How Solar Eclipse in 2021 Occurs?

According to scientists, a Solar Eclipse in 2021 occurs when the Earth, Moon and Sun, all come together and stay positioned in a straight line while moving around in their orbital paths. During this time, the planet Moon completely covers the Sun, which affects its rays from entering the surface of the Earth. In such a state, the sky appears dark since there’s no sunlight, and this phenomenon is titled as Solar Eclipse.

Mythological Significance of Solar Eclipse 2021

Apart from its scientific importance, the Solar Eclipse holds great mythological significance, which is also mentioned in the great Matsya Purana. According to it, when the Amrit or Nectar of Immortality was extracted from the ocean during the Samudra Manthan, a war began between the Gods and Demons or Asuras since both of them wanted to consume it. In the midst of all, a demon named Swarbhanu planned a strategy to fulfill his wishes of consuming the nectar by hiding among the Gods. But during all of this, Lord Surya and Lord Chandra revealed his reality by catching him.

As soon as this trick played by the Asura Swarbhanu became known to Lord Vishnu, he became angry and separated his head and torso with his Sudarshan Chakra. But since Swarbhanu had tasted the Amrit, he did not die. Instead, his head was named Rahu, whereas his torso became Rahu. Hence, as a result of his vengeance, every year Rahu covers the Moon and the Sun and causes the phenomenon of Solar Eclipse.

Sutak Kaal Before Solar Eclipse 2021

A Sutak Kaal is considered to be a certain time period observed before the Solar Eclipse, which is considered to be inauspicious. According to the Sanatan Dharma, it is the period when the Earth remains under severe contamination due to the malefic influence of Solar Eclipse. In order to get rid of such effects, several religious precautions are necessary to be followed

The Sutak Kaal during the Solar Eclipse in 2021 depends entirely on the time of eclipse. As per the Panchang, the Sutak Kaal begins four phases before the time of occurrence of a Solar Eclipse. According to the Hindu Panchag, there are eight phases or prahars from sunrise to sunset in total, out of which four pahars or twelve hours prior, the Sutak Kaal for a Solar Eclipse begins and ends with the end of the Eclipse.
