The Solar Eclipse- Will it affect us anyways?

   We are the earthlings although our Atman, soul, has arrived here on earth due to radiation from distant stars. The Sun governs the solar system. In a way, the Sun, 'sooryaah' is the Divine Mother of whom all the nine Planets, including the Earth, are borne (out of condensation and cooling of the solar flares!). The earth has no independent existence of its own! All the living beings are also governed by the cosmic laws. We are known as the 'soorayaah' in the Vedic terms. As such, everything is affected by the happenings in the solar system., particularly, the movement of the earth and the moon around the Sun.
     Today, Sunday, the 21st June 2020 is a day when the solar eclipse takes place between 10 am and 1 pm. The Moon comes between the earth and the sun and parts of our earth is blocked from sunlight. Will this affect us in anyways. Yes The sunrays are giving us light, heat and the energy. There are many rays that supply vitamin D and keep our shin healthy. The seven colors- VIBGYOR, and the UV and Infra-Red rays, the X- rays, alpha, beta, gamma and other innumerable subtle rays affect us innumerable ways! We do not know all of them. We are asked to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of the direct UV rays and Ray ban goggles are advised to protect the delicate membranes of the eyes! Now the eclipse is going to affect us in many ways. Most of the rays are blocked and very sharp corona will directly hit us. These are the rays of the solar flares. Hence the heat and magnetism will definitely affect us. One should never see the Sun directly. The Sun, Aditya as our Deity also protect us when we inadvertently look at the Sun. The Sun develops a black shadow and blacken itself to protect us! There are many things revealed in the Rk Veda. In fact, the Veda eulogizes the Sun. The seven horses draw the single wheeled chariot. It is the shadow of the sun that reaches us here! The seven horses create a shadow so that the direct rays do not harm us! Moreover, the sun is getting all the power from the supreme Lord Narayana. The Sun is Surynarayana, He is also called Aditya, Bhaskara, Vibhakara, and a thousand other names. We pay our daily adorations with surya namaskara.
The surya mantra are 
    Adytyaya vidmahe, sahasra dyutikiranaya dhee mahi, dhee yo yo nah prachodayaat |
    Bhaskaraya vidmahe, vibhakaraya dhee mahi, tanno surya prachodayaat |
   Om ghrunee suryah adityaaya nmah, Om | apojyoti raso'mrutam brahma bhur bhuvah svar Om| tat savitruvarenyam  bhargo devasya dhee mahi dhee yo yo nah prachodayaat |
   There twelve Vedic Deities of Gayatri mantra shakti and twelve kriya shakti (Tantriki shakti) devata that give us all that we need in the last mantra above. These are the most powerful mantra to be chanted daily.
