चन्द्रशेखर

The one crowned with the crescent moon at the summit of his matted locks

जिनकी जटाओं के शिखर पर चंद्रमा का मुकुट है, चंद्र-शेखर

Chandrashekhar — Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar — Nobel Prize astrophysicist — 'Chandrasekhar Limit' in stellar physics — named after moon-crested deity indirectly। Chandrashekhara Temple Kanchipuram — ancient worship centre। Chandrashekhar Azad — freedom fighter — 'moon-crested' revolutionary। Moon's cooling rays — Ayurveda pitta balance — medical Chandrashekhar healing। Karwa Chauth — moon sighting ritual — Chandrashekhar moment annually。 शिव saved the waning moon from Daksha's curse — placed it on His head — refuge for the declining — शिव takes what others reject and makes it His crown — declining moon became divine ornament。

ॐChant during Purnima and Karwa Chauth. Ideal for moon-related worship. Invoke during phases of decline. Powerful during Chandrashekhara puja and waning-moon meditation.
