चन्द्रमौलि

The one crowned with the crescent moon upon his head

चंद्रमा को मुकुट (शिरोभूषण) बनाने वाले, चंद्र-मौलि

Chandramauli — शिव iconography's signature feature — crescent moon on matted locks। Moon's cooling rays — Ayurveda में pitta dosha balance। Chandra Namaskar — moon salutation — cooling counterpart to Surya Namaskar। Moonstone gemstone — चंद्रमणि — associated with Shiva — calming properties। Full moon (Purnima) — tides highest, emotions strongest — lunar influence। Chandrashekhara Temple Kanchipuram — ancient Chandramauli worship centre। Indian calendar — lunar-based (Panchang) — moon governs time-keeping। शिव ने waning moon को rescue किया — decline से बचाया — hope for those in declining phase of life।

ॐChant on Purnima and during moonlit meditation. Ideal during Chandra Namaskar. Invoke for cooling anger and anxiety. Powerful during Chandrashekhara puja and moon-phase rituals.
