Shravana Masam: Somavara Rudrabhishekam, Pujas & Homams (Mondays)

Sponsorship for ANY of the Shravana Masam Somavara (Monday) Rudrabhishekams (Abhishekam for Lord Shiva), Pujas and Homams and Bilwapatra Pujas to Sri Mahalakshmi and Lord Sriman Narayan

The Rudrabhishekam is the primary way to worship Lord Shiva. It is well-known that Lord Shiva is an abhishekapriya (lover of ablutions). In this puja, Lord Shiva is worshiped in his Rudra form on Shravana Mondays. It is hailed in all Vedic scriptures as one of the greatest pujas to remove all evils, to attain all desires, and for all around prosperity. This puja is performed for the sake of washing away one sins and afflictions. It brings peace, prosperity, happiness, and family togetherness. Performing this puja for Lord Shiva is an excellent remedy for anything not in harmony with nature (doshas), and for all-around success in all areas of life.

In the Shravan month, the Panchamukhi Shiva lingam is worshiped with water, milk, curd (yogurt), sugar, ghee, honey, flowers, and  bilwa leaves.

All of the 14,641 recitations of the Rudram would not be complete without performing Rudra Homa, a very powerful Vedic fire ceremony honoring Lord Shiva. In general, performing Rudra Homa brings blessings for good health, prevents untimely or accidental death, increases vitality, boosts spiritual energy, eliminates famine or poverty, promotes mental peace and bestows courage and power.
