Blood Moon: The Total Lunar Eclipse of 2025

Month of September 2025 will witness two Eclipses – Lunar Eclipse on the 7^th September and Solar Eclipse on the 21^st September. Solar Eclipse will not be visible in India. However, this is mentioned here due to cosmic play. As such precaution for Surya Grahan and Sootak etc. will not be applicable. However, Lunar Eclipse will be visible on 7^th September 2025. It will be the total Lunar Eclipse.

The Moon will turn into a blood Moon event in 2025. This red colour is caused by the earth’s atmosphere scattering away shorter blue wavelength of light and refracting the longer, red wavelengths into the Moons surface, as it passes into earth’s shadow. This natural phenomenon will be visible from certain parts of Asia, Africa and Australia.

It is extremely auspicious to hold a cup filled with brahmi ghee and recite the mantra, ‘Om Namoh Narayanyay’ or Chandra mantra – “Om Sharm Shrim Shrom Sah Chandraye Namah” 8000 times during the eclipse. After the eclipse is over, one should consume the ghee. By doing so, one is said to receive utmost divine blessings and possess extraordinary creative and analytical skills.

She should sit with a coconut and bunch of tulsi leaves.
If necessary she may take medicine or water mixed with sesame seeds and kush.

Pregnant women should be extra careful during an eclipse as advised.
Garbha Chandi should be recited regularly. Ram Kavach, Durga Kavach, or Sri Hanuman Kavach may also be worn for patients with critical stage of pregnancy.

Putting tulsi leaves on all eatables ensure their purity and goodness. However, cooked food should be given away to a cow or dog and fresh food should be cooked for consumption after the eclipse is over.
During eclipse, water mixed with sesame seeds and kush should be consumed only when it is extremely essential. It is better to avoid eating or drinking anything during the eclipse period.
Bathing during Grahan Sparsh, performing homa during Grahan, doing poojan, shraddha rituals in Madhya and bathing with full clothes on at the end of Grahan should be followed. Women can bathe without washing their hair.

A person attains virtues by doing charity like feeding the animals or donating things to the poor people during the eclipse.
On the day of eclipse, flowers, leaves and twigs should not be plucked or broken. One should avoid cleaning oneself like washing hair or brushing teeth.
