Karthigai Somavaram 2022: The Most Powerful Karma-Removing Shiva Mondays

Karthigai Somavaram Benefit: Shiva Resolves Afflictions & Bestows Health and Prosperity

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). As per the Puranas, the Moon was cursed by King Daksha to wane as he did not treat his 27 wives (Daksha’s daughters) equally. So, as his form and light started to wane, the Moon went into meditation, calling upon the blessings of Shiva.

When the Moon was in the last stage of waning, 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, during Karthigai Somavaram, Shiva reduced the curse of the Moon and blessed him. Likewise, propitiating Shiva on Karthigai Mondays can absolve your sins and bestow you with good health and affluence.
