Dear readers
I am going to write about the total lunar eclipse which is going to happen on 31st January 2018. This lunar eclipse will be visible all over India. The lunar eclipse will be visible in Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Meghalaya and East-West Bengal after moon rise. Eclipse will start even before moon rise in the rest of India.
It will start from 17:18 (5:18PM) and end on 20:41 (8:41PM) on 31st January 2018.

'Parva Kaal' of Lunar Eclipse:
The duration of eclipse is called the Parva Kaal. Holy bath, charity and Mantra recitation has lot of importance during eclipse. Normally the 'Parva Kaal' lasts from the beginning of eclipse till the end of eclipse. In my opinion, everyone should do their spiritual activities by considering moon rise as the beginning of Parva Kaal.
'Sutak' of Eclipse:
Sutak of this eclipse will start from 8:18 a.m. on 31st January 2018.
Effect of Eclipse on Zodiac Signs:
This particular lunar eclipse is happening on Pushya and ashlesha nakshatras and cancer sign. That is why the eclipse will not prove to be very favorable for these nakshatras and sign. You can refer the following table which lists the effect of eclipse on all the zodiac signs.
Do's and Don'ts During and After the Eclipse:
During the sutak and eclipse holy bath, charity, Mantra recitation, reading of religious scriptures, pilgrimage, meditation, havan etc. should be done.
One should keep aside things like grains, rice, white clothes and other things that are to be donated before sunset on 31st January. These should be donated on the next day on 1st February 2018 at the time of sunrise, after taking bath, to an honest and deserving Brahmin or to the poor people.
These things are prohibited during sutak and eclipse; touching an idle, unnecessary consumption of food, sex, sleeping, oil massage etc.
Telling a lie, gossiping, cutting nails are also prohibited.
Consuming food or taking medicine during the eclipse are not prohibited for old people, patients, kids and pregnant ladies.
Pregnant ladies should avoid cutting vegetables and baking pappads. They should keep reciting religious scriptures during the eclipse so that the baby in the womb gets good samskaras.
One should drop Kusha grass or Tulsi before sutak in liquid food items like milk, curd, pickle, chutney etc. so that these do not get contaminated.

One should recite Mahamrityunjaya Mantra during Eclipse for getting rid of diseases. One can also do this remedy for recovery from diseases.
Remedy for Recovery from Diseases on Lunar Eclipse
This remedy needs to be done anytime before the eclipse starts.
1) Take a bronze or silver bowl.
2) Fill it with ghee (clarified butter).
3) Take a silver coin (weight of the coin does not matter). Keep it in your right hand and sit on the floor on an asana facing east direction.
4) With the coin in your right hand, recite this mantra for at least 108 times.
5) After this put the coin in the bowl filled with ghee.
6) The patient should then see his/her face in the ghee.
7) After the eclipse is over, the bowl along with the coin in it should be donated along with clothes, fruits and money as per one's capacity to an honest Brahmin.
It is not necessary that the patient himself has to do all these steps. Step 1 to 5 and step 7 can be done by anyone in the patient's family.
Step 7 can be performed next morning as well because the eclipse will end late in the night. Please note that the mantra should be recited when the eclipse is on.
Apart from this, reciting mahamrityunjay mantra during the duration of eclipse is very beneficial for any disease.
