Why we should not look at the eclipses?
or – Who is Who in Celestial Drama?
Events such as eclipses are similar to apocalyptic events described by John in the Book of Revelation, where it is said something like: ‘Close the doors, and windows, stay outside and don’t look what is going on outside‘ (hinting at destruction that is taking place).
The eclipse is actually a shadow that spreads over luminaries Sun and Moon at least 4 times a year. This shadow is actually a ‘shadowy formation’ and it is a conscious entity malefic demonic in nature. It’s name is Rahu and is usually depicted as dragon or snake like creature. Rahu and his counterpart Ketu (similar in nature) set the stage of world events for the future. What you are seeing and witnessing during eclipse is exactly that: the nice bright pale yellow or whitish moon can became blood red like, due to smoke and shadow of that shadowy creature.
Why it is not advised to watch any eclipse event? Because one wouldn’t want to get any of that negative energy emanating from the evil entity. It will still affect the world, as we will see in the next weeks, and months, but at least, for our own sake, we should not get ourselves exposed directly to that energy.
The modern Western science still have no clue about the true cause of eclipses but considers it as a shadow of a moon, or earth, depending on the angle or a degree they travel across their cosmic pathway.
It is a known fact from both Bible and other religious scriptures (including Vedas) that there is a perpetual ‘war in heavens’ – that is – a perpetual fight between good and evil (ie. God and angels vs. Satan and demons). Generally, western world including Christians reject astrology considering it superstitious and non-scientific. But actually everything is described to a fine detail and contained in Vedic Astrology (not Western Astrology) in a very systematic and scientific way. Eclipses are just a tiny part of this great science.
To make it more obvious for understanding: this shadowy entity (the cause of eclipse) due to its’ bad nature inspires all kinds of sins and insanity in people (like a demon, devil, satan). Whenever eclipse time approaches, we hear more or extremely bad news of enhanced natural catastrophes, wars, epidemic diseases like Covid (which started right after the eclipses in December 2019), crimes of all sorts, and the latest examples: mass shooting in Buffalo and in church in California. That is the effect of shadow spreading over us and hiding the light of luminaries Sun and Moon. On top of that, other malefic planets and stars (also entities) make their own influence, and such combination makes us see what we see in the world and in people’s lives… However, the evil influence of stars and planets are not to be blamed since every human being has a free will to choose between good and evil. There are good planets and stars as well that are doing their job too, otherwise, the universe wouldn’t exist by now.
The mistake in the Western approach is to consider planets and celestial bodies to be a dead unconscious matter. The truth is they are all conscious entities emanating their specific energy and influencing the earth and all people therein. And there is a Supreme controller, God who is overseeing each and every movement in the cosmic order in order to keep that perfect order. The planets have no independence in that regard. The Vedic astrology has the most detailed scientific explanation of each and every one of those entities (both good and bad), precise knowledge of time, movements, effects, in incredible details. All these combined constitute a very serious science of Vedic Astrology, and it is not mythology or superstition.
I was studying Bible for about 15 years. The Book of Revelation was the most interesting to me, due to its metaphorical language, to which there are thousands of interpretations done by different authors. If one allows oneself to be a little open-minded, one can connect the dots quite easily. So the 7 seals, the 4 horsemen, 7 bowls of God’s wrath, etc. are conscious entities that are appointed to execute God’s order to punish the wicked world. Who are they? Actually the planets (or rather the planet’s lords, conscious entities). The drama of existence is much broader that what our eyes can see on Earth. God is Lord of all beings, not just earthlings.
“Not a blade of grass moves without the will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
[Bhagavad gita, 7.21, purport]
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
“Who is this who obscures My counsel by words without knowledge?
Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
Who fixed its measurements? Surely you know!
Or who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its foundations set,
or who laid its cornerstone,
while the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Who enclosed the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
when I made the clouds its garment
and thick darkness its blanket,
when I fixed its boundaries
and set in place its bars and doors,
and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther;
here your proud waves must stop’?
Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades*
or loosen the belt of Orion**?
Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons
or lead out the Bear*** and her cubs?
Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth?”
[Bible, Job 38.1-11., 31-33]
*The Pleiades are a group of more than 800 stars located about 410 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus.
**Constellation Orion the Hunter is a southern constellation sitting below constellation Taurus and above constellation Leups. Orion spans nearly 20 degrees of the Zodiac in the Sign of Gemini, and contains 13 named fixed stars.
***Constellation Ursa Major the Great Bear is a northern constellation above constellation Leo and below constellation Ursa Minor, between constellation Draco and constellation Coma. Ursa Major spans 65 degrees of the Zodiac in the Sign of Cancer, Leo and Virgo, and contains 18 named fixed stars.
