Somvar Vrat Katha (Monday Shiv Katha)

The Somvar Vrat (Monday Fast) is one of the most powerful and time-honoured observances in Hindu tradition, dedicated to Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati. As per the Skanda Purana, anyone who sincerely fasts and worships Lord Shiva on Mondays—especially in the Vedic way—will have their heartfelt desires fulfilled and will never be deprived of happiness, success, or praise.

This vrat becomes exceptionally powerful during Shravan Maas, the month that is especially dear to Lord Shiva. In Shravan, the very atmosphere is charged with divine vibrations, making it the most auspicious time to undertake spiritual disciplines. During this period, Shiva is said to be easily pleased, and any prayer offered with devotion bears manifold fruits. Maa Parvati Herself performed intense tapasya in Shravan to win Shiva as her husband—making this the ideal time for devotees seeking a blessed and spiritually aligned life partner.

On each Monday, devotees chant the Panchakshari Mantra “Om Namah Shivaya” and observe fasts with devotion. The Somvar Vrat Katha—a story involving Shiva, Parvati, and a humble priest—is recited to remind us of the power of sincere bhakti (devotion) and how it transforms ordinary lives through divine grace.
