Chandra Sloka (Peace of Mind)

from THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME by Mary Isis

about

This hymn, or sloka, is also known as Soma's Sloka.
This song is to bring calm and peace to the mind.
Another name for the Moon/Chandra is "Soma," which is individualized consciousness as it manifests through the mind and emotions. It is the feeling nature that unites the body with the soul. Being souls in a body, we go through our own phases like the moon, reflecting the light of the Sun.
The Moon is the ruler of the mental/emotional faculties and in this age many of us may have a hard time "turning off" the mind which can cause great suffering. Or we might have a tendency to seek through our mental processes knowledge to no end, never feeling like we ever have enough and at the same time feeling overwhelmed with it all. The light of illumination (of our own divinity and consciousness) comes from within- if we constantly seek it from outside ourselves we will find that it waxes and wanes like the moon. But this is the paradox of being Human- being infinite consciousness within a finite body.

lyrics

Moon Gayatri:
Om Ksheera Putraya Vidmahe
Amritatvaye Dhimahi
Thanno Chandra Prachodayat
Swaha.
“Om. Let us meditate on the glorious son of milk, the glowing Moon. May that Chandra, the essence of nectar, inspire and illumine our mind and understanding.”

Chandra or Soma's Sloka:
Om Dadhi-shankha Tushaarabham
Ksheeror-daarnava sambhavam
Namami Shashinam Somam
Shambhor-mukuta-bhooshanam
translation: "I bow to the Moon, whose color resembles the hue of Curds, a Conch and the color of show, The one who sprang out from the milky ocean, I bow down to the effulgent emblem of devotion, the one who beautifies the crown of Shiva and who is of the form of nectar."
