Karthigai Somavaram – Worship Shiva for Transformation
Karthigai Somavaram or Karthika Somavaram refers to the auspicious Mondays of Shiva celebrated in the Tamil month of Karthigai (mid-Nov to mid-Dec). These days are considered favorable to connect with Shiva and gain his blessings for relief from bad karma & sins and attaining transcendental bliss. According to Puranas, during this sacred month, Shiva appeared as an infinite column of fire. Chandra or Moon (also called as Soma), who rules Monday, has a special connection with Shiva. Hence, Shiva is also known as Someshwara, the one who wears a crescent Moon on his matted hair.
Karthika Somavaram Significance
According to legend, Chandra (Moon) was cursed by King Daksha, as he did not treat his 27 wives (daughters of Daksha) equally. Hence, Chandra’s powers and shine began to fade. When he was in the last waning stage, he sincerely prayed to Shiva to save him. As an answer to his prayers, Shiva relieved Chandra from the curse and placed him on his head as a crescent moon. The form of Shiva with a crescent moon adorning his head is called “Chandramouleeswarar” or “Someshwara.” It is believed that this event happened on a Monday in Karthigai month. Hence, Mondays of Karthigai month are regarded propitious to worship and receive blessings of Shiva to absolve sins and gain good health and affluence.
Karthika Somavaram Vratham
Mondays are always considered auspicious for Shiva, and Karthigai Somavaram refers to the special Mondays of the year that fall in the month of Karthigai. People worship Shiva during Karthika Somavaram with special Homas and Poojas for Shiva. Some also observe Karthika Somavaram Vratham or fasting during these Shiva Mondays and spend the day chanting mantras or reading sacred texts of Shiva. After Karthika Somavaram Vratham Poojas, people break their fasting by consuming the Pooja Prasad. Observing Karthika Somavaram Vratham and participating in special ceremonies can bring the blessings of Shiva to clear bad karma and lead a blissful life.
