[@colepeltier8472]

I looked this video up because I meditated during this last lunar eclipse without realizing it and I entered a flow state, I was really zenned out. I was feeling the energy moving up and around in my head/brain, it felt very physical, normally I would have had to smoke weed before meditating to achieve this affect but I was doing it with a basic sober meditation. Can someone explain to me why I was feeling so much energy? And are there times of day or night that may or may not boost my meditative capabilities in a similar way? Are there other free, sober ways to boost my meditating like the way I'm pretty sure the Lunar Eclipse did?

[@sonugurung1442]

Cole Peltier I would rather suggest you to stop smoking weed, do happiness course , kriya, sahaj n I bet u will definitely find your ultimate goal and inner peace. I am telling you with my experience,rest is up to you. Jay Gurudev.

[@purnesh.official]

Eclipse creates an atmosphere that is very good for meditation, but at other times sunrise and sunset are the best times for meditation. Doing some pranayamas (breathing techniques) before meditating also makes a big difference. It is better to avoid intoxicants and stimulants, as they do not give you an authentic experience nor last benefits, rather the opposite.

[@byjumk8824]

Thank you swami

Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻

[@dhaval1122]

Guru ji, eclipse is a period of tamas and where life giving luminaries: Sun and Moon are hidden- our minds and bodies are more vulnerable. Is it a good time to do Sudarshan Kriya - since it would lead to experience greater connection within us; or is it rather better to avoid it since it creates heat within our bodies and our bodies may not be able to handle it. Also is it better to do the kriya or does chanting mantra during an eclipse lead to greater benefits since it burns karma and takes us towards moksha?

[@purnesh.official]

Mantra japa and meditation are good. No need to do asanas or pranayamas

[@universeofopulence]

@@purnesh.official .....ok u need to do an updated version of this video (for solar also) & do's & don'ts and include instructions for kids as well..

[@ramsake8924]

Wt a voice man

[@narayanarora]

Swami ji, in the video you said it's good to avoid water sometime before eclipse. How many hours before eclipse should we avoid water? I know it's definitely good to avoid during eclipse. JGD!

[@martinavukic5371]

I would like to know that as well.

[@purnesh.official]

Water is absorbed quickly by the body, so some time before the eclipse starts is fine, maybe an hour or so.

[@gujjardachhora9862]

We can't actually call it scientific, as we don't yet have the proof that food has that subtle quality that enlightened people talk about. But anyone who just denies it before dis"proving" it is unscientific as well. We should have an open mind and try this stuff. Also if someone does feel fine after eating the food during an eclipse, it can be because he is not receptive enough to notice the subtle damage that's done to his body. Meditation practitioners can easily notice the difference imo.

[@purnesh.official]

[@SanjivRaj94]

Should we do mantra japa inside or outside the house?

[@wilderheartland3920]

Self to self moves according to itself. No need to avoid anything or do anything at any time. No need to have rules. Set yourself free to fall into the Delf. The Self cannot be contained by any rules. It is free. It moves according to the perfect wisdom of the orchestration. Following rules is the mind. A strategy with agenda. Release agenda identification. Live as the unknowable surprise!

[@meenakshi1991vijaytv]

Sirji, u advised very very nicely. Still, I've few doubts. Can you kly clarify that to me, pls. First Sir, Can I watch Mahabharata episodes during this time? By/way, is it advisable to sleep during that time, since having little bit health issues so to take medicines & wld have after effects of the medicines..Kly do advise Sir, without fail, please.. thanks...

[@purnesh.official]

These guidelines are too be followed when in healthy condition. For those who are unwell etc these guidelines are relaxed, as they may need to eat, sleep etc during these times, and not doing so may be difficult for them. Watching TV is not advised, reading scriptures is okay.

[@johnpaulempasis8883]

guruji i just want to clear this out... if during lunar eclipse we should be awake? or is it okay to sleep?

[@sandrab2422]

Swami Purnachaitanya not to sleep? So do we stay awake all night?

[@anu7982]

Sir ,can we chant Gayatri mantra , many are telling it's not good to chant Gayatri without inititiation from Guru during eclipse,plz tell sir 🙏❤️

Gayatri should only be chanted after proper initiation (which is the upanayana samskara)... and then also it is only chanted mentally, not out loud

[@TheLotussong]

Why can’t he speak like Indians .... Indians go to a foreign land and in 6 months they start speaking like them ... so here we have a guy who probably spends a lot of time in India so speaks like an Indian too
