The planet moon in astrology rules the mind and all feelings. Among all planets moon moves fastest from one sign to another. And not just this, every month for two and a quarter days it remains in its sign of exaltation. When lovers meet, the moon forms the backdrop of their poetry. What more it adorns the locks of Lord Shiva because of which he is known as Chandrashekhar. The Sadhana of this very heavenly body is amazing in itself.

The sun gives light, but Moon provides inspiration. If you look at the sun without shielding your eyes you will go blind. If you look at the moon without covering your eyes you will become a poet.

The incident goes back to the time when India had won the war with Bangladesh and the whole nation was lauding the bravery of the Indian army. At that time a Colonel used to be a frequent visitor to Gurudev’s place in Jodhpur. Boasting was his habit. One day when Gurudev had just concluded Vat Saavitri worship for a group of young Sadhaks he dropped in and like always started to gossip. Among other people present there at that time was Bela Bose, a Bengali Sadhika who had just returned from Kamakhyaa (the famous Shakti seat in Assam) having successfully accomplished some very powerful Sadhanas suggested by Gurudev.

To her the colonel’s highfalutin talks seemed unethical especially when he sat before Gurudev. He was criticising astrology and praising the feat of the Indian army in a manner which irritated everyone. Suddenly Bela interrupted him and said – Colonel! No doubt safeguarding the nation is a task to be proud of and the whole nation is today showering accolades on our soldiers. But they are men while you definitely are not.

These words incensed the colonel and he uttered something angrily which I cannot recall. But Bela retained her cool and said – Don’t get excited! Just go to the toilet and see for yourself whether you are a man or not.

The sinister tone of her words made the colonel jump to his feet and rush to the adjoining toilet where he realised that his manhood had simply disappeared! On the verge of tears, he came out and started to plead and apologise. But Bela was unmoved and innocently she said – Well I have not yet fully mastered this Sadhana and hence I cannot help you.

Tears started to flow from the colonel’s eyes and Gurudev was moved by his plight. In light words he scolded Bela, who said – Fine, let him first vow never to speak against astrology. Then he can go to the toilet again.

The colonel went to the toilet and that was his last visit to Gurudham. It was years back on the occasion of Holi that Gurudev had taught Bela this Sadhana just for fun. But later when she displayed an inclination and determination to learn more, he had made her accomplish some really powerful Sadhanas at Kamakhya.

Gurudev gifted these Sadhanas to Bela after having studied the position of moon in her natal chart, which promised quick success with no future possibility of misuse of the powers thus gained. The greatest significance of the planet moon lies in the fact that it controls the five subtle and five gross senses that run human life. All these senses are controlled by the mind and the ruler of mind is moon.

The Vedas say -Chandramo Manaso Jaatah i.e. moon and the mind are the same. If we look at it spiritually then we find that the moon is so filled with divinity that it is known as the source of divine elixir. That is why another name for moon in hindi is Sudhaakar. In the hindi month of Sharad on a full moon night even today people place Kheer (sweet porridge of rice, milk and dry fruits) in the moonlight and along with it they carry out some special Sadhana, which aims at attainment of perfect health throughout the year ahead. This is also done to cure asthma.

Even Lord Shiva who is called the God of gods, whose only aim is the welfare of mankind has the moon adorning his forehead and hence is also known to his devotees as Chandrashekhar. If it is Monday on Shivratri or when the moon is placed in Taurus, then moon is said to be the most benefic. During such propitious days a Sadhak should go in for Sadhana in order to make the moon more favourable.
