What Is Somavara (Monday) and What Is It For?
Somavara is Monday, the second day of the seven-day vara cycle, ruled by Chandra (the Moon) and named from Soma, a lunar name. In devotional practice Monday is widely kept for Shiva: many observe a Somavara vrat, and the Mondays of the month of Shravana are considered especially significant for Shiva worship. The lunar association links the day to mind, mood, and receptivity. On Sadhaka, Somavara is framed as a weekly marker for emotional steadiness and gentle practice rather than predictive timing.
Jyotish guardrail
Sadhaka presents Jyotish as a contemplative, symbolic, and practice-oriented tradition. These pages are not medical, legal, financial, or deterministic predictive advice. Use them to deepen reflection, rhythm, and sadhana.
