Today (12 August) is the third Monday of Sawan. Although there is importance of worshiping Shiva every day throughout the month of Sawan, but worshiping Shiva done on the Monday of Sawan is believed to give auspicious results very quickly. This time due to Vishakha Nakshatra on Monday, an auspicious yoga called Mitra is formed. In this yoga religious activities and charity must be performed.
According to Ujjain Astrologer Manish Sharma, Lord Shiva is especially fond of Mondays during the months of Sawan and War. Goddess Parvati did penance in Sawan to get Lord Shiva. Som is also the name of the moon that sits on Lord Shiva’s head. In astrology, the planet Moon is considered the causal planet of Monday. For this reason, Lord Shiva is very fond of Moon and Moon attack on Monday. In mythological beliefs, Monday is considered a form of Lord Shiva. There is also a tradition of observing fasting on the Monday of Sawan.
You can worship Shiva even after sunset
- Those who are unable to perform Shiva puja in the morning can also perform Shiva puja after sunset.
- Special Abhishek of Lord Shiva should be done on Sawan Monday. It takes a lot of time to perform Abhishek, if you don’t have much time then you can also worship Shiva by offering water and Bilva leaves on Shivling. It will be very auspicious if you use sandalwood paste on Shivling.
- Milk and Ganga water should be offered to Shivalinga. While offering water and milk, chant the mantra Om Namah Shivay.
- During Shiva puja, keep Bilva Patra, Dhatura, Shami leaves, Janeu, Abeer, Gulal, honey, Bhasma, Ashta Gandh, Datika flowers, Durva and sweets made of milk.
- Begin Shiva Puja with the first worship of Lord Ganesha. Along with Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, Karthikeya Swami, Nandi and Nag Dev should also be worshipped.
