Monday Blessings: Embracing Lord Shiva’s Grace

🌙 Why Monday is Special for Lord Shiva:

Moon Connection (Chandra Devta):

Lord Shiva is known as Chandrashekhar, meaning “the one who holds the moon on his head”.

Monday, or Somwar, is named after Soma (Chandra), the Moon God.

Worshipping Shiva on this day is believed to pacify the mind and emotions, as the Moon governs the mind in Vedic astrology.

Spiritual Upliftment:

Monday is considered an ideal day to start the week with peace, meditation, and devotion—qualities associated with Lord Shiva.

Puranic Reference:

According to Hindu scriptures, Monday fasts (Somwar Vrat) please Lord Shiva and are believed to grant wishes, especially for marital harmony and prosperity.

Shravan Month Connection:

In the holy month of Shravan (July–August), Mondays are particularly auspicious, and devotees observe Shravan Somwar Vrat with intense devotion.

Lord Shiva as the Destroyer of Negativity:

Devotees pray on Mondays to seek protection from negative energies, sins, and karmic debts, which Lord Shiva is believed to dissolve.
