Total solar eclipse - where the sun is blacked out by the moon

A view from Mississauga. On. April 08/2024

The eclipse began at approximately 2:04 p.m. with the peak of the eclipse occurring at 3:19 p.m. for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, and ending at around 4:31 p.m.

Watched it on TV. It was very cloudy and by a miracle the clouds broke just minutes before the eclipse started.

'Om Bhaanve Namaha' means 'One who brings light. ' When you recite this mantra, feel a sense of deep gratitude to the sun for giving us light and making life possible on Earth. 'Om Suryaya Namaha' means 'Dispeller of darkness. ' In essence, it means that we thank Bhagwaan (God) for the sun for giving us light and energy.

Discussion:

'Jyoti Kalash Chhalke' is a song heralding dawn. In the morning, the rays of the sun awaken everything. They bring splendour to everything they touch. 'Jyoti' means light. 'Kalash' means an urn or water pot. 'Chhalke' means overflowing. The poet expresses his joy at dawn with the phrase 'Jyoti Kalash Chhalke', which literally means that an urn of (divine) light is overflowing.

Dawn

The lyrics of 'Jyoti Kalash Chhalke' evoke a series of positive images. Clouds turn from red to orange to yellow in the morning. The home, the courtyard and the garden are flush with nectar like light. The earth is lush green. Dew laden flowers are a visual delight. The sun cares for everything just like Mother Yashoda cares for Krishna, who manifests in everything around us.

The Light is Mother Yashoda. (Dharti) The Earth / (Gaiyaa) the Cow are life sustaining. Niil Gagan reminds us of the blue image of Lord Krisha.
