Well i believe on it. it appears to be a superstition but these things do affect lives of the people. try to keep a little faith and you will see that these affect life. donot trust what they say on tv but ask someone to read kundli and make calculations then and you will find they are true.

I do not think so. But, I know many people attache a lot of meaning and effect on the lives of people by the solar eclipse. They take this as an important phenonmenon of astrology, I presume. I was reading in the news about how people reacted to the eclipse. That was very interesting.

Total Solar Eclipse - 07/21/2009 - The eclipse — visible only in Asia — will reach its peak in India at about 6:20 a.m. local time (8:50 p.m. EDT; 0050 GMT), and will last 6 minutes and 39 seconds at its maximum point. It is the longest such eclipse since July 11, 1991, when a total eclipse lasting 6 minutes, 53 seconds was visible from Hawaii to South America.
The eclipse will first be sighted at dawn Wednesday in India's Gulf of Khambhat, just north of the metropolis of Mumbai, before being seen in a broad swath moving north and east to Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Bhutan and China.

Wednesday's eclipse will be seen for 3 minutes and 48 seconds in the Indian village of Taregna, where scientists say residents will have the clearest view.
That is just superstition. The eclipse will only be total for 5 minutes. I see it as the sun and moon embracing..as one. The harmful part is if you look directly at it with no eye protection. I'll explain- Many people suffer serious, incurable eye damage when viewing solar eclipses. To prevent eye damage, you must be informed of the dangers, the many misunderstood and dangerous viewing methods, and the few (but cheap and easy) safe viewing methods. The Dangers Looking directly at the sun for more than a second at any time (eclipse or no eclipse) can damage your eyes. Viewing a partial (annular) eclipse and/or the partial phases of a total solar eclipse with unprotected eyes is worse because you are concentrating on looking at the sun, and you look at it longer. It will cause serious injury to your eyes that will affect your vision for the rest of your life. Parts of your retina may literally be cooked! You will feel nothing (there are no pain receptors in your retinas.) The sunlight may not even be very bright. You will notice no difference for several hours. But then you will notice a difference, and your eyes will be damaged for as long as you live. Don't take a chance!Safe Viewing Methods There are only three safe viewing methods: 1. Viewing through a special aluminized Mylar film designed specifically for eclipse viewing. (The Mylar may be made into very inexpensive paper-framed viewers or glasses and sold cheaply, or distributed free.) 2. Viewing through very dark welder's glass (No. 14) 3. Viewing by projection: you use a card with a small hole in it to project an image of the eclipse on a screen, and you watch the screen, not the sun. You can use a piece of paper, or even a straw hat with a little hole in it. Just put something with a little hole in it over a flat surface and you'll see the sun's movement.
