Mahatmya (Significance)
Original
सोमवार की अमावस्या, शिव कृपा का द्वार, पापों का नाश करे, सुखों का भंडार। चंद्र देव की शक्ति मिले, शिव का मिले आशीष, भक्तों के संकट मिटें, मिटे सकल भीष्म।
Transliteration
Somvar ki Amavasya, Shiva kripa ka dwar, Paapon ka naash kare, sukhon ka bhandar. Chandra dev ki shakti mile, Shiva ka mile aashish, Bhakton ke sankat mitein, mite sakal bheeshma.
Meaning / Translation
The Amavasya that falls on a Monday is the gateway to Lord Shiva's grace; it destroys sins and provides a treasure of happiness. One receives the power of the Moon and the blessings of Shiva, removing all troubles and fears from the devotees.
Vrat Vidhi (Ritual Procedure)
Original
ब्रह्म मुहूर्त में उठकर, पवित्र स्नान कर लें, शिवलिंग के सम्मुख बैठ, मन को शांत कर लें। गंगाजल और दूध से, महादेव का अभिषेक, बेलपत्र और धतूरा चढ़ाकर, करें उनका अभिषेक।

Brahm muhurta mein uthkar, pavitra snaan kar lein, Shivling ke sammukh baith, man ko shaant kar lein. Gangajal aur doodh se, Mahadev ka abhishek, Belpatra aur dhatura chadhaakar, karein unka abhishek.

Rise during the Brahma Muhurta and take a holy bath. Sit before the Shivling and calm your mind. Perform the abhishekam (ritual bathing) of Mahadev with Ganges water and milk, and offer Bel leaves and Datura flowers.
