It is said that if cooked food, drinking water, milk etc remains exposed to solar/lunar eclipse it should not be consumed. It can be consumed only if a tulsi leaf is kept in it. Does this tulsi leaf can reduce the harmful effect of the eclipse. It is also said that exposure to eclipse for pragnent ladies and their unborn baby is not good .
Is this just a myth or is there any scientific reason for it. Plz help

There's no truth in this at all - you might just as well be concerned about cooking indoors or at night. The "exposed UV rays in the chromosphere" aren't a problem either - the chromosphere's hidden during an eclipse. Staring at the uneclipsed sun isn't a good idea though!

What u know about the solar- lunar eclipse seems to be correct.
There are various forces acting in this universe. Some we can feel and we can't. If u are exposed to X-Rays u will not be able to know. But your body will surely be damaged.
Similar is the case with eclipses. So forces become active or dominant during these times and cause good or bad effects.
Tulsi plant is a very special gift of God. He has given some special powers to her(Tulsi), becuase of his love and mercy for her.

There's no science behind it at all. It's one of the more ridiculous Myths I've heard. The only harm that can come out of any eclipse, is that if it is a solar eclipse, the exposed UV rays in the chromosphere of the sun can blind you

umm... no... the moon has no visible difference on your body. All that happens during the eclipse is that you can see the sun and you can't see the sun. but if you want it to make a difference, i think looking straight at the moon during a solar eclipse will certainly make you're pregnancy harder. (don't do that, seriously, it may blind you) You have many more things to worry about than the moon.

who said all such things have scintific reasons behind them, its simply myth. the only prob arising during a solar eclipse is that it can burn the fovea present in your retina leading to some visual defects, if proper measures are not taken while watching one.
and as far as pregenent ladies are concerned, the harmful uv rays can affect the unborn, but only to a small extent. But the rest is just ****.

The eclipse has no affect on the earth. Please join the 21st century.
