SUMMARY:Shravan Maas Begins: south India
DESCRIPTION:Shravan Maas\, also known as Sawan\, is a significant period in the Hindu lunar calendar. It typically falls between July and August\, marking the fifth month of the Hindu calendar. During this auspicious month\, devotees engage in rituals and worship dedicated to Lord Shiva. Here are some key points about Shravan Maas: \n\nSignificance: Shravan Maas is revered as the most auspicious month. It is charged with Shiva tattvas (Shiva elements)\, which purify the mind\, senses\, body\, and soul through dedicated rituals to Lord Shiva1.\nChaturmas Period: Shravan Maas is the first month of the Chaturmas period\, which consists of four months (Shravan\, Bhadrapada\, Ashwin\, and Kartik) dedicated to bhakti (devotion) and revering the Divine. Lord Vishnu enters Yoga Nidra (deep meditation) on Adi Shesha (the seven-hooded serpent) beneath the cosmic ocean during this time\, while Lord Shiva takes care of creation1.\nLegend of Maa Parvati: According to another legend\, Maa Parvati observed hard penance and fasting throughout the month of Shravan to marry Lord Shiva. Pleased with her devotion\, Lord Shiva fulfilled her wish. Many women observe Shravan Somvar Fast or Solah Somvar Fast during this month to attract a husband like Bhagwan Shiva1.\nSamudra Manthan: The search for Amrit (nectar of immortality) began in the Shravan month during the Samudra Manthan (Churning of the Milky Ocean). Fourteen types of jewels emerged from the ocean\, including the deadly poison Halahal. This event holds great significance in Hindu mythology1.
