i used to wonder when i was young as to Christians and Muslims do not follow all these. grahana kaala restrictions No harm seizes them. The argument continues. I am ignorant.
In childhood only one thing allowed during the eclipse was to study .This time and on Vijayadasami we were forced to study. There is a belief that any Vidya which is pursued during Grahana Punya Kalam multiplies.
Was not allowed to eat, drink anything. All the cooked items/oils etc items had Dharba on it.
Pooja rooms were kept closed.
We all believed that Rahu Ketu swallowed Surya/ Chandra.
We still call out Grahana Yoga in horoscopes where the luminaries are in close conjunction with Rahu or Ketu.
Interesting beliefs..and I hardly ever questioned our elders. Our children are not the same, grossly different and we are forced to deviate from ethics, values and disciplines with which we were brought up. heavy compromises unwillingly . A sort of trisanklok.
