108 SANGABHISHEKAM for Lord Sri Chandramouleeswarar(Shiva)
Monday 12th December 2022
Lord Shiva’s transformative energy to absolve sins, rejuvenate mind and body, and enjoy a prosperous life is abundantly available during the Tamil month of Karthigai (mid–November to mid–December). According to the scriptures, during this sacred month, Shiva revealed himself as infinite fire. Planet Moon (known as Soma in Sanskrit), who rules Monday, has a special connection with Shiva, also known as Someshwara (the one who wears the crescent Moon on his matted hair). Mondays are always very auspicious for Shiva, and Karthigai Somavaram refers to the four most special Mondays of the year that fall in the month of Karthigai.
