Monday is the day of the moon planet and the controller of the moon is Lord Shiva. Therefore, worshiping on this day not only gives the blessings of the moon but also Lord Shiva. Any person who has health problems, marriage difficulties or poverty prevails. If one worships Lord Shiva on every Monday of Sawan lawfully, then one gets freedom from all the problems.
