This mail is applicable to all those living in USA, Canada, UK & Africa, where partly or fully visible Lunar Eclipse occurs on 18/19 October 2013.
The power of recitation of Mantras during Solar/Lunar Eclipse is proved to be more effective and give enhanced results. During eclipse, the sound vibrations get intensified. As a result, the person who recites a mantra gets manifold benefits than reciting it on a normal day.
During Solar Eclipse, the chanting of Mantras should commence from the peak time of the eclipse till its closure. Whereas during Lunar eclipse it should be from beginning till the end of eclipse.
There is no specific restriction on usage of any particular Mantra. The recitation should be in the form of Japam/parayanam/prayer. Japam is preferred by all. The sankalpa could be based on individiual's specific need like health, prosperity, seek remidy or pariharam, to get rid of any hurdles, offer prayer to pitrus etc. And accordingly recite the suitable Mantra. Mantras could be like Gayatri Mantra or Moola Mantras of the specific deity or any prayer mantras.
Take holy bath before commencement of Japa / Parayanam. Choose a proper venue, private and free from interruptions, dyaana mantapa, prayer hall or a room that has huge influence on atmosphere and relaxed mood. Maintain peace.
