This paper is to draw attention to a geodesic equation on space of Sasakian metrics. The equation is connected to some interesting geometric properties of Sasakian manifolds. It can be viewed as a parallel case of a well-known geodesic equation for the space of Kähler metrics introduced in [11, 15, 5]. Let us first recall the definition of the space of Kähler metrics. For a given compact Kähler manifold (M, g) with Kähler metric g. Let HK = {φ ∈ C(M)|(gij̄ + φij̄) > 0} be the space of all Kähler metrics in cohomology class of g. Mabuchi [11] introduced a natural Riemannian structure on HK . A formal calculation in [11] yields that HK is a non-positive curved symmetric space of non-compact type. Semmes [15] studied the geodesic equation on the Kähler space HK relating it to a Dirichlet problem of the homogenous complex Monge-Ampere equation
