This relatively rare central eclipse - meaning the moon will pass near the center of Earth's shadow - promises to be longer and darker than usual. A similar eclipse will not occur until 2018. This could be one of the more spectacular lunar eclipses for some time!
This was witnessed around 10:54 pm Local time and the total phase itself lasts for 100 minutes said The Arthur C Clarke Institute for Modern Technologies (ACCIMT).

Shree Sambuddhathva Jayanthiya - 2600


“Those who have high thoughts are ever striving;
 they are not happy to remain in the same place. 
Like swans that leave their lake and 
rise into the air, 
they leave their home and
 fly for a higher home.”


Sududdasam sunipunam

yatthakamanipatinam

cittam rakketha medhavi

cittam guttam sukhavaham.

The mind is very difficult to see, 
very delicate and subtle;
 it moves and lands wherever it pleases. 
The wise one should guard his mind,
 for a guarded mind brings happiness
