This is another Gāyatrī-mantra is dedicated to the Moon. It is one of the Gāyatri mantra-s for the Moon and utilizes the same poetic metric called Gāyatrī-chandas. It honours the moon as one who is of a lotus-emblem and is glowing with a golden hue. We request this moon to enlighten and shine in our heart.

Listen to this 12 times each day during the evening time, when you can see the moon. Namaste!!!
