Five auspicious items to bring home during Shravan Maas to ensure prosperity in 2023
On July 4, the most auspicious occasion of Sawan officially started, and worshippers are now fully engaged in the festival’s festivities. In the Hindu faith, Sawan, often referred to as Shrawan maas, is highly revered and is devoted to Lord Shiva. The whole month of Sawan is regarded as lucky, and followers maintain fasts throughout the month of Shravan. Instead of four Shravan somwar this year, there will be eight, which will heighten the excitement and festivities.
On July 10, the first Monday of the Shravan maas will be commemorated, during which time worshippers would worship Lord Shiva and fast all day in order to get the deity’s blessings. It is considered lucky to bring Lord Shiva-related items into your house during Sawan in order to bring luck, wealth, and happiness into your life, according to common belief.
1. A Naag-Nagin pair
Naag-Nagin is regarded as a revered representation of Lord Shiva. You may keep bad energy out of your home by putting a copper statue of Naag-Nagin there. To get the deity’s full blessings, the idols are offered milk, flowers, fruits, and lit diyas.
Trishul 2.
According to widely held beliefs, Trishul stands for the three states of consciousness—waking, dreaming, and sleeping. It represents the fact that Lord Shiva is both above and the defender of these three realms. Hinduism reveres the Trishul, a representation of Lord Shiva, and bringing one on Sawan Monday may help one resolve life’s biggest problems.
Gangajal 3.
The holy water of the Ganga River, also known as Ganga jal, is often utilized for ceremonial and auspicious purposes. It eliminates sins and harmful ideas, cleansing both the body and the psyche. To get Lord Shiva’s blessings, Jal Abhishek is done throughout Sawan month utilizing Ganga jal.
Rudraksha, no. 4
One of the most priceless and revered beads, rudraksha is renowned for its supernatural healing abilities. People who carry or wear Rudraksha are said to be seeking Lord Shiva’s bountiful blessings.
Bhasma 5.
It represents the ego being reduced to ashes and merging with the divine. Additionally, it stands for the release from mortal existence. Hindu texts claim that Lord Shiva once covered his body with bhasma to symbolize cleanliness.
