Confusion / Myth or Truth
- Sutak applies automatically on any Surya Grahan; Sutak only applies where the eclipse is visible.
- Everyone should fast during the eclipse, not required in India for this eclipse. Optional for spiritual seekers.
- Pregnant women are at risk only if the eclipse is visible. No need to worry in India.
- All eclipses are bad omens. Eclipses are neutral cosmic events; they reveal hidden karma, not always bad.
- You can’t do puja or touch idols. True only if the eclipse is visible. In India, there’s no restriction on this date.
General Vedic Remedies (Optional for Indians):
- Chant the Aditya Hridaya Stotra in the morning.
- Avoid new ventures between 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM if you're abroad in a visible region.
- Donate wheat, jaggery, or red cloth to Brahmins or poor people on this day.
- Offer Arghya (water) to the Sun at sunrise.
If you’re in India, treat 2 August 2025 as a normal Amavasya day—ideal for meditation, ancestor prayers, or cleansing rituals, but not bound by Sutak or fear.
Summary
Yes, a real solar eclipse will occur on 2 August 2025, but it is not visible in India. Hence, no rituals, fears, or restrictions apply to most Indian residents. The confusion arises because many assume every eclipse affects India, which is not the case.
