Many people find eclipses fascinating and can&#8217;t wait for them to happen, but ancient Hindu texts say that we shouldn&#8217;t all be so excited.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahu and Ketu represent the two places of junction between the trajectories of the Sun and Moon as they orbit the cosmic sphere. For this reason, the Lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu are often referred to as the North and South nodes. Eclipses occur when the moon is in a position where it is directly in line with the Earth&#8217;s orbit and the Sun.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The myth of <strong>&#8220;swallowing the Sun&#8221;<\/strong> originates from the notion that eclipses happen whenever the Moon and the Sun are in one of these positions. The periods of Rahu and Ketu are well-known in Hindu astrology (Jyotish Shastra). Still, the fact that Rahu and Ketu were linked to eclipses made them seem mysterious, hidden, and dark.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c3137f8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"c3137f8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dc4bade exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"dc4bade\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8d2b33 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b8d2b33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Read Also:- <a href=\"https:\/\/alokastrology.com\/how-to-manage-anger-issues-caused-due-to-mars\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">How to manage anger issues caused due to Mars?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1da59c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"a1da59c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f32c43f exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"f32c43f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c6acfc exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7c6acfc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">What transpires within Hindu temples during eclipses, and why are they closed during eclipses?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-447858a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"447858a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-af3d012 exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"af3d012\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c202d3 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c202d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temples are not only supposed to be places where God can be worshipped; rather, they are places where one can encounter the deeper subjective tranquillity of pure consciousness and a place where one can cherish the more profoundly divine side of existence via deeper contemplation. <\/span><\/p><p>It&#8217;s a place of spiritual healing where the innate geometry of the area is used to create a Yantra and channel subtle energies. This energy leads to deep subjective experiences, which lets devotees in the temple feel the divinity within themselves. As a result, shrines are able to elicit more delicate energies, which then connect with the celestial energies that come from the planetary system, stars, and other such sources. A statue that had been set up with rituals and ceremonies always gave off good energy. Still, most people go to temples to make a list of things they want rather than to find peace.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-486ee0f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"486ee0f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-73fafd4 exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"73fafd4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a08e1d1 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a08e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During an eclipse, there is a change in the aura all around the idol. Hindu texts say that when there is an eclipse, the sun, the moon, and other celestial bodies give off strangely negative energies. So, the gates of the temple where the main deity is kept closed keep these negative energies from interfering with the impacts of the spiritual forces on the devotees. <\/span><\/p><p>Tulsi leaves are put on the idols to protect them from bad energy and make sure the temple doors close when they should. Because they can take in harmful radiation, Tulsi leaves are chosen for this job. But during an eclipse, the Kalahasteeswara temple in Sri Kalahasthi is not closed. This is because this temple is the only place in India where Rahu and Ketu are honoured and prayed to. So, an eclipse has nothing to do with this temple.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ancient wise men knew how eclipses affected temples and, by extension, how they affected us. As a consequence of this, the doors to the temples are shut in order to lessen the detrimental effects that eclipses can have on the aura of the statues, the temples, and consequently the worshippers who go to the temples.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bc811c5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"bc811c5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-61371cf exad-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"61371cf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eaee1c0 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eaee1c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Read Also:- <a href=\"https:\/\/alokastrology.com\/astrology-for-business-related-issues\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Astrology for Business-Related Issues<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Grahan, which is another name for an eclipse, is a religious event for many Hindus (Hindu temples) who comply with the rituals based on the Hindu calendar.
