MEANING : I become the moon and supply 'Juice of Life' to plant lives ..
The moon supplies 'Juice of Life' to vegetation .. The trees , plants , creepers etc . get their Jeeva Sattva (this has no equivalent word in English language .. ) something , essential to Life from the moon .. Especially , the medicinal plants , the herbs get their medicinal power from the moon .. Hindu texts mention moon as a source of 'Nectar' which improves quality of physical and emotional life .. On the full moon night of lunar month Ashwin , the moon rays are supposed to be emitting Nectar .. There is a festival celebrated throughout the length and breadth of Bharat , on that particular night .. Hindus boil and drink milk in the open under moonlight .. This is believed to increase vitalities of life .. Ayurveda also talks about effect of moon on mental or emotional health .. OK .. Modern science may not be agreeable to these beliefs on date .. Science today is mostly in the hands of business houses which sponsor researches .. Researches are conducted with instruments and reports presented as scientific truths .. These change with time .. I would say , 'science has not matured to the level of our texts .. It'll agree in due course' ..
