Amma's Guidance
As we embark on this spiritual journey during Kartika Masam, here are some essential observances and practices to enhance your connection with the divine:
Early Morning Meditation: Wake up during the sacred Brahmi Muhurta time, between 3:30 AM and 4:30 AM, to tap into the cosmic energy that permeates the atmosphere. Your meditations during this time will be exceptionally powerful. Somavaram (Monday) Significance: Mondays during Kartika Masam hold immense importance for worshiping Lord Shiva. Wearing white cotton or silk attire on these days attracts the positive energy of the moon (Soma).
Chanting Mantras: Dedicate time to chanting powerful mantras such as the Shiva Panchakshari Mantra ("Om Namah Shivaya") or the Shiva-Sakti Panchakshari Mantra ("Om Hrim Namah Shivaya") either 108 or 1008 times.
Sri Mrutyunjaya Mantra: Use this auspicious time to chant the Sri Mrutyunjaya Mantra for healing and well-being. It is a potent mantra to overcome diseases and health challenges.
Silence and Fasting: Consider practicing silence, fasting, or consuming light, sattvic (pure) food during Kartika Masam for added spiritual benefits.
Siva Lingam Puja: If you have a Siva Lingam, perform puja by offering water, flowers, vibhuti, milk, yogurt, ghee, sugar, and honey while chanting mantras.
Rudra Abhishekam: If you are familiar with chanting the Rudram, participating in Rudra Abhishekam in the evenings during Kartika Masam is exceptionally powerful.
