Soma the Deity of the Mind

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Dear Swamiji and devotees, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.

In Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura’s Sarartha Darsini on the Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 10, chapter 1, Text 1, he writes about soma the moon god and why soma is mentioned first before surya because Krishna appeared in the soma vamsa. He also writes there that ‘soma is the deity of the mind’.

My question is: how do we picture soma as ‘the deity of the mind?’

Your servant,

Hadai Nityananda dasa

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
