Jay Swãminãrãyan,

As our local mandal continues to grow and we continue to embrace technology as it evolves, going forward our 'BAPS LA - Announcements' Telegram channel will be used to communicate Aksharnivas announcements instead of email to ensure the communication is more swift.

Jay Swãminãrãyan, here are key announcements from Sunday’s sabha.
Announcement: Chandra Grahan

Jay Swãminãrãyan,

There is a Lunar Eclipse tomorrow, Thursday, August 27th with the vedh starting at 10:34 am PST. Grahan will begin at 7.34pm PST.

Link to watch the Grahan sabha from Thursday, August 27th from 7:00 pm PST to 10:51 pm PST: https://baps.sl/west/GrahanSabha

Shriji Maharaj has said: At the time of a solar or lunar eclipse, one should instantly stop all activities and chant the mantra of God in a purified state. (86). After the eclipse, devotees should bathe with the clothes one is wearing and then offer worship to God (householders should offer donations and renunciants should do puja). (87)

Mahant Swami Maharaj has written in the Satsang Diksha: When the eclipse is over, all should bathe and soak the clothes they are wearing. Thereafter, renunciants should perform puja and householder devotees should give donations. (266)
