We also do Udaka shanti pooja.
Shravan Somwar Vrat Vidhi for Lord Shiva
Shravan Somwar Vrat or Monday fast begins with the worshipper waking up early morning. After taking a holy bath and individuals observing fast should wear white colour. It is highly beneficial if the person can visit Lord Shiva temple in the morning and the evening while keeping Somvar Vrat. In case, visiting the temple is not possible, offer prayers to Mahadev at home.(Udaka shanti pooja)
Begin the puja with Abhishekam, meaning ‘to have bath’. It could be as simple as Jal Abhishek, which is pouring water on the Shiva lingam or Shivling. When Abhishekam is offered to Lord Shiva, it is called Rudra Abhishek. Doing Panchamrut or Panchamrit or Charnamrit Abhishek is also an excellent way to please Mahadeva. Panchamrut is prepared by mixing – Milk, Curd, Ghee (clarified butter), Honey and Sugar. The devotees can put a tilak of sandalwood paste on the Shivalingam and avoid using kumkum tilak (vermillion) for the shivling.
When pouring milk on the shivling as an offering, do make sure that it is not pasteurized or packet milk. Please make sure always to use ice cold milk. Also never offer coconut water to the Shiva Lingam. One may instead offer coconuts as Prasadam or prasad. White flowers are to be offered to Lord Shiva and on Shivaling but do not place champa (Plumeria) and kewda flower as they are said to be cursed by Lord Shiva. Tulsi patta (Basil leaves) must never be placed on Shiva Lingam. Bael leaves, or Bila Patra are believed to be Mahadeva’s favourite, hence always offer it.
In the evening a story related to Somavar Vrat is listened to or read by those observing the fast. There are many stories or Somvar Vrat Katha such as the story of a poor Brahmin gaining wealth due to Somvar Vrat. The second story is of a wealthy merchant begetting a son after long wait, and the subsequent death of the son and his rebirth due to the grace of Lord Shiva and Parvati due to Monday fasting. The third story and the most popular legend involves the game of dice played between Lord Shiva and Parvati.
Five is the sacred number of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva’s body consists of five mantras which are called ‘Panchabramans’. These are – Sadyojata, Vamadeva, Aghora, Tatpurusa and Isana. Devotees should chant Lord Shiva mantras such as – “Om Namah Shivaya”, “Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushti-Vardhanam, Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityormukshiya Mamritat॥“, ”Om Tatpurushaya Vidmahe Mahadevaya Dhimahi, Tanno Rudrah Prachodayat॥“, “Om Namo Bhagwate Rudraay”.
Those observing Shravan Somwar Vrat can consume a single meal on the day after midday. Those observing partial Monday fast take fruits or Sabudana Khichadi. It is believed that the devotees should never consume what they have offered to the shivling as it brings bad omen, which may lead to loss of health and wealth.

Sawan Shivaratri 2017 Puja Muhurat
There are 12 Shivaratris in a year. While Maha Shivaratri is the most significant and popular one for the Shiv Bhakts, Sawan Shivaratri which falls during Shravan month considering the month is dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is also believed to be quite important. Swan Shivaratri 2017 date falls on July 21 (Friday). Sawan Shivaratri Puja Muhurat – Nishita Kaal Puja Time = 24:06+ to 24:48+ with duration of 41 minutes. On 22nd, Sawan Shivaratri Parana Time is 05:41 to 15:50. Worshippers will show their relentless devotion towards Lord Shiva by worshipping Shiva Linga with Bael Patra (leaves) flowers, holy water and milk, i.e. Falam-Toyam, Pushpam-Patram.
Significance of Lord Shiva in Shravan Month
We also do Udaka shanti pooja – Lord Shiva is considered to be the ruler of Shravan Month because Mahadev saved the universe by drinking poison which emerged from the Samudra Manthan i.e. churning of the milky ocean. Samudra Manthan, one of the notable events in the Hindu Mythology saw Devtas (Gods), and Asuras (Demons) began churning of the Ocean of Milk for Amrit (Elixir or the heavenly nectar of immortality). 14 ratnas (gems) were produced from the ocean which was equally divided between the two competing sides. But the 14th gem was the poison which could have destroyed the entire universe and all living beings. Lord Shiva consumed the poison to save everyone and such was the impact of it that his neck turned blue and thus he is called Neelkanth. This iconic episode of Samudra Manthan took place during the Shravan Month, making it the month of Lord Shiva.

Happy Sawan Shivratri 2017: The Significance of The Vrat and Foods You Can Have While Fasting
Rudra abhishek pooja – Devotees of Lord Shiva across the country are gearing up to celebrate Sawan Shivaratri on 21st July, 2017. According to the Hindu calendar, there are twelve Shivratris that are celebrated by Hindus every year. The Shivaratri that falls during the Shravana month is known as Sawan Shivaratri while the Shivaratri that falls in the month of February or March which corresponds to the Phalguna month is called the Mahashivratri. Mahashivratri and the Sawan Shivratri are considered to be the most significant festivals for those who follow Lord Shiva.
The entire Shravana month is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devotees observe a fast on every Monday of each week in the Shravana month which is also known as ‘Shravan Somvar’. They worship the Shiva linga and also organise a special Maha Rudrabhishek Puja during this month. Sawan Shivratri marks the union of Shakti and Lord Shiva -the two great forces in the universe. Devotees observe fasts and perform pujas to attain stability and happiness in their lives and ward off evil energies. The festival also holds special significance for women, some of whom observe fasts in a hope to get a husband like Lord Shiva.Rudra abhishek pooja
Ancient Shiva temples like the Kashi Vishwanath and Badrinath arrange special pujas and Shiva Darshan during this month. A large number of Shiva devotees visit Shiva shrines during this pious month and perform Gangajal Abhishek over the Shivalinga early in the morning as a sacred ritual.
Significance of Fasting During Sawan Shivratri
(Udaka shanti pooja)Devotees observe fasts through the month on every Monday when they clean their temples and decorate Lord Shiva’s idol with fresh flowers. Devotees who observe the month-long fasts should have one last meal on Trayodashi, a day before Shivratri, and on the day of Shivratri, after finishing morning rituals, they should fast for the whole day and break the fast the next morning. On the Shivratri day, devotees bathe in the evening before performing Shiva Puja or visiting the temple. Shiv Puja is performed at night with much fervor and enthusiasm till the wee hours of the next day when the fast can be broken.
While observing the fast, devotees are allowed to eat certain foods like fresh fruits, milk and water but they should avoid cereals and grains. Chef Sudhir Nair from Mariott Bengaluru tells us, “You can enjoy delicacies made of potato yam like the Suran ki Sabzi, amaranthgrain, tapioca (sabudana), barnyard millet, singhara (water chestnuts) along with nuts and dry fruits.”
Sabudaana Khichdi and Kuttu-Singahri ki Puri are some popular dishes consumed by devotees during these fasts. You can also try making a sweet thandai with milk and dry fruits. For snacks, try aloo tikki, raw banana vadas, pakodas made with singhara flour or a plain sweet potato chaat with lime but without spices.Udaka shanti pooja
According to Hindu scriptures, devotees should break their fast between sunrise and before the end of Chaturdashi Tithi . Some devotees may break their fast only when the Chaturdashi Tithi gets over. This year, the Chaturdashi Tithi begins at 9:49 P.M. on 21st July 2017and ends on 6:27 P.M. on 22nd July 2017. The timing for the Nishith Kaal Puja is scheduled between 12:06 A.M. to 12: 48 A.M.
