The Chandra beej mantra honours the Moon — lord of the mind (manas), emotions, mother, and nourishment. Chandra rules Cancer, the northwest, and Monday in the planetary week.
Afflicted Moon causes mood instability, anxiety, and relationship turbulence. Monday japa with this mantra is the classical remedy, especially during Chandra mahadasha or when the Moon is debilitated in Scorpio.
ॐ श्रां श्रीं श्रौं सः चन्द्राय नमः
Om Shram Shrim Shraum Sah Chandraya Namah
Om — through Chandra's seed syllables, salutations to the Moon god, who cools the mind and grants emotional peace.

Common questions
Does Chandra mantra help with sleep?
Many devotees chant before sleep for a calm mind. Consistent Monday japa is the traditional approach for manas-shanti (mental peace).
Is pearl recommended with Chandra japa?
Pearl (moti) is Chandra's gemstone in Jyotish, but wear only after chart consultation. Japa alone is a safe universal remedy.
