Five Effective Remedies for Lunar Affliction

To counteract lunar affliction, it is advisable to observe a fast on Jyeshtha Purnima. As this day falls on a Monday, which is dedicated to the Moon, it is beneficial to perform moon worship in the evening. Offer *Arghya*—a ritual water offering—comprising raw milk, white flowers, and unbroken rice grains (*Akshat*). Additionally, during the day, worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati for prompt results.

Begin your day with a morning bath on Jyeshtha Purnima. Following this, donate items linked to the Moon, such as milk, sugar, white flowers, white garments, *Kheer* (rice pudding), silver, pearls, and rock sugar (*Mishri*). This act is believed to help reduce lunar affliction in your astrological chart.

In astrology, the Moon symbolizes the mother. If you are experiencing lunar affliction, it is essential to serve your mother, adhere to her wishes, and seek her blessings. Consulting her on significant decisions can bring joy and stability to your life. Strengthening your Moon can also aid in addressing mental health challenges.

Chanting and Additional Remedies

After completing your worship on this Purnima, which coincides with a Monday, recite the Moon's mantras: "Om Somaya Namah" or "Om Shram Shrim Shraum Sah Chandraya Namah." It is advisable to chant these mantras using a *Spatik* (crystal) rosary. If a crystal rosary is unavailable, a Rudraksha rosary can also be used, as chanting with it helps alleviate *Chandra Dosha* (lunar affliction).

To further address *Chandra Dosha*, consider reciting the Shiva Chalisa, Rudrashtaka, or Chandra Stotra. Wearing a pearl set in a silver ring during an auspicious time can also be beneficial.
