Notes from our sources

What is the three-day Anushthan running from Mahashivratri to Somvati Amavasya, and why does a Shivratri falling on a Saturday matter?

Any discipline started on Mahashivratri — mantra chanting, Sahasranama, Daridrya Dahana Stotram, or the Saptakshari Parvati Mantra — should continue for at least 3 days, culminating on Somvati Amavasya; a Shivratri falling on a Saturday holds immense significance for those with Saturn afflictions like Sade Sati or Marak Shani.

Composition: Daridra Dahana Stotram Shani Sade Sati Mantra: Saptakshari Mantra
