The puranic scripts of “Purushottam Praptiyagam” describe Chandra as Lord Vishnu as an invisible architect who had evolved solutions for all ills of the society.The Saint exponent Geeta Charya says “Nakshatrana Aham Shashi”(I am a spot on the moon) indicating the presence of moon as an integral part of the celestial system.
