Must Perform Monday Rituals for NRIs: Simple & Powerful Lord Shiva Worship from Abroad
Living far away as an NRI doesn’t mean you have to miss the blessings of Somvar – the sacred Monday dedicated to Lord Shiva. Mahadev is “Bholenath” – He is pleased with the smallest offering made with love, no matter if you are in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, UAE, Singapore, Germany, or any corner of the world.
Monday rituals are especially powerful for NRIs because Lord Shiva removes stress, health issues, marriage delays, financial blocks, and mental anxiety that often trouble life abroad.
Here is a practical, time-saving, and highly effective Monday routine that every NRI must follow.
Why Monday Worship is a Must for NRIs
- Shiva is Ashutosh – pleased instantly
- Removes Monday blues, depression, and loneliness common among NRIs
- Destroys marriage obstacles and delays in settling abroad
- Protects from sudden health and legal problems in foreign countries
7 Simple Monday Rituals for NRIs (Perfect for Busy Schedules)
- Wake Up & Chant “Om Namah Shivaya” 108 Times Use a mala or phone counter app while having morning coffee or tea. Takes only 5–7 minutes. This single mantra alone gives the fruit of a full Rudrabhishek.
- Offer Water (Jal) Mentally or Physically Traditional: Offering Bel patra and water on Shivling. NRI method:
- Keep a small Shivling or Sphatik Shivling at home. Offer a glass of clean water every Monday morning while chanting “Om Namah Shivaya”.
- No Shivling? Just fill a small copper/silver tumbler with water, add a drop of milk, and offer mentally to Lord Shiva while looking at His photo.
- Monday Fast – Super Easy NRI Version Full water/milk fast is ideal, but not practical for office days. NRI-friendly fasting rules:
- One meal only (dinner – fruits, milk, potatoes, sabudana, peanuts)
- Avoid grains, salt, and non-veg completely
- At least avoid wheat/roti and non-veg on Monday Even partial fasting done with devotion gives complete results.
- Listen or Chant Shiva Tandava Stotram or Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra Play these while commuting or cooking:
- Shiva Tandava Stotram (powerful 6-minute version)
- Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra 108 times (11–15 minutes) Just listening with attention is equal to chanting.
- Light a Ghee Diya in the Evening After work, light one ghee diya in front of Lord Shiva’s photo or Shivling. Add one Bel patra (available in Indian stores) or even a green leaf if Bel patra is not there. Pray: “Hey Nilkanth, give me peace of mind and success abroad.”
- Offer Virtual Bilva Patra or Rudrabhishek at Famous Temples Many NRIs book online/virtual abhishek every Monday at:
- Mahakaleshwar Ujjain
- Somnath Gujarat
- Trimbakeshwar Nashik
- Kashi Vishwanath Varanasi Pandits perform on your behalf and send prasad home to India or abroad. Very affordable (₹511–₹2100).
- End the Day with “Om Tryambakam” Mantra Before Sleeping Chant or listen to Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra 11 times. It creates a protective shield around you and your family.

Lord Shiva lives in the heart. He doesn’t care about grand temples or expensive items – a single drop of water offered with love from New York or London reaches Kailash faster than a rocket.
