End of troubles and sufferings. This is how I would define the upcoming Solar Eclipse on 2nd October. Mohan asked, “End of what kind of troubles?” I smiled and replied, “Thatâs exactly what I will now reveal in this podcast.”
The upcoming Solar Eclipse occurs as the Sun and the Master of all Masters, Ketu, conjunct in the sign of Virgo. Virgo is a feminine sign, and Ketu’s whole purpose is to liberate you. But liberation is often painful because we are attached to so many things in life. When you buy a new home, you become attached to every brick and corner of it. I have seen people become obsessive over their homesâit’s sheer madness. When you buy a new car, even a single scratch on it can cause sleepless nights, with people cursing the one responsible for the blemish. And when it comes to relationshipsâwhether girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, or husbandâpeople often tell me, “I’m so attached to my wife.” This kind of attachment breeds possessiveness. Questions like, “Where is she going?” “Who is she talking to?” or “What is she hiding from me?” arise because of this possessiveness. The root of possessiveness is attachment.
Love is not possessiveness, though many people mistakenly believe that it is. To possess someone is to destroy the possibility of true love. Possessiveness feeds the ego, and attachment is the cause of possessiveness. The role of Ketu is to break this attachment, liberating you so you can experience ultimate freedomâso you can return home, smiling, dancing, and singing. But to move from attachment to detachment, one must go through pain and suffering, which eventually brings about higher awareness. It is through this awareness that you break free and find your freedom.
This Solar Eclipse may push you through the painful process of moving from attachment to detachment, triggering certain events in your life. But remember, this pain is not meant to hurt you; it is meant to make you more alert. People often become alert only when an arrow pierces their heart.
This is the first message of the Solar Eclipse on 2nd October: to make you more alert, so you awaken and realize your foolishness, and so you understand that attachment is the root of your suffering. The Solar Eclipse is a learning phase that triggers something within you, leading to higher awareness. Once you become more aware of reality, you will experience the end of certain troubles in your life. And so now, Mohan, I will tell you which troubles may end with this beautiful event on 2nd October.
- If you are suffering from health issues, those troubles will gradually fade away.
- If you are struggling with unemployment, you will soon find a good job.
- If your life is messy and disorganized, things will soon get sorted, and you’ll be back on track, smiling and enjoying life again.
- If you’ve been a perfectionist making life difficult for yourself, you will realize that perfection is a myth while excellence is reality.
- If youâve been suffering from black magic spells, you will gradually escape the clutches of the black magician and your secret enemies.
- If you’ve been seeking consistency in your spiritual practice, you will become more consistent.
- If you’ve been suffering from body pain, anxiety, or depression, you will gradually feel better.
- If you’ve been thinking of getting a pet, your wish will soon be granted. If you already have pets, youâll see positive developments regarding them.
The upcoming Solar Eclipse is indeed a breakthrough for many. However, to experience these positive changes, you also need to be decent and truthful to yourself. The Solar Eclipse will negatively impact only those who are utterly foolish and offensive, hurting others with abusive comments and actions. For evolving souls, the Solar Eclipse signifies that in the coming six months, you will undergo major positive transformations. Ketu is the master of transformation.
Long ago, I mentioned Shreedhar Swami of Alandi. For 45 years, he performed miracles, helping the childless, healing black magic, and guiding many to success in business and life. But his greatest miracle was turning the minds and hearts of his devotees toward God. I spent time in his small ashram, and he often transformed deeply negative people into pure positive beings. This transformation is possible through the blessings of a Guruâand Ketu is the Guruâs right hand, helping you move from attachment to detachment.

The whole purpose of Ketu is to liberate you from all those things that add no value to your life. A solar eclipse is a perfect setting in which Ketu âbats all over the field,â ensuring that this precious moment is not lost but is used to its maximum potential, so that all that is NOT good for you gets cut from your life. When it comes to cutting, separating, and detaching, there is bound to be a certain painâbut this pain is not to hurt you. This pain is to awaken you from your ‘sleep.’ You will become aware only when the thorn goes deep into your heart. And once you are awakenedâonce you start becoming awareâyou become wise, and then your wisdom guides you in overcoming all the difficulties you have been facing in life. If you are an evolving soulâif your birth chart has a certain depthâthen this upcoming solar eclipse can mark a significant change in you. And when you change, your whole world changes.
Rumi, the great Sufi Saint, says, “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” This is exactly what Ketu does for youâif you can connect with Ketu’s message, you will evolve. If you cannot connect, you will continue to suffer. It all depends on how receptive your “antenna” is. Yesterday, I was saying the same thing to Mohanâthat this whole life is simply about fine-tuning our antenna so we can connect to the higher frequencies more effectively. Mohan asked, “How do we fine-tune our antenna?” The answer is simple and has been repeated for centuries by all the enlightened masters. The answer is, “By chanting the Lord’s name.”
