Mantra Chanting During Eclipse: Today, on 17 February 2026, the first solar eclipse of the year is going to occur. It is said in the scriptures that during an eclipse, when the sunlight decreases, chanting mantras acts like a protective shield for our mind and body. The prayers and chanting of mantras done at this special time directly affect our subconscious mind, due to which the chances of attaining mental clarity and peace greatly increase.
Mantras should always be chosen on the basis of one’s needs and beliefs so that with their influence, positivity can be brought about properly in your life. This article will tell you in detail about those special mantras which you can chant during this eclipse period.
Get health and shine with special mantras of Sun God
This is a solar eclipse, hence chanting the mantras of Lord Surya at this time is considered most effective and fruitful. Sun is considered to be the factor of health, self-confidence and success, hence mentally remembering its mantras during eclipse removes the negativity within the person. You can chant ‘Om Ghrini Suryay Namah’ or Surya Gayatri Mantra ‘Om Adityaya Vidmahe Diwakaraya Dhimahi Tanno Surya Prachodayat’. These mantras not only help in improving your health, but also increase the chances of opening new avenues of progress in your workplace. Keep in mind that at the time of eclipse, it is better to chant mantras mentally instead of using rosary, because touching idols or rosary is considered prohibited during this time.
Powerful Mantra for Mental Peace and Protection
If you want to avoid restlessness during eclipse and want to keep your mind stable, then chanting Gayatri Mantra is the best option for you. ‘Om Bhurbhuvah Swah Tatsaviturvarenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat’ is a universal mantra that purifies the intellect and instills positive thoughts. Apart from this, for those who are troubled by any chronic disease or fear, chanting Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is no less than a boon. This mantra creates a protective circle around the mother and child as well as all the family members. Chanting these mantras in a calm manner reduces your mental stress and provides strength to fight the obstacles in life.
Necessary rules and precautions for the success of Sadhana
To get the full power of mantra chanting, it is very important to follow some simple rules. From the beginning of the eclipse period till its end, try to sit at one place and chant with concentration. During this time, do not let any kind of hatred or anger come into your mind, because only the sadhana done with pure feelings is complete. After the eclipse ends, sprinkle Ganga water in the entire house and take bath yourself and wear clean clothes. After this, donating jaggery, wheat or copper items as per one’s power is considered especially fruitful.
