Lunar Musings from the Rigveda and Other Sources
Dmitri Gheorgheni, Post Editor Started conversation Jul 3, 2020
Today, I was trying to find out more about tomorrow night's lunar eclipse 
, and stumbled across lots of questions from India about what you can or cannot do during the Chandra Grahan. Apparently, it's inauspicious to eat, drink, have sex, or sleep during a lunar eclipse because of the negative energies. You can chant mantras, though.
Elektra suggested, 'Come back, Moon.'
I'm down with not trying to sleep during a lunar eclipse. Full moons tend to mess with my sleep, anyway.
This reminds me of the STTNG episode 'Masks', where Data and Captain Picard act out a solar/lunar myth.
I have discovered a highly entertaining narrative that explains everything. Please mute sound if a prolonged 'om' at about the frequency of a didgeridoo would disturb you.
Also note: I think the narrator means 'elixir of immortality' and not 'elixir of immorality'. That's just a guess on my part.

Here's to happy and safe eclipsing!
