Sawan Somvar Puja: Sacred Worship of Lord Shiva. Special Guidance by World Book of Records Honoree Astrologer Dr. Kailash Prasad Shah
According to renowned astrologer and spiritual guide Dr. Kailash Prasad Shah, the month of Sawan (Shravan) is the holiest and most auspicious period in the Hindu calendar to worship Lord Shiva. This divine month is charged with spiritual energy, offering a unique opportunity for cleansing past karma, fulfilling desires, attaining peace, and evolving spiritually.
Worshipping Lord Shiva with proper rituals, devotion, and discipline during Sawan Somvar (Mondays of Sawan) brings immense blessings.
Special Notice:
The first Monday of Sawan begins.
As per Dr. Shah's divine insights, those who worship Lord Shiva on the first Sawan Somvar with faith and proper method can experience dramatic positive transformation in their lives—health, success, happiness, and divine protection.
What to Do on the First Monday of Sawan:
Wake up during Brahma Muhurta (early morning before sunrise), take a bath, and wear clean, preferably white clothes.
Perform Abhishek (ritual bathing) on the Shivling using:
Ganga Jal
Milk
Curd
Ghee
Honey
Sugar
Offer Belpatra (Bilva leaves) while chanting:
“Tridalam Trigunakaram Trinetram Cha Trayayudham
Trijanma Papasamyuktam Bilvapatram Shivarpanam”
(त्रिदलं त्रिगुणाकारं त्रिनेत्रं च त्रयायुधम्।
त्रिजन्म पापसंहारं बिल्वपत्रं शिवर्पणम्॥)
Chant "Om Namah Shivaya" 108 times using a Rudraksha mala.
Recite Shiva Chalisa, Rudrashtak, or Mahamrityunjaya Mantra.
Observe a fast, consuming only fruits and water, and break it after sunset.
Donate food, clothes, or money to cows, Brahmins, or the poor.
The Sacred Significance of Belpatra:
Belpatra is one of Lord Shiva's most loved offerings.
It should be fresh, green, undamaged, and three-leafed (Tripatra).
Offering Belpatra removes sins related to body, speech, and mind.
Even one sincere offering brings virtue equivalent to 100 years of devotion.
Why Sawan is Celebrated:
Samudra Manthan (Ocean Churning): During this time, Shiva drank the poison (halahala) to save creation, making Sawan a time of gratitude and purification.
Parvati's Penance: Unmarried women fast for a spiritual life partner; married women seek peace and harmony in married life.
