What is Chandra Graha Shanti?
Chandra is associated in Jyotish with the mind, emotions, intuition, nourishment and one's relationship with mother. Because the Moon moves quickly and governs the mind, Chandra worship is traditionally seen as a way to seek calm, contentment and emotional balance.
The vidhi typically includes Ganesh puja, sankalp, Chandra puja on white cloth with rice, milk, white flowers and a silver or conch vessel for arghya, and jaap of the Chandra beej mantra 'Om Shraam Shreem Shraum Sah Chandraya Namah'. A full anushthan commonly involves 11,000 recitations; shorter counts are also chosen.
Lord Shiva wears the crescent moon on his head, so Chandra is traditionally worshipped alongside him, often with a milk abhishek on a Monday. In Varanasi, Shiva's own city, this pairing feels especially natural. Your Pandit will follow your family's custom.
Significance
In the Puranas, Chandra received a curse that caused him to wane, and Lord Shiva, pleased by his devotion, placed him on his head and allowed him to wax again. This story is why the Moon's phases are linked with Shiva's grace, and why Somvar (Monday) worship of Shiva and Chandra go together.
Devotees associate Chandra worship with a peaceful mind, restful sleep, emotional steadiness and warmth in family bonds. It is also commonly performed as a prayer for the well-being of one's mother.
ब्रह्मा मुरारिस्त्रिपुरान्तकारी भानुः शशी भूमिसुतो बुधश्च।
गुरुश्च शुक्रः शनिराहुकेतवः सर्वे ग्रहाः शान्तिकरा भवन्तु॥
