The Moon

Lunar libration


Lunar libration


The moon has got great significant in indian culture. The indian calender in based on phases of the moon.

Apart from culture, the moon has been a significant part of fairy tales for children. Children call it 'mama' which means mother's brother in hindi.

This nomenclature in because of a hindu story of deity YAMA & sister YAMUNA the sacred river. Where YAMUNA used to watch the moon to remember her brother YAMA when he is away.

Try watching the moon on a full moon might along with stars. You will feel as if it is a close pal to you.

When you feel sad, go & talk to the moon & you will see that he silently responds to you words. He shares your grief like on one closer to you can.

Go make a new friend tonight.
