The moon is one of the nine houses in Indian astrology and is considered quite a strong influence on our health and wellbeing. He is supposed to influence our emotions and mind, thus having a strong presence in our subconscious structures.
There are many mantras to honour these auspicious qualities of the moon. This is another very special mantra that honors the moon and is often chanted to pacify the negative effects of the moon in our astrological charts. It honors the Moon as Soma, the king of the medicinal nectars which are so important for healing.
Listen to this mantra 12 times each day, at sunrise and sunset time.
