Don’t poison yourself by eating during lunar eclipse

Excerpt

All the 28 days, all the 28 phases of the moon, you see right here. One thing that you will notice is the food, particularly the cooked food will go through the phases of its deterioration much much more rapidly, in a subtle way than it does on a normal day.

Why should we not eat during lunar eclipse?

The following is an unedited transcript of Sadhguru's video. For better readability, breaks and highlights have been added by the editors.

So here, the moon is on fast forward today. All the 28 days, all the 28 phases of the moon, you see right here. Everything that happens in a month, in a subtle way is happening right here. When such a fast forward is happening, many things are changing. One thing that you will notice is the food, particularly the cooked food will go through the phases of its deterioration much much more rapidly, in a subtle way than it does on a normal day.

We thought we will do a little experiment. Do we have food here? [Swami keeps a bowl of food in front of Sadhguru]…If there is food in your body it would happen to you much more. That is – in 2 hours time you energies will age by approximately 28 days. That means 27 days less of life span could happen to you, energy wise in a subtle way.

We’ll keep watching this as it goes by. [Holding Rudrakaha mala over the food bowl}…So, right now it’s still okay [mala moving clockwise]. You watch this in the next one and a half hours. You will see things will change about this food, as we sit here. We will leave it now, it will mature.

[After some time, holding Rudrakahs mala over the food bowl]…See how quiet it has become now. Not very enthusiastic. First time we held it, it was clearly going this way [clockwise]. Right not it is simply [still]. It is. still not totally ‘tamas’. It is moving there, it’s almost there. You will see in another 15-20 minutes, if you check it, it will be going anti-clockwise. By the time you see the tiny piece of moon, you will see actively it will be going this way [anti-clockwise].

So, if this was in your stomach right now. 7 O’ clock if you had your dinner and would be sitting here, this would be happening within you. So, I thought it’s better that it happens outside, than within you. Because food will rot in the stomach.

[After some time]…Let’s see what’s happening to the sambar. It’s important, isn’t it? [Holding Rudrakaha mala over the food bowl] You see this. Are you able to see this? [Rudrakaha mala moving anti-clockwise]…Actively going negative. See we told you not to eat. Those people in Delhi who are eating today, what to do with them. What is nourishing food is turning into poison! That’s what is happening.
