Know which inauspicious planets would have eclipsed eclipse?
According to religious beliefs, two inauspicious planets Rahu and Ketu lead to lunar and solar eclipse. Explain that during the lunar eclipse, Ketu affects the lunar and it increases the effect of negative forces. Then these demonic powers do not end quickly. It is very important to take a bath after eclipse in the scriptures and it also has many benefits. However, bathing in the holy river, pond or lake does not cause any fault.
Why is it necessary to take a bath after the eclipse?
According to Jyotishacharya, everyone must bathe after any eclipse. It is also mentioned in the Puranas. It is said that on the birth of a child, if the sacrifice, sun and lunar solstice are also at night, then it should be purified. Due to this, the body remains impure. One should always avoid doing auspicious work without bathing or joining it.
In the eclipse, the body becomes impure and it is necessary to clean it again for the deity ancestral work. Let me tell you that whenever there is an eclipse, many types of negative powers come close during that time. Which can harm you. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to bathe in a holy river or pond before the eclipse and after the eclipse.
