The Moon Effect
Well I came to know certain thing about moon and its effect over mind.
Most of the people would have heard word of mouth info’s something like "During
full moon and new moon days the lunatics behave weird and they will be
uncontrollable" I was thinking that may be something mystic to do with ghost and
spirit stuff, but few months before i came across some facts and found that the
Moon has certain effect on human body. How?.
We all know that moon has a gravitational pull and compared earth it is less, that is
why during full moon days and new moon days the tides are violent in the sea
shores. Why water? its because of its liquid property the gravitational force is
visible but actually it has effect on all the matter. why only on full moon and new
moon days?. The Moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical orbit so the moon
comes closer to the earth in orbit every 15 days approximately. When the moon is
between the sun and earth is also closer to the earth along the orbit, it is new moon
What happens because of this? The moon pulls the particles in earth. The
easiest on to pull is water/fluid so it pulls it up. That is why the tides are violent!
Now imagine our earth water content. The exact percentage of water (on Earth) is
71.11%, and the exact percentage of land (on Earth) is 28.89%. is making water to
go violent if this is the case with earth what about our human body, which is made
up of 65% water. so there is an obvious effect of moon's gravitational pull over
human body. Actually our whole body has effect but we realize only in our mind,
its because our body's effect affects the mind. Our human brain becomes
completely restless and will be hyper active since we are normal being we think that
we are excited because of some incidents happened recently but we forget that we
are the one who make the incidents to happen because of the hyper activeness. That
is why the word "Lunatic" comes from "Lunar" Since it is restless all the talents and
creativity comes out in many forms. But you have to see carefully that it has equally
negative effects also one can get hurt so easily during this time, I even monitored
some news channels and found that during these days the crime rate is
comparatively high. The mind becomes so sensitive to both good and bad , so its
better to always stay in good things so our full moon day goes productive and
positive.
 Moon not only controls our mind but it controls the whole earth to run
stable, Science says that life in earth is because of the moon. We have always seen
that in the medieval age or earlier people were honest, kind, without jealous ,
without corruption, all these effects are because of the moon.
The Moon was earlier closer to earth and gravity of the moon was strong, and was
controlling the mind of people to be calm and peaceful. That is why in the ancient
culture such are Egyptian, Greek, Indian we see significant respect for the moon.
Every time as the time moves the Moon is moving away from the earth, and also the
rotation time changes causing a drastic change in climate, mind, and the entire
environment.

In the Yoga there is a worship of Moon called "Chandra Namskar" means

Moon worship.
