Seeing Angel Numbers 111, 108, or 808 on Sawan Somvar? Here’s What Mahadev Is Telling You |

Sawan Somvar is not just a day of fasting and offering water to Lord Shiva. It is a sacred time when the doors of divine blessings open wider for those who are willing to walk the path of bhakti and inner reflection. During this auspicious month, the universe becomes more sensitive to our thoughts, emotions, and karmas. Many devotees begin to notice certain signs from the universe—a sudden appearance of repeating numbers (Angel Numbers) like 111, 108, or 808. These are not coincidences. These are sanket, divine indications from Mahadev himself. In our ancient tradition, numbers have always held spiritual importance. Be it the 108 beads of a japmala or the 11 Rudras mentioned in the Puranas, every number carries the energy of a tattva (element) or a deeper truth. When these numbers appear again and again during Sawan, especially on Somvar (Monday), it is Lord Shiva’s way of whispering guidance into your life. Let us understand the meaning of these sacred numbers from the viewpoint of Shiva Tatva and how to respond to them with devotion and simplicity.

111: A Call Towards Inner Awakening

If you keep seeing 111 on Sawan Somvar—whether on the clock, a bill, or a vehicle number—pause and take it as a direct nivedan from Lord Shiva. This number carries the energy of beginnings. In Shiv Tatva, 111 represents the one-pointed focus needed to rise above maya (illusion) and step into inner dhyan (concentration). Mahadev is saying, “Now is the time to align your thoughts. Do not let the mind wander in doubt, fear or distraction.” In many yogic paths, the first step towards Shiva is the stillness of the mind. 111 is a reminder to slow down your racing thoughts. You are being guided to purify your sankalp (intention). In this Sawan, each thought you offer to Lord Shiva is like a flower. Make it fragrant with truth and simplicity. What You Can Do When You See 111:

This number asks you to bring your wandering energy into oneness. Let your breath become your mala, and your mind your temple.

There is no number more sacred in Sanatan Dharma than 108. Our japmalas have 108 beads, symbolising the journey of the soul through worldly attachments towards moksha. When you see 108 repeatedly during Sawan Somvar, take it as Mahadev’s gentle push to begin or deepen your spiritual practice. 108 is not just a number—it is a full circle. It represents the union of Atma (individual soul) with Paramatma (Supreme Soul). Lord Shiva, the Adiyogi, is reminding you that your life is part of a larger rhythm, and by offering your ego into that divine rhythm, you find peace. During Sawan, this number becomes even more powerful. It tells you to bow your head and surrender your doership. Stop trying to control every result. Surrender to Shiva’s will. What You Can Do When You See 108:

108 asks us to dissolve our ahankar (ego) and walk the path of bhakti with a full heart. During Sawan, even the smallest act of devotion multiplies manifold.

808 is not often mentioned in ancient texts, but its spiritual resonance cannot be ignored, especially when it appears frequently during holy periods like Sawan. This number carries a message of balance. The number 8 appears twice, and zero sits in the middle. In the eyes of a Shiv Bhakt, 8 represents karmic cycles and strength, while 0 represents shoonya—the void, the state of Shiva himself. Seeing 808 means Mahadev is asking you to balance your worldly responsibilities with your inner spiritual journey. Don’t get too lost in the outside world, and don’t neglect your worldly duties in the name of sadhana either. Like Nandi, who stands still yet alert, be grounded and inward at once. This number often appears to those who are walking the grihastha path (householder’s life) and are struggling to maintain inner peace amidst outer noise. It is a blessing in disguise, a reminder that Mahadev walks with you in your kitchen, office, and mandir alike. What You Can Do When You See 808:

Mahadev lives not just in Kailash, but in your karmabhoomi (field of action). 808 is a number that teaches divine balance.

How to Receive These Messages with Bhakti

Many devotees ask, “Are these just numbers, or truly divine signs?” The answer lies in your bhaav (intention). If your heart is filled with surrender and simplicity, then yes, these numbers become Mahadev’s sanket to you. During Sawan, the veil between this world and the divine realm becomes thinner. Every Monday, the earth is filled with Shiva tattva. If your eyes and heart are open, you will notice these signs not as coincidences, but as blessings. Here are a few simple ways to become more receptive:

Shiva speaks to those who are quiet enough to listen. These numbers are his way of holding your hand, saying, “I am with you. Keep walking.” Whether it is 111, 108, or 808, each number that appears during Sawan Somvar is dipped in divine grace. They are like the footprints of Shiva leading you home. Do not ignore them. Welcome them with folded hands. Let them become your daily dhyan. This Sawan, let your eyes not only see these numbers but feel them. Let your mind not only decode their meaning, but also bow to the truth behind them. In the world of Mahadev, even a whisper becomes a mantra, and even a number becomes a teaching.
