After the Eclipse • Shower with your clothes on (to ensure the clothes are soaked) and wash any cloth you touched during the eclipse • Thakorji should be offered a full thaal once the grahan has ended. Shreeji 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) https://donate.na.baps.org/edison