Guru Nanak says, “Naam Japo,” and Sant Kabir, the Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings influenced Hinduism’s Bhakti movement, says, “Naam uthat naam baithat, naam sovatjaag re; Naam khaate naam peete, naam seti lag re” (ā¤ā¤ŦāĨā¤°, ā¤¨ā¤žā¤Ž ā¤ā¤ ā¤¤ ā¤¨ā¤žā¤Ž ā¤ŦāĨā¤ ā¤¤, ā¤¨ā¤žā¤Ž ā¤¸āĨā¤ĩā¤¤ ā¤ā¤žā¤ ā¤°āĨ āĨ¤ ā¤¨ā¤žā¤Ž ā¤ā¤žā¤¤āĨ ā¤¨ā¤žā¤Ž ā¤ĒāĨā¤¤āĨ, ā¤¨ā¤žā¤Ž ā¤¸āĨā¤¤āĨ ā¤˛ā¤žā¤ ā¤°āĨ āĨ¤āĨ¤), meaning, “The worship of God is done only by chanting naam (mantra). Chant that naam while doing your work, before falling asleep, as soon as you wake up in the morning, while having food, while drinking any liquidâthat is, remember naam while doing all the tasks.” The answer has been there for centuries, and yet very few are able to imbibe the essence of this answer. Only these few have been able to understand the language of the heartâbecause chanting slowly moves you from the head to the heart! Once you align with your heart, there is music, there is dance, and your antenna is perfectly connected with the Supreme Lord. Then you simply become a witness to all that happens in your life. You remain on the shore; you become like that beautiful lotus flower. The lotus flower rises above the waters, transforming itself, but it is necessary to remember that without the mud, there would be no lotus flowers.
So donât get frustrated by the mud, because your blossoming will happen only through this mud. A lotus flower blossoms through the mud, a phoenix bird rises from the ashesâeverything beautiful in this world has its roots in suffering, pain, and humility. All of these become the rock-bottom that serves as your solid foundation, through which you can rebuild your life.
It is always auspicious to initiate a new mantra during the Solar Eclipse event. Any new mantra that you start chanting from Solar Eclipse day becomes more effective. So on this Solar Eclipse day, you should start chanting the “Kaal Bhairava Raksha Mantra.” This is how you should chant the Kaal Bhairava Raksha Mantra: “Om Batuk Bhairavaya Kuru Kuru Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha” “Om Batuk Bhairavaya Kuru Kuru Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha” “Om Batuk Bhairavaya Kuru Kuru Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha.”
Start chanting this mantra exactly during the Solar Eclipse event. The timing of the Solar Eclipse event on 2nd October, according to Indian Standard Time, is between 9:13 PM and 3:17 AM on 3rd October. So, in India, the solar eclipse event occurs overnight, starting on 2nd October at 9:13 PM and ending early morning on 3rd October at 3:17 AM.
Sit in a closed room, light a lamp using cow’s ghee, and then start chanting the Kaal Bhairava Raksha Mantra: “Om Batuk Bhairavaya Kuru Kuru Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha” using a Rudraksha japa mala of 108 beads. This will empower your Sun, Mars, and Jupiter, and then you will be alright.
The whole purpose of chanting is to liberate you from the prison of your mind. The mind is the only prison, and the key is “chanting the Holy Lord’s name.”
The mind clings to everything it comes acrossâcar, bike, man, woman, money, powerâyou name it, and the mind will cling to it. And then you come to me and ask, “How to be free? How to attain moksha?” Thatâs what happened when a man came to meet Mansur Al-Hallaj, a great Persian mystic, poet, and teacher of Sufism. The man asked, “How to be free? You all talk about freedom, freedomâbut how to be free?”
Mansur said, âIt is very simple, just see.â They were sitting in a mosque with huge pillars. Al-Hallaj went close to a pillar, caught hold of the pillar with both hands, and started shouting, âHelp me! How can I be free from this pillar?â
The man said, âDonât be mad, you yourself are clinging to the pillar; nobody is doing anything, nor is the pillar. What nonsense are you doing?â
He said, âI am simply answering you. You had asked me how to be free. Have you ever asked anybody the art of not being free? That you know perfectly well. You go on creating new chains, new bondagesâĻ it is your own doing. Undo it! And it is good that it is your own doing because you can undo it without anybody elseâs permission.â
Still, Al-Hallaj was holding the pillar. The man said, âAt least now I understand the point, but please leave that pillar because a crowd is gathering. Everybody knows you are mad, but I am feeling embarrassed to be with you!â
He said, âOnly if you have really understood will I leave this pillar; otherwise, I will die with this pillar.â
He said, âMy God, to ask you a question is to create trouble.â And the crowd started abusing the person. They said, âWhy did you disturb Al-Hallaj? What kind of question have you asked?â
He said, âIt is strange, I had asked a simple question, âHow to be free?â Rather than answering, he went to the pillar, held it, and shouted for help. Thatâs why you all gathered.â
And Al-Hallaj was still shouting, âHelp me! How can I be free?â
Finally, the man said, âForgive me, I will try, but donât make too much mockery of me. Leave that pillar!â
Mansoor said, âWhat do you think? Am I holding the pillar, or is the pillar holding me?â
And this is what Ketu also wants you to contemplate: “Ask yourselfâis the matter holding you, or are you holding onto the matter? She said this, he said that, she did this to me, he did that to me.” When you continue with this ranting, it is obvious that you are holding onto the matter. The more you cling, the more you suffer. The solution is to LET GOâthat’s the message of this upcoming Solar Eclipse event. LET GO of all that adds no value to your self-growth. Learn to LET GO, and that is possible when you realize the beauty of acceptance.
Enough for now. Learn to live without fearâfear is just a thought. Drop the ‘thought,’ and you will be alright.
Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
