Food for Thought

Maximum spiritual benefits can be derived during an eclipse

1. The chanting* done during the period of an eclipse is 1,000 times more beneficial than on any ordinary day.

2. The tools utilized for chanting, like a mala (rosary, tasbih, etc.), as well as other spiritual materials like an amulet (taveez), Holy ash (vibhuti), etc., acquire spiritual powers.

Read details about the spiritual effect of an eclipse in this Issue’s Clarification of Doubts section.

*If one is not currently doing any spiritual practice, one can begin with the simple, but powerful spiritual practice of chanting or constantly remembering God's Name according to one's religion.

Seekers in the initial stages of spiritual practice (less than one year) can repeat The Name of the Lord as per their religion (refer to Issue 3 Clarification of Doubts section for details).
Those seekers who have been doing regular spiritual practice for over a year or so can determine the appropriate chant for them from the experiment given in Issue 124, Message to Seekers section.
