Chandra Chalisa
Jay jay Shri chandradev sukhakari man ke svami tum hitakari

SOm nam se jag men jane aushadhi ke tum svami mane
Kshirasindhu se prakat tum bhaye devan ke tum priy ban gaye
Shvet ashv rath par tum saje mrig sam chanchal man men raje
Sattais nakshatr tumhari daksh suta sab priy nari
Rohini priy tumhen ati pyari daksh shrap se kshay bhay bhari
Shiv ki jata bich tum saje bhal chandr shiv shish viraje
Man ko shanti tumhin se ave chandr dosh jo jan se jave
Somavar jo pujan kije man ichchhit varadan so lije
Shvet vastr shvet phul chadhave chaval khir ka bhog lagave

Jo yah path kare chalisa puran as kare jagadisha
Chandradev ki kripa jo pave so nar sakal mangal pave
Closing Doha
Chandradev chalisa, padhe sune jo koy man ki shanti sab paiye, mangal mangal hoy

Chandra Chalisa: Cool Light and the Restless Mind
The hymn’s central contrast is gentle: a deer-like restless mind is met by cool rays, white offerings, and the steady cycle of the Moon. Calm is imagined as rhythm rather than permanent stillness.
Its astrological and health language belongs to religious tradition. The translation preserves those references while avoiding promises about mental health, sleep, or outcomes.
Main Themes in the Chandra Chalisa
Waxing and waning sit beside continuity, suggesting that change need not erase the possibility of steadiness.
White colour, cool light, food, flowers, medicine, and sleep create a vocabulary of care rather than conquest.
How to Read the Chandra Chalisa
Read the twenty main units in order and notice how story, iconography, ritual, and inward calm form one short sequence.
Anyone experiencing persistent sleep or mental-health concerns should seek qualified help alongside, not instead of, spiritual practice.
