Chandra Ashtotharam

Chandra Ashtotharam

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Chandra  the planet moon arose from the ocean of milk when it was churned  for taking out nectar  . He is thus  a brother of Goddess Lakshmi. He was made as the Lord of the night. He is   young  , pretty , fair, has two arms  and holds a lotus   and mace in his hands.  He rides on a  chariot drawn by ten horses. He married   the 27 daughters  of Daksha Prajapathi   and kept them with him on the sky.  When the other stars complained to their father that  he was only interested in Rohini   and was neglecting them, Daksha cursed him to daily lose  fifteenth portion of himself. Before the  15th day he approached Lord Shiva  , who gave a boon to Chandra that from the 15th day he will  grow for another 15 days.  He  travels round the rasi Chakra  in 30 days   and would be with a rasi for two and one fourth  days.Normally he does not cause any harm to any one but those who are born in the waning moon period suffer due to him.He is the lord of Karkidaga Rasi  and is exalted in Rishabha rasi and feeble(neecha)  in Vruschiga rasi  . He controls the minbd , imagination , mother etc. Bad or good caused by  Chandra is of  only two and one fourth day duration. iN second house, fourth house, fifth house, eighth house, ninth house and twelfth house. For solving problems caused by him  , he can be worshipped  . The God associated with him  is Lord Shiva and by praying to Lord Shiva also he can be pleased. Planet Budha is his son through wife of planet  Guru.)
