News Topical, Digital Desk : According to the Vedic calendar, Sunday 07 September i.e. today is Bhadrapada Purnima. Today is a very special day from the astronomical point of view. On the auspicious occasion of Bhadrapada Purnima, the second lunar eclipse of the year (Chandra Grahan 2025) is going to take place. It will be visible in India. Sutak will also be valid for this. On the day of lunar eclipse, Sutak starts three prahars before.
Religious belief is that during a lunar eclipse, Rahu's wrath prevails on the earth. For this, auspicious work is prohibited during the eclipse. According to experts, lunar eclipse occurs due to the presence of the Sun between the Earth and the Moon. During this time, the effect of negative forces increases in the environment due to Rahu. But do you know how long tonight's lunar eclipse will last? Let's know everything about the eclipse-
The story of drinking nectar
It is contained in the Sanatan scriptures that long ago, Lord Dhanvantari appeared after the churning of the ocean with the pot of nectar. During the drinking of the nectar, the demon Swarbhanu also sat in the row of the gods, which was recognized by the Sun and Moon Gods. They gave this information to Lord Vishnu, the savior of the world.
At that time, Lord Vishnu killed Swarbhanu with the Sudarshan Chakra. After this, Swarbhanu's head and torso were thrown in two opposite directions. Due to this, the illusionary planets Rahu and Ketu consider the Sun, the factor of the soul, and the Moon, the factor of the mind, as their enemies. An eclipse occurs due to Rahu engulfing the Sun and the Moon.
When will the eclipse start?
According to Indian time, it will start at 09:58 pm. At the same time, the effect of the eclipse will be more at 11 pm. After this, the eclipse will end at 01:26 am late night. The lunar eclipse will last for 3 hours and 28 minutes. During the eclipse, definitely follow the rules prescribed by the scriptures. Also chant the Mahamrityunjaya mantra. Chanting the Mahamrityunjaya mantra ends the inauspicious effect of Rahu.
