Powertime: Karma-Clearing Shiva Mondays
Mondays, November 19, 26 & December 3, 10 PST UTC IST
Shiva, the Ultimate Archetype of Karma Removal, is said to have taken on his form as the infinite fire during the Tamil month of Karthigai. Karthigai runs from mid-November to mid-December.
Shiva rules Mondays. He has a special relationship with them because of his special relationship with the Moon. It is believed that Mondays during Karthigai are highly auspicious for invoking Shiva to dissolve your karma and bless you with good health and prosperity. They are also believed to be good days to connect with Shiva’s consciousness of infinite bliss.
These special Shiva Mondays are known as Karthigai Somavaram. Mondays are ruled by Shiva, so he has a special relationship with them. Furthermore, Karthigai is a major month for Shiva.
MANTRA & AT-HOME PRACTICE:
Use the Thiru Neela Kantam mantra to remove karma. It’s pronounced TEE-roo NEE-lah KAHN-tahm. Don’t just chant it every once in a while. Slip it into your day during any “downtime” so it creates a powerful momentum that cleanses your karma. Use the mantra any time you’re not busy with something you can’t do simultaneously. If you have a specific problem in mind, you can set the intent to cleanse the karmic thought patterns behind it.
Do the Namah Shivaya Meditation. Dr. Pillai says, “You will have a world of benefits come to you. It will burn your karma, your Maya, and your ego.”
Instructions:
- Close your eyes. Chant each syllable for a few seconds while focusing on each of the chakras.
- At the bottom of the spine– NAAAAH.
- Move to the navel – MAAAAH.
- Move to the heart – SHEEEE.
- Move to the throat, the mouth– VAAAAAH.
- Move to the two eyes, and then the Third Eye and the brain– YAAAAAH.
That’s less than a minute.
