Importance of Sawan Month 2022

Shravan Definition

The Shravan month is one of the holiest months in the Hindu calendar, ranking with all other months. According to the Hindu calendar, this is the fifth month. But have you ever wondered 

why it was given the name Shravan? Its name is taken from the Shravan Nakshatra, which is thought to rule the sky on Poornima, or full-moon day. Devotees offer Shiva linga Patram-pushpam and phalam-toyam throughout this month.

Shravan is known for its festivals and festivities. Because most of this month’s days favour shubh aarambh, now is the ideal time to hold any auspicious activities (the new beginnings).

Every Monday during this month is observed as Shravan somvar in all of the temples, with Dharanatra placed over the Shivling to bathe it in holy water and milk all day and all night. Let’s learn about the key Mondays and the dates and hours of Shravan!

Lord Shiva’s Importance In Shravan Somvar

According to Hindu mythology, poison sprang from the water during the battle between the Devas and the Asuras. To save the human race, Lord Shiva consumed the entire poison. This incident happened in the month of Shravan. Lord Shiva’s body temperature soared as a result. Following the Hindu gods’ custom of pouring Gangajal on Lord Shiva, which is still practised by followers today, Lord Shiva put the moon on his head, which helped to cool his fever.

Additionally, it is stated that Lord Indra caused an excessive amount of rain because he wanted Lord Shiva’s temperature to decrease. That calmed and relaxed Lord Shiva. Since then, Lord Shiva has been honoured, and during the month of Sawan, particularly on Mondays, water is poured over him.

Benefits Of Shiva Puja Throughout The Shravan Month

Worshipping the powerful Lord Shiva during the Shravan month bestows upon the devotees several rewards, among them the completion of spiritual purification. In addition, a Pandit has advised that the suffering or problems brought on by planetary Doshas can be eliminated by worshipping Lord Shiva using Rudraksha, honey, ghee, belpatra, etc.

A Rudrabhishekam Puja done by seasoned pandits will assist you in overcoming insurmountable illnesses, money problems, and negative karma. Additionally, it can bring you success in your professional, commercial, and private lives. The elimination of doshas and bad planetary combinations from your birth chart is one of the most advantageous effects of a Rudrabhishekam Puja.

The same is true for the Laghu Rudra Puja, which you can undertake to please Lord Shiva to find inner peace and fulfil your aspirations. A Pathatmak Laghu Rudra Puja may eliminate evil and negativity in your immediate environment.
