SHRAVAN MASS
Each day of Shravan has very different significance. However, the most important of these fasts is Shravani Monday. Worshiping Lord Mahadev during this period is believed to fulfill all wishes. It is said that the pujas and fasts performed on Mondays especially in the month of Shravan get immediate results. Worshiping Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati together is believed to bring good fortune and remove financial problems. It is said that the reason why the month of Shravan is dear to Mahadev Shankar is that Goddess Parvati performed great penance in this month to attain Shankar. Jalabhishek and Rudrabhishek are also of special importance in Shiva Puja performed on Shravani Monday. If it is not possible to worship Shiva, it is said that by offering only one bela leaf to Shiva with devotion, one gets the merit of full worship. Also wearing Rudraksha which is one of the symbols of Shiva in Shravan is considered beneficial.
According to Hindu Panchang, this time Shravan month is going to be about 2 months. The month of Shravan will start from 18th July 2023 and will last till 15th September. That means devotees will get a chance to worship Lord Shankar for a total of 59 days this time. It is said that this auspicious combination happened after 19 years. This time Malamas will be between 18th July to 16th August. This means that along with Lord Shankar, Lord Vishnu will also get blessings in Shravana.
According to astrological calculations, a solar year is 365 days, 6 hours and 11 seconds. But a lunar year is 354 days and 9 hours. In such a case, every year the lunar year differs from the solar year by about 11 days. In such a situation, to maintain the harmony between the solar year and the lunar year, after one Malmasa, another Malmasa comes again after 32 months, 16 days. Thus every third year there is more mass. A similar coincidence has happened after 19 years this time in the month of Shravan. So this year there will be more mass in the month of Shravan.
