Mantras for Moon
(Chandra)
Part
1
The Moon in Hindu
astrology is known as Chandra. Shiva having Chandra adorning his head is known
by name Chandradhara. The other name most popular is Soma. Chandra means `shiny’
and Soma is the sacred intoxicating drink that was used in vedic rituals. Moon
is known as Luna as in the words, `lunatic’ and `lunar tides’ Ancients, both in
East and West observed that mental make up depends on Moon and the lunatics
were observed to have a relationship with phases of Moon. This theory has been
proved as well as disproved thrice by the psychologists! Moon’s position is all
important in the chart as the transit effects, the directional scale is
determined by the position of Moon. As such, the predictions based on Moon sign
represent the person more than the Sun sign. Nobody has been observed to have
mental illness due to position of Sun to be called solatic! Moon indicates
changing mood. Moon is the karaka for mother, happiness, feminine beauty,
mental status and eyesight. Remedial measures to Chandra will give peace of
mind, healthy mental activity so that intelligence (represented by Budha) is
put to full use. Anxiety related disorders and mental disorders and water
related diseases are cured by propitiation to Chandra.
Monday is considered best
for worshipping the Moon. Some scholars are of the opinion that the sadhana could be performed during Guru-pushya or Ravi-pushya yoga. The sadhna
should start from Monday falling during shukla
paksha. The devotee should wear white clothes, have a white seat and food
for offering should also be white. The sage of the Mantra is gautam. The metre is atyasti. The deity of the Mantra is the
Moon God. The mantra is to be recited eleven thousand times. Saphatika (Crystal) idol of Moon God is
used for worshipping the god. After realization of the mantra homa is done with the twigs of plash. 1/10 of the recital is done homa and 1/10 of homa is done tarpan and marzan respectively. Brahmins are fed milk, rice or milk
boiled with rice and sugar. The mantra for recital is:
