Indian astrologers are predicting violence and turmoil across the world as a result of this week's total solar eclipse, which the superstitious and religious view as a sign of potential doom.
But astronomers, scientists and secularists are trying to play down claims of evil portent in connection with Wednesday's natural spectacle, when the moon will come between the Earth and the sun, completely obscuring the sun.
In Hindu mythology, the two demons Rahu and Ketu are said to "swallow" the sun during eclipses, snuffing out its life-giving light and causing food to become inedible and water undrinkable.
Pregnant women are advised to stay indoors to prevent their babies developing birth defects, while prayers, fasting and ritual bathing, particularly in holy rivers, are encouraged.

You said — What’s your take on it?

Just that I want to see them, if I last that long... That’s about it, but I’m thinking that we might not be here for all of it... :-)
Hmmm.
Plausible.
What time span are you talking about? I haven’t read all the post/thread.
Post #16...
However, that’s exactly what’s going to happen in the middle of the United States in the next 50 years — four total eclipses of the Sun will cross a region just 600 miles across, within the space of 35 years. Two places in the USA will each see two total eclipses of the Sun separated by just 7 years. And as if that wasn’t enough, just 20 years later it happens again in Mexico, just over the border from Texas!
That’s not actually too far away, but considering the ‘times” we are in, other things may happen before then...
Thanks.
Yes, I’m convinced that the trend lines are clearly indicative of THE END TIMES being wrapped up well before then.

The 22nd...3.5 years from 12/21 2012 hmmmmm....
Ping for later.
Interesting times we live in regardless of which of the plausible, probable options transpire.
I was wondering if I would still be around ... back then. It kinda looks like I will be. I’m starting to make plans now! I came across this post when starting to research things ... :-) ...
How about y’all?
