Surya Grahan 2025: We have always heard from our elders that one should not eat or sleep during the eclipse period. Many of us ignore these things. But the question comes to mind why is eating and sleeping prohibited during the eclipse, what is the reason behind it? Is there any harm in doing this? So let us tell you that eating, drinking, and sleeping is considered forbidden during the eclipse period. This has also been mentioned in the scriptures.

Actually, not only eating but also sleeping is prohibited during the eclipse period, and along with this there are many such tasks which are considered forbidden. Let us tell you that in Skanda Purana, there is a mention of not eating or drinking anything during the solar eclipse. In such a situation, let us know why eating and sleeping during a solar eclipse is considered inauspicious.

When is the solar eclipse happening?
The first solar eclipse of the year 2025 will take place on 29 March 2025 on the new moon date of Chaitra month. The eclipse will not be visible in India, so its Sutak period will not be valid in India.

This has been mentioned in the Puranas.

It has been told in Skanda Purana that one should not eat food during both lunar and solar eclipses. Because if food is eaten during the eclipse, then all the virtues of the person are destroyed.

Along with this, according to astrologers, it is believed that germs spread very fast during the eclipse period and if food is eaten during this time, it becomes like poison. Due to this, the body has to face many types of diseases in this birth, as well as in the next birth, it has to face many types of pain. That is why before the solar eclipse, Kush is put in the food items, so that all the bacteria get collected in the Kush.

Can one sleep during the eclipse?

According to astrology, sleeping during a solar eclipse is also prohibited. Because it is believed that if we sleep during the period of eclipse, it hurts our body and our life. Because according to beliefs, negative energy is very effective during a solar eclipse. Due to this physical and mental health can deteriorate. Therefore sleeping is considered forbidden.
