert on Yoga, Meditation, Mantras, Ayurveda and Vedic Wisdom. He is a Senior Faculty and Director of Programs of The Art of Living.

I looked this video up because I meditated during this last lunar eclipse without realizing it and I entered a flow state, I was really zenned out. I was feeling the energy moving up and around in my head/brain, it felt very physical, normally I would have had to smoke weed before meditating to achieve this affect but I was doing it with a basic sober meditation. Can someone explain to me why I was feeling so much energy? And are there times of day or night that may or may not boost my meditative capabilities in a similar way? Are there other free, sober ways to boost my meditating like the way I'm pretty sure the Lunar Eclipse did?
Cole Peltier I would rather suggest you to stop smoking weed, do happiness course , kriya, sahaj n I bet u will definitely find your ultimate goal and inner peace. I am telling you with my experience,rest is up to you. Jay Gurudev.
Eclipse creates an atmosphere that is very good for meditation, but at other times sunrise and sunset are the best times for meditation. Doing some pranayamas (breathing techniques) before meditating also makes a big difference. It is better to avoid intoxicants and stimulants, as they do not give you an authentic experience nor last benefits, rather the opposite.
Thank you. Please will you do for solar eclipse?
Hi Swami Ji what if the eclipse happens 12:30am-3:00am where I am? Do I have to wake up in the middle of the night for it? I need to be up at 6am tomorrow
Thanks my dear, it's very good information, I, ve a questions, restrictions are only for both 27-28th night time(23.45-3 45) or for whole the day time too? Please....😃
Robina Guenkel Main things are only during the actual eclipse (23.45-03.45), and food part is also the hours before that
Guru ji, eclipse is a period of tamas and where life giving luminaries: Sun and Moon are hidden- our minds and bodies are more vulnerable. Is it a good time to do Sudarshan Kriya - since it would lead to experience greater connection within us; or is it rather better to avoid it since it creates heat within our bodies and our bodies may not be able to handle it. Also is it better to do the kriya or does chanting mantra during an eclipse lead to greater benefits since it burns karma and takes us towards moksha?
Mantra japa and meditation are good. No need to do asanas or pranayamas
@@SwamiPurnachaitanya .....ok u need to do an updated version of this video (for solar also) & do's & don'ts and include instructions for kids as well..
Should we do mantra japa inside or outside the house?
Does this apply to my pet Dog as well? I fed him at his usual time which was right before the eclipse.... 🙏🏼🙏🏼💚
Usually animals are quite in sync with nature, and know what to do and avoid.
As I'm in Toronto so no lunar eclipse we can see here. So do we need to follow these things?pls guide.
Pragya Sharma If it is not visible there, no need 😊
🙏🙏🌷
Sirji, u advised very very nicely. Still, I've few doubts. Can you kly clarify that to me, pls. First Sir, Can I watch Mahabharata episodes during this time? By/way, is it advisable to sleep during that time, since having little bit health issues so to take medicines & wld have after effects of the medicines..Kly do advise Sir, without fail, please.. thanks...
These guidelines are too be followed when in healthy condition. For those who are unwell etc these guidelines are relaxed, as they may need to eat, sleep etc during these times, and not doing so may be difficult for them. Watching TV is not advised, reading scriptures is okay.
@@SwamiPurnachaitanya Thank youji🙏
Guruji can I chant Hare Krishna Maha mantra in the coming lunar eclipse on 27-28(July). Please reply quickly.
Vishal Nayak Yes no problem 😊
Swami Purnachaitanya Dhanyawaad guruji 🙏
🙏
Also this is applicable for only people who witness the eclipse only or around the world ?
Menna Hesham To all where it is (to some extent) visible 😊
What about Asana Practice during this time or just before it ?
Menna Hesham Chanting and meditation is better... physical exercises are not so much advised
Sir, please tell if women should tie hair or not during lunar eclipse? Please guide
What about giving milk to infants ,who are few months old
Sajith Jgd That is not a problem, dont worry 😊
Swami ji, in the video you said it's good to avoid water sometime before eclipse. How many hours before eclipse should we avoid water?
I know it's definitely good to avoid during eclipse. JGD!
I would like to know that as well.
Water is absorbed quickly by the body, so some time before the eclipse starts is fine, maybe an hour or so.
😭...I'm watching this video after sleeping 2/3 hours today(as today is lunar eclipse).....
And during the sleep I wasn't able to sleep peacefully....It wasn't normal....I was so Scared all the time......And 😭I got not only one...I got so many nightmares.......I never got these many nightmares in my whole Life....
I did drink too much water before sleep as well....(as i didn't know that i shouldn't drink)....
I should have watch this video yesterday of Before sleep.....
😭I got so many Injuries in the nightmares 😭
swami are you still in gangtok
laden sherpa u know
We can't actually call it scientific, as we don't yet have the proof that food has that subtle quality that enlightened people talk about. But anyone who just denies it before dis"proving" it is unscientific as well. We should have an open mind and try this stuff.
Also if someone does feel fine after eating the food during an eclipse, it can be because he is not receptive enough to notice the subtle damage that's done to his body. Meditation practitioners can easily notice the difference imo.

Wt a voice man
I am so hungry & don't know if I can do this!?
Is he indian? I think I hear a Spanish accent underneath!
He is not Indian I hv met him but I forgot which country he belongs
He is Dutch, he is an Art of living Swamiji, he is expert in all Mantras
So, we do fasting the entire 24 hours during the full moon?
You took care of all the points, thanks a lot🪷
Self to self moves according to itself. No need to avoid anything or do anything at any time. No need to have rules. Set yourself free to fall into the Delf. The Self cannot be contained by any rules. It is free. It moves according to the perfect wisdom of the orchestration. Following rules is the mind. A strategy with agenda. Release agenda identification. Live as the unknowable surprise!
Sir ,can we chant Gayatri mantra , many are telling it's not good to chant Gayatri without inititiation from Guru during eclipse,plz tell sir 🙏❤️
Gayatri should only be chanted after proper initiation (which is the upanayana samskara)... and then also it is only chanted mentally, not out loud
@@SwamiPurnachaitanya Thank you so much sir 🙏🙏😊
🕉️🕉️🕉️🙏
guruji i just want to clear this out... if during lunar eclipse we should be awake? or is it okay to sleep?
Johnpaul empasis It is best not to sleep, but this may not be practical for most people...
Swami Purnachaitanya not to sleep? So do we stay awake all night?
@@sandrab2422 For the duration of the eclipse.
@@SwamiPurnachaitanya Thank you
Swamiji,what about sleep,do we have to keep awake during the coming lunar eclipse
Yes it is better.
2020 , 21 june
Can we study
spiritual practices are better.
Swamiji can u tell the exact timings of the eclipse
micro test In India it is 23.54 till 03.49 next day...
Thanks jdg
Very good message by Swamiji
Is studying during eclips is safe for a student?????
It is not 'unsafe', but the time is better for spiritual practices.
What are the do's and dont's for pregnant woman
Shikha Bharalawala During eclipse, especially lunar, it is good to stay inside... rest is same, chanting and meditation is best during the time of eclipse
What about breastfeeding mothers ??
Reshma R No problem, nothing to worry about 😊
Why he speaks like indian? :)))
2100093
I was wondering the same thing.
Why can’t he speak like Indians .... Indians go to a foreign land and in 6 months they start speaking like them ... so here we have a guy who probably spends a lot of time in India so speaks like an Indian too
phony accent?
😂😂
Fake accent. No thanks
🙏🙏🙏
