<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->What is strange is that if one looks back at the events that have unfolded in the past, triple eclipses have always been followed by destruction. Hari told rediff.com that the first of the triple eclipses was recorded way back in 3067 BCE (Before Common Era). Following this triple eclipse there was the Kurukshethra war which was fought between the Pandavas and Kauravas in which 47 lakh people took part. The sequence of the first triple eclipse was as follows- Lunar eclipse on 29 September 3067, Solar eclipse on 14 October 3067 and Lunar eclipse on 28 October 3067 BCE.
The second of the triple eclipses occurred in 36 years after the first one in November 3031 BCE. There was a lunar eclipse on October 20, which was followed by a solar and lunar eclipse on November 5 and November 19, 3031 BCE. Following this sequence, the city of Dwaraka was destroyed after it was submerged in water.
Hari explains that in the years 1913 to 1946 people have witnessed back to back triple eclipses. There were triple eclipses in the years 1915, 1916 and 1917. This was the period when the world witnessed World War I.

There were triple eclipses in 1940, 1942 and 1944 when the world witnessed World War II.
