Som Pradosh Vrat: Date, Shubh Muhurat & How to Unlock Its Spiritual Power

Som Pradosh Vrat is a sacred Monday set aside to honor Lord Shiva. In 2025, devotees will mark it on June 23. This particular observance becomes even more auspicious because it falls under Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, a rare planetary alignment that many believe heightens the effect of prayer and meditation.

The Som Pradosh Vrat, a sacred observance in Sanatangyan, holds immense spiritual value in Hindu tradition. Falling on the Trayodashi tithi (13th lunar day) of Krishna Paksha (waning moon phase), this vrat is specifically dedicated to Lord Shiva and is observed with great devotion by Shiva bhakts (devotees). In 2025, Som Pradosh Vrat falls on a very special day. It happens at the same time as Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, a lucky and powerful time. This makes the day even more spiritually meaningful. Mark your calendar—this important event is on June 23.

What is Som Pradosh Vrat?

The fast is kept on Trayodashi, the thirteenth night of the waning moon. On this day devotees immerse themselves in quiet worship, offering flowers, water, and milk to the Lord. Because the tithi falls on a Monday, the day carries extra significance for Shiva followers. That’s why it’s called “Som” Pradosh—“Som” means Monday.

According to Sanatangyan traditions, the vrat holds the power to wash away sins, eliminate obstacles, and bring peace and prosperity. Devotees perform special pujas, chant mantras, and fast throughout the day in honor of the deity.

Shubh Muhurat for Som Pradosh Vrat 2025

Timing is very important for religious rituals, and the same goes for this year’s Som Pradosh Vrat. On June 23, the best time to do the puja is between 7:22 PM and 9:23 PM. This two-hour period is considered ideal for worship and seeking divine blessings.

In addition, here are other important muhurats for the day:

• Brahma Muhurat: 4:04 AM to 4:44 AM (ideal for meditation and spiritual practices)

• Abhijit Muhurat: 11:55 AM to 12:51 PM (favorable for starting new ventures)

• Nishita Muhurat: 12:03 AM to 12:44 AM (best for chanting mantras)

These windows are well-regarded in Sanatangyan astrology for maximizing spiritual impact and drawing closer to the divine.

Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga: A Rare Spiritual Bonus

A special feature this year is the Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, which happens on the same day as Som Pradosh Vrat. This powerful time starts at 3:16 PM on June 23 and ends at 5:25 AM on June 24. According to Sanatangyan belief, this period makes prayers, mantras, and rituals even more effective.

During this yoga, it is said that any wish made with pure intent is more likely to be fulfilled. It's an ideal time to set spiritual intentions, make resolutions, or seek answers from the divine.

Significance of Som Pradosh Vrat

The vrat is more than just a set of rituals. It is a way to bring positive change in your life. According to Sanatangyan scriptures and teachings, observing the Som Pradosh Vrat can do the following:

• Helps in removal of past karmic debts and sins

• Brings prosperity, mental peace, and stability

• Mitigates the effects of planetary doshas, especially related to the moon (Chandra dosha)

• Grants liberation (moksha) in the long run

According to mythology, people who worship Lord Shiva during Pradosh are believed to receive his direct blessings. Shiva is often called the remover of darkness and negativity, both in the world and within the heart. Followers see the vrat as his promise to cleanse and uplift anyone who sincerely observes it.

Mantras to Chant for Maximum Blessings

Chanting sacred phrases forms the heart of the rite. Repeated sound waves, the tradition teaches, draw the mind toward the divine and open channels of grace.

• "Om Namah Shivaya" – A simple yet deeply potent mantra for invoking Shiva’s blessings

• Mahamrityunjaya Mantra – A powerful chant for healing, protection, and liberation

Reciting these mantras during Nishita Muhurat or the main puja time is very powerful. It brings peace to the mind. It fills you with positive energy. It also helps lift your spirit and grow spiritually.
