Sawan 2025: Are you going to keep Sawan Monday fast for the first time? Know its rules here..

Sawan 2025: Sawan month is going to start soon, which is considered a symbol of nature and love. It is also the favorite month of Mahadev, the God of Gods, which is dedicated to the worship of the Lord. In Hinduism, it is considered the best opportunity to please Mahakal and get his special blessings. It is believed that Mahadev himself runs the universe in Sawan, so the worship and penance done at this time give the fruits of the worship. Not only this, one also gets relief from financial crisis, disease, affliction, and stress.

According to mythology, pleased with the penance of Goddess Parvati in Sawan, Mahadev accepted her as his wife. Since then, it is believed that by worshiping Shiva in Sawan, the wish of getting the desired groom is fulfilled. However, worshiping Lord Shiva on Sawan Monday is even more auspicious. All the desires of the mind are fulfilled by fasting on this day. But some special rules must be followed during the fast. This gives the full fruit of worship.
