An introduction to the Navagrahas ... Spotlight on Chandra

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Continuing our series on the Navagrahas, here is what Ruk had to write about the

Moon (aka Chandra or Soma)

 

=================

 

Moon (Soma)

Mantra: Om Aim Klim Somaaya Namah

 

Soma stands for the moon (devotion). Soma inspires selfless love and seva.

Ida (Sun) & Pingala (Moon), are the 2 rivers, the Ganga and Jamuna. These 2

main rivers flow into the land of the 7 rivers. (Ganges, Jamuna, Godavari,

Sarasvati, Narmada, Sindhu & Kaveri).

 

When the Sun and Moon are prominent in the astrology chart, then the person

is focused, attentive, a good meditator, a good student and easily grasps

issues.

 

Maa laughingly added that she was always a bad student, even though she had

a strong Sun & Moon. Swamiji told her she just did not want to focus on the

mundane learning of life. She was so focused on devotion that nothing else

was important.

=====================

 

Jai MAA
