In Hinduism, each day of the week is dedicated to a specific deity, with Monday reserved for Lord Shiva, known for his tranquility and destruction of evil. Astrologers highly recommend worshipping Shiva on Mondays to maximize blessings, especially for those dealing with the Kala Sarpa Dosha—a significant astrological condition believed to impact life's fortunes negatively.
For those afflicted, a special ritual involving a holy bath (abhishekam) for Shiva using 'panchamrit'—a sacred mixture of milk, yogurt, honey, sugar, and ghee—is advised. This is followed by offerings of white flowers and the wearing of white clothes to invoke peace and purity. The ritual promises not only to alleviate the dosha but also to bring prosperity and eliminate life's obstacles.
The use of bhasma (holy ash) and bilva leaves during worship is believed to bring special benefits, including the appeasement of negative planetary influences. Conducting these rituals with devotion on Mondays can lead to profound spiritual and material gains, mitigating the adverse effects attributed to past and present life karmas.
