Monday has special significance in the month of Saavan, but this year the first Monday of Saavan is considered very special and auspicious in many ways. The month of Saavan dedicated to Lord Shiva is full of spiritual energy, and when Monday is added to it, it becomes the biggest occasion to fulfill the wishes of the devotees. According to religious beliefs, worshiping Mahadev properly on this day not only gives mental peace, but even the biggest obstacles in life automatically get eliminated. If you also want to get the blessings of Mahadev, then do not forget to worship with full devotion and proper rituals on the first Monday of Sawan.
Why is the first Monday of Sawan special?
According to Shiva Purana, Monday is the day of Moon and Moon is seated on the head of Lord Shiva. Fasting and worshiping on Monday in Sawan also reduces the ill effects of Chandra Dosh and Saturn’s Sadesati in the horoscope. The first Monday of Sawan is also important because it symbolizes new beginnings. The results of the rituals performed on this day are considered equivalent to the worship of the entire month. To please Mahadev, devotees observe a special fast on this day, perform Rudrabhishek and express their devotion by offering Belpatra, Dhatura and milk. This day is special not only for those observing fast but also for those who wish for success in their career and personal life.
What is the most auspicious thing to do on this day?
It is considered best to do Jalabhishek of Lord Shiva after waking up in Brahma Muhurta on the first Monday of Sawan and after taking bath. After this, go to Shiva temple and offer Panchamrit on Shivalinga and chant the mantra ‘Om Namah Shivay’ at least 108 times. To get auspicious results, do not forget to offer raw cow’s milk, honey, ghee and belpatra on Shivalinga. Apart from this, donating white items to the needy or feeding the poor is considered very auspicious on this day. Try to eat satvik food on this day and stay away from anger or negative thoughts. It is believed that the devotees who go to Mahadev with full devotion on this day, all the sorrows and troubles of their life are definitely destroyed.
