Book on astronomical events launched
Does the triple eclipse in the month of July-August forewarn of any natural disaster or a manmade one as it did in ancient history. This is the essence of a new book being published by the Art of Living Foundation.
The book titled `Will History Repeat Itself? Triple Eclipse of July 2009. Omnious? Promising?' takes a look at the possibilities that could follow astronomical event of a lunar eclipse on July 7, 2009 followed by a solar eclipse on July 22, 2009 and another lunar eclipse on August 6, 2009.
The authors D K Hari and D Hema Hari, a couple, founders of Bharath Gyan, that attempts to collate and disseminate information on India over the ages, said "The first recorded triple eclipse in 3067 BCE (Before the Common Era) coincided with the Kurukhshetra war".
They said another triple eclipse in 3031 BCE coincided with the destruction of the ancient city of Dwarka.
More recently, the first half of the twentieth century saw the occurrence of a series of triple eclipse between 1910 and 1945, which coincided with the World Wars I and II, the holocaust and the nuclear bombings in Japan.
