3. Om Som Somaya Namah
This is known as the beej mantra of Chandra Dev. The Moon is affected during an eclipse, so it is essential to chant the mantra to increase its potency and bring positive results.

4. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
Lord Vishnu is the protector of the universe. By chanting this mantra, one may overcome different problems and remain focused; this is especially true during the confusion caused by an eclipse. It is especially beneficial for those who seek equilibrium in professional and family life; it also adds power to one’s inner strength.
5. Om Hum Hanumate Namah
This is known as the most powerful mantra dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Chanting this mantra helps calm down the restless mind and grants courage and protection, especially during the eclipse. This mantra is beneficial for people who face problems of sleeplessness or too many dreams.
