Sawan Last Monday: The month of Sawan is considered the most special for devotion to Lord Shiva, and its last Monday is even more important. On this day, Shiva devotees throng the temples and worship Bholenath.
But do you know that some small mistakes may be heavy for you during worship? If you want Lord Shiva’s blessings to rain on you, then take special care of these things. Let us know what should be avoided in the last Monday worship of Sawan.
Do this preparation before worship
It is very important to cleanse the mind before worshiping on the last Monday of Sawan. Wake up early in the morning and take a bath and wear clean clothes. Before offering water to Lord Shiva, make sure that your mind and body are completely pure. If you worship in dirty clothes or without bathing, then Lord Shiva may be angry. In addition, prepare the worship material in advance, such as Belpatra, Dhatura, cannabis, and milk. Worshiping with incomplete material can keep Bholenath’s blessings incomplete.
Do not forget to offer these things
Take special care of the things to be mounted on the Shivling. Never offer Tulsi leaves to Lord Shiva, because it is dear to Lord Vishnu. Apart from this, offering water from Ketki flowers and conch is also prohibited. It is believed that Lord Shiva gets angry by placing these things on Shivling. Also, avoid using broken belpatra or dirty milk. Always use fresh and clean materials so that your devotion reaches Bholenath.
Properly chanting mantras
Take care while chanting mantras on this special day of Sawan. Chant the mantra “Om Namah Shivaya” with full mind and correct pronunciation. Wrong pronunciation can not only affect your worship, but also the blessings of Lord Shiva can be reduced. If you do not remember the mantra, learn in advance or consult someone knowledgeable. Maintain peace during worship and avoid mobile phones or other distractions.
Do the correct consecration of Shivling
Follow the right way while offering water or milk on the Shivling. Offer the water slowly and continuously, not pour it together. By doing this, the sanctity of Shivling persists. Also, during Abhishek, meditate on Lord Shiva in your mind and pray with a sincere heart. If you worship in a hurry or without meditation, it can be difficult to get blessings of Bholenath.
Take these special remedies in Sawan
Lord Shiva is quickly pleased by taking some special measures on the last Monday of Sawan. After worshiping, offer a bell leaf on the Shivling and chant the mantra “Om Namah Shivaya” 108 times. Apart from this, donating to the poor and helping the cleaning of the temple also makes Bholenath happy. If you do devotion with true heart on this day, then Lord Shiva can fulfill your every wish.
The last Monday of Sawan is a golden opportunity to get the grace of Lord Shiva. But if you do not take care of these small things, then your effort can be useless. So this time, while worshiping, avoid these mistakes and get blessings of Bholenath.
