As we all know, the month of Sawan (Shravan) is full of divine energy. People celebrate this holy month to pray with devotion, find a good life partner, and remove problems from life. But do you know what you should and should not do in this month?
Let’s understand through Gurudev Shrie Kashyap Ji, founder, All India Institute of Occult Science and True Vastu, what astrology says about Sawan and how devotees can get blessings from Lord Shiva.
Must-Do Practices During Sawan Month:
According to astrology, the right timing and right actions matter a lot. If you do simple things with a pure heart, you can get blessings from Lord Shiva and reduce planetary problems (grah dosh).
Do These Simple Things:
1- Offer Jal, Dahi, Honey, Sugar, and Belpatra on Shivling Every Monday
● You can also prepare Panchamrit (a mixture of milk, curd, honey, ghee, sugar) and offer it.
● According to the Shiv Puran, Belpatra should be offered with its upper side touching the Shivling, while the rough side should face upward. The tip of the leaf should point towards you, symbolizing your connection to Lord Shiva.
● If you cannot do it every Monday, do it on the first and last Monday of the month.
● This removes negative energy from your life.
2. Chant Mantra
● As per the Shiv Puran, men should chant the Shadakshar mantra ‘Om Namah Shivay’ and women should chant the Panchakshar mantra ‘Namah Shivay’.
3. Observe Monday Fast (Somwar Vrat)
● Especially helpful if you are facing problems in marriage, feeling mentally disturbed, or want peace in life.
4. Wear Rudraksha
This is the perfect time to wear Rudraksha.
● You can wear 3 Mukhi to gain knowledge, 5 Mukhi to fulfil all your desires, 7 Mukhi to gain prosperity and money, 9 Mukhi to gain power, and 10 Mukhi to live longer.
● You can visit a Shiva temple (Shivalaya) and wear the Rudraksha after chanting the mantra associated with it, with devotion.
5. Do Charity and Serve Cows (Gau Seva)
● Helping cows brings peace in life and reduces sins.
● It also helps to calm down bad planets in your chart.
6. Offer White Items to Shivling
● Like rice, curd, white clothes, etc.
● These items bring happiness, peace, and prosperity at home.
Things to Avoid During Sawan Month:
According to Gurudev Shrie Kashyap Ji, founder of the All India Institute of Occult Science, here’s what you should avoid during this holy time.
Avoid These Mistakes:
1- Don’t Eat Non-Veg or Drink Alcohol
● This month is meant for prayers and devotion.
● Stay away from meat and alcohol completely to keep your mind and body pure.
2- Don’t Offer Tulsi Leaves on Shivling
● Tulsi is never offered to Lord Shiva.
● This is a very important point to remember.
3- Avoid Anger, Lies, and Ego
● Try to stay calm and happy.
● Share love, spread joy, and stay away from negative emotions.
4- Don’t Hurt Anyone
● Don’t lie, don’t break someone’s heart.
● Respect everyone and try to do good in your daily life.
● These small acts will bring big changes in your destiny.
Sawan is a very powerful and holy month. When we truly connect with Lord Shiva during this time, he gives us more than we can imagine. He doesn’t want anything expensive just your faith, your love, and your pure heart.
If you pray with full trust and surrender, this one month can change your entire life.
