IN THE PAST OF INDIA, KNOWLEDGE WAS LET TO BE KNOWN TO ONLY A FEW SCHOLARS. OTHERS FOLLOWED AND RESPECTED WHAT SCHOLARS UTTERED..!
SCHOLARS HAD NO OTHER WAY OF MAKING THE DUMB/"UN-EDUCATED" FOLK BUT BY INVOLVING GODLY STORIES AND SUPERSTITIONS.. WE LEARNED PEOPLE STILL FOLLOW THE SAME STORIES TO FOLLOW THE RIGHT RULES UNKNOWINGLY..
WHEREAS THE WESTERN PEOPLE KNOW THE PROS AND CONS OF SOLAR ECLIPSE VERY WELL AND THE MESSAGE IS SPREAD TO ALL .. SO, THEY FOLLOW THE RULES KNOWINGLY...!

If you want to lick the posteriors of the West you are welcome to do so. But do not denigrate the Indians. Long before the west started eating cooked food the Indians wrote about the galaxy.

It is not that people follow blidly, they will study philosophy to understand the truth,as we study computer,science and business. The sun ray are harmful to us during elipcs time, it also react on all food items that is the reason we do not eat during and before eclipse.

The knowledge of ECLIPSE is known to indians from ancient times. But europeans could know and prove it just more than 250 years ago. Our saints/mathematicians did it long back. So do not blame indians because the modern people simply follow what western says. Mind It .....

This 'Jack' ass has only enough brains as a 'sparrow'. This fellow does'nt even have the common sense that our astrologers (genuine ones) calculate the eclipses and other natural phenomena without the aid of NASA's sophisticated instruments. If some fools have stupid superstitions which the science or scriptures don't accept, as in any part of the world, that doesn't mean all what is done here is superstition and without any use. Do not negate all those things, simply because you don't believe or understand that!
