It also said that another celestial event this month, an eclipse of the Moon would occur on August 17 and would be visible in the country from 1.06 am to 4.14 am. The Lunar eclipse will be visible in India, throughout most of Asia,South America, Europe and Australia on August 17. Though the eclipse would be partial, over 80 per cent of the Moon’s
diameter would be covered by the darker shadow of the Earth at the time of the eclipse.Stars that are afflicted due to the occurrence of the Lunar Eclipse are Mrigashira, Chitra, Dhanista, Shravana, Rohini, Hasta, Shatabhisha, Arudra and Swathi. People born under these birth stars should perform remedies on this day. Also people born under the Moon sign of Capricorn should perform remedies. People born on Saturdays and Sundays should also perform the remedies for their birth stars.The significance of performing these remedies is that people who are afflicted by the eclipse may suffer from health problems. Performance of these remedies can alleviate the negative influence.It is important for people born under the stars mentioned above to perform archana to the Nakshatra Lingas consecrated at the famous temple in Thiruvotriyur. Offering of archanas and feeding poor people would ward off the maladies that could trouble people born under the afflicted stars.
Generally it is important for every one to perform Tarpan.This Lunar Eclipse is very powerful and it is recommended to perform Tarpan on both Saturday August 16th and Sunday August 17th.
Performing tarpan for ancestors on Saturday helps you to earn good Karma as Saturn Karma. Moreover the Full Moon also falls on Saturday and it is the Day of Lunar eclipse. As per the Vedas, tarpan should be perfomed after the eclipses in order to appease  the souls as it is during the Eclipse time these souls come to the earthplane.

It is my wish to visit Tmn.Negara for very long time, ever since I became member of Malaysia Nature Society ! The dream came true last week. Morning coach left to Kuala.Tembeling from KL for a boat ride to Tmn.Negara which took almost 2 hours. The journey is simply wordless, breathing in array of fresh air, river breezes and chilly air put me to sleep almost deeply! The trees and jungles nourishes my eyes with greens, nothing but greens. The Flora and Fauna evolves million years ago and standing still even today. Nothing much could be a feast for my eyes than the beauty of the virgin jungle (my good friend named it " Virgin blackforest" ) . It is indeed one of the oldest rainforest in the world, aging 130 million years.

There are many activities that I have participated such as Jungle Walk, well watch out for the spunky creature - LEECH !! We witnessed Giant Termites, mating praying mantis, snakes which camaflouge with the surrounding and wild scorpion. Next day we took the "Canopy Walk" , it is about 900++ feet above, Im not aerophobia thus I enjoyed the walk very much. Next we trekked to Bukit Teresek, 3.5KM above the sea level. The walk is tremendously interesting but very tiring. It is my fault , I didn’t bring enough water with me.. I’m glad that I left my footprints along the path that we took. The miniscule view of Gunung Tahan is very fascinating, I’m at the peak of happiness but sweating ferociously. My body was swampy with sweats and baygon spray The chirping of birds & singing of insects beats any music to your ears, the lullaby will make you to sleep and wonder the creation of GOD.

After lunch we went to visit Abrogines -Orang Asli settlement . They lead such a simple life and they don’t need money to survive, their "house" is just made from pinned dried leaves. They survive hunting wild animals in the jungle, using their  "sumpit" or poisonous spears made from tree sap. I also witnessed how they make fire and eventually use it for grilling their fishes. I kinda of fallen in love with they way they live - very simplistic, magnificient nomadic way leading their lives.

Next, I enjoyed the rapid shootings !! " Be prepared to get wet " that is moola for this activity. The boat will speed off against stream of high current and the next moment before you even realise it, your’re completely wet and drenched, the air is so chilly abd refreshing, I was trembling in cold, but quietly enjoyed every bits of the surrounding.

The next day we took boat ride back to Kuala Tembeling, for a second time, I njoyed the fresh breezy air and meditated in the boat. The surrounding is so calm and quiet. God’s creation are so wonderful, What I witnessed in the Virgin jungle is the wealth of undisturbed, fully propagated and preserved naturalistic equinox of habitats that city life can’t give you. The diversity of nature is trully phenomenal in Taman Negara, one of the world’s most complex and rich ecosystems.

Im planning for my next trip !!!
