Archetype Shiva’s energy is abundantly available during the Tamil month of Karthigai. According to the scriptures, in this month Lord Shiva showed himself in the form of infinite fire. The planet Moon (known as Soma in Sanskrit) who rules Monday has a special connection with Shiva, who is also known as Someshwara (the one who wears the crescent Moon on his matted hair).
Mondays are always very auspicious for Lord Shiva, and Karthigai Somavaram refers to four special Mondays that fall in the month of Karthigai. The Full moon in the month of Karthigai is celebrated as “Karthigai Deepam”, which is particularly special as it coincides on the last Somavaram (Monday of Karthigai month) this year.
The sacred Puranas narrate how planet Moon was cursed by King Daksha to wane as he did not treat his daughters and his 27 wives equally. As his form and light started to wane, the Moon went into meditation to call upon the blessings of Lord Shiva.
When the Moon was almost fully waning, Lord Shiva, pleased with his meditation, reduced the curse by placing him on his head in the form of the crescent moon. According to the scriptures, it is during Karthigai Somavaram he blessed the Moon with good health and prosperity.
The Deepam (Lamp) symbolizes the victory of Light over Darkness. The scriptures narrate the beginning of Deepam festival when Lord Shiva on a full Moon day in the month of Karthigai destroyed the dark forces through his laughter and his Divine fire, and established Divine light in the world.
It became a practice in every household to honor Shiva’s deeds and receive his special light of re-creation during the entire month by lighting lamps.
Deepam is celebrated when the Full Moon aligns with the Krittika Nakshatra, the birth star associated with Lord Muruga, the warrior archetype who fights for light.
During the full Moon, ‘Maha Deepam’ (a huge lamp) is lit every year on top of the mountain Tiruvannamalai, Lord Shiva in the form of fire, to honor the health and wealth blessings of Lord Shiva given for humanity. It is a great opportunity for you to receive the light of Shiva and warrior power of Muruga on the Deepam day.
AstroVed has created a combination of services for Karthigai Somavaram and Deepam to invoke health and wealth blessings as they descend on this earth plane during this power time for Lord Shiva.
