LIVE Shiv Seva from Shri Harihareshwara Temple Every Monday – Receive Mahadev’s Ashirvad

Divine Mondays with Bhagwan Shiv: A Sacred Call to Devotion - Experience the Transformative Power of Somvar Seva

In the sacred rhythm of the week, Monday (Somvar) holds a place of deep spiritual resonance. It is the day devoted to Bhagwan Shiv, the Mahadev - the compassionate destroyer of ignorance and the ultimate source of transformation and liberation.

Worshipping Bhagwan Shiv on Mondays is believed to cleanse karmas, bestow inner peace, bring prosperity, and fulfill heartfelt desires. The Somvar vrat and seva are especially powerful in aligning the mind with divine energies, opening paths where there were none, and inviting the blessings of the Trinetra Dhari.

Join us in performing the seven sacred Sevas to Bhagwan Shiv every Monday, and experience His grace enveloping your life.

1, Rudrabhisheka – The Sacred Bath of Liberation

An ancient and potent Vedic ritual, Rudrabhisheka involves bathing the Shiva Linga with sacred items like milk, honey, curd, ghee, and water, while chanting the Sri Rudram.

Benefits:

• Removes doshas (sins) and purifies karma
• Grants health, peace, and protection from negative energies
• Awakens higher consciousness and inner clarity

2. Alankara Seva – Offering of Bhasma, Bilwapatra & Flowers

Adorning Shiv with vibhuti (bhasma) symbolizes renunciation of the ego and worldly attachments. Bilwapatra and fragrant garlands are offerings beloved to Him.

Benefits:

• Bestows spiritual growth and detachment from negativity
• Pleases Mahadev who is easily appeased by simple, heartfelt offerings
• Grants beauty of character, devotion, and divine presence in life

3. Dhoop-Deep Seva – Illuminating the Path to the Divine

Lighting incense (dhoop) and a sacred lamp (deepam) is symbolic of inner awakening and surrender. The fragrance purifies the space and mind.

Benefits:

• Drives away darkness, both physical and spiritual
• Invokes auspicious energies and sanctifies the atmosphere
• Offers protection against unseen negative influences

4. Bilwa-Pushpa Archana – The Leaf That Delights Shiva

Chanting 108 names of Shri Shiv while offering Bilwa leaves and sacred flowers invokes His countless forms and blessings.

Benefits:

• Each leaf multiplies the devotee’s punya (merit)
• Brings healing, fertility, and material-spiritual balance
• Calms planetary afflictions and doshas in the horoscope

5. Vishesha Naivedya – Divine Offering of Panch Phal, Coconut & Curd Rice

Bhagwan Shiv accepts even simple food with great joy when offered with love. This special naivedya includes five sacred fruits, coconut, and curd rice – nourishing, pure, and sattvic.

Benefits:

• Fulfills wishes and brings abundance
• Encourages humility, simplicity, and gratitude
• Purifies the food energy (anna shakti) in one's life

6. Mangala Aarti – The Blissful Invocation of Auspiciousness

The Mangala Aarti, accompanied by bells, chants, and devotion, spreads divine vibrations through the heart and the environment.

Benefits:

• Creates a protective aura
• Invokes divine grace and joy
• Energizes the space and awakens the divine within

7. Prasad Vitaran – Sharing the Divine Blessings

Distributing Shiva Prasad is the act of sharing His blessings with others. It completes the worship through daan (charity) and seva (service).

Benefits:

• Enhances punya (merit) manifold
• Spreads positive energy to the community
• Teaches compassion, equality, and divine unity
