Is triple eclipse a bad omen?

Does the celestial phenomenon of a triple eclipse occurring in the month of July-August portend anything, or forewarn of any natural disaster or a man-made one as it did in ancient history.

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`.

`Another triple eclipse in 3031 BCE coincided with the destruction of the ancient city of Dwarka. More recently, the first half of the 20th 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`, said Hari.


The Ramayana too mentions of a solar eclipse that occurred on the day of the fight between Rama, the epic hero and the two demons, Khar and Dushan.
