Sawan rudrabhishek in kashi

 

Sawan rudrabhishek in kashi

महादेव को प्रसन्न करने के लिए यह मास समर्पित है। इस बार श्रावण मास की शुरुआत रविवार से तो समाप्ति भी रविवार को ही हो रही है। जो बेहद खास है। प्रतिपदा को श्रवण नक्षत्र का संयोग चार चांद लगाने वाला होगा। सावन में नवग्रह पूजन विशेष फलदायी होता है।

இந்த மாதம் மகாதேவரை மகிழ்விக்க அர்ப்பணிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்த முறை ஷ்ரவண மாதம் ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை
 தொடங்கி ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமையும் முடிவடைகிறது. இது மிகவும் சிறப்பு வாய்ந்தது. பிரதிபதா அன்று ஷ்ரவண 
நட்சத்திரத்தின் சேர்க்கை
 இதை இன்னும் சிறப்பானதாக்கும். ஷ்ரவணத்தில் நவக்கிரகங்களை வழிபடுவது மிகவும் பலனளிக்கும்.


वाराणसी, [सौरभ चंद्र पांडेय]। Sawan 2025 सनातन संस्कृति का सबसे पवित्र माह सावन 22 जुलाई से आरंभ हो रहा है। इस विशेष माह में शिव की आराधना, उपासना और अभिषेक से मनभावना पूर्ण होती है। इसके साथ ही मन में भक्ति, शक्ति, पवित्रता, उल्लास, साधना और अध्यात्म की भावना उमड़ पड़ती है। सनातनी मन अपने आपको शिवभक्ति में समाहित करने लगता है। तो आइए जानते हैं सावन माह में कैसे करें शिव का पूजन-अर्चन, कि जिससे शिव हो प्रसन्न।

सावन में अपनाएं ब्रह्मचर्य के नियम

शिव की उपासना के लिए शास्त्रों में कुछ विधि-विधान बताए गए हैं। जिसका पालन यदि सनातनी करें तो शिव निश्चित ही प्रसन्न होंगे।

- सावन में पूरे महीने भर पत्ती वाली सब्जियां नहीं खानी चाहिए।

- शिवभक्तों को सात्विक भोजन करना चाहिए। मांसाहार और नशे से दूर रहना चाहिए।

- चिकित्सकों के मुताबिक इस महीने में मसालेदार और तले भुने पदार्थों के सेवन से परहेज करना चाहिए।

- स्कंदपुराण के अनुसार सावन महीने में एक ही समय भोजन करना चाहिए।

- पानी में बिल्वपत्र या आंवला डालकर स्नान करना चाहिए। इससे पापों का क्षय होता है।

- भगवान विष्णु का वास जल में होता है। इसलिए इस महीने में तीर्थ के जल से स्नान का विशेष महत्व है।

- संत समाज को वस्त्र, दूध, दही, पंचामृत, अन्न, फल का दान करना चाहिए।

सावन के कुछ खास दिन

2025 में सावन का महीना 11 जुलाई से शुरू होकर 9 अगस्त को खत्म होगा. इस साल सावन में चार सोमवार व्रत पड़ेंगे

श्रवण नक्षत्र लगाएगा चार चांद

ख्यात ज्योतिषाचार्य पं. ऋषि द्विवेदी के अनुसार देवाधिदेव महादेव को प्रसन्न करने के लिए यह मास समर्पित है। इस बार श्रावण मास की शुरुआत रविवार से तो समाप्ति भी रविवार को ही हो रही है। जो बेहद खास है। प्रतिपदा को श्रवण नक्षत्र का संयोग चार चांद लगाने वाला होगा। सावन में नवग्रह पूजन विशेष फलदायी होता है।

यह है शिव का पूजन विधान

काशी हिंदू विश्वविद्यालय के ज्योतिष विभागाध्यक्ष प्रो. विनय कुमार पांडेय के अनुसार सावन महीने में पवित्रता पूर्ण जीवन यापित करें। ॐ नमः शिवाय मंत्र का जाप करें। शिव का गंगाजल, गाय के दूध से अभिषेक करें। फल-फूल, बिल्वपत्र, धतूरा और अन्य पूजन सामग्रियों से शिव का दरबार सजाएं। उसके बाद शिव की महाआरती करें।

हर मनोकामना के लिए अलग-अलग होता है अभिषेक

पं. धनंजय पांडेय के अनुसार सावन में द्वादश ज्योतिर्लिंगों के दर्शन-पूजन और वंदन का विशेष महत्व है। काशी में इसकी महिमा विशेष इसलिए है कि द्वादश ज्योतिर्लिंग में सर्व प्रधान ज्योतिर्लिंग आदिविशेश्वर को माना जाता है। भगवान आशुतोष के दो रूप हैं। एक रौद्र दूसरा आशुतोष। इन्हें प्रसन्न करने के लिए सावन में रुद्राभिषेक, तैलाभिषेक, जलाभिषेक किया जाता है। अलग-अलग कामनाओं के लिए अलग-अलग अभिषेक के विधान बनाए गए हैं।

- आर्थिक लाभ के लिए दुग्धाभिषेक

- शत्रु बाधा से मुक्ति के लिए तैलाभिषेक

- सर्व कामना सिद्धि के लिए जलाभिषेक

- मार्केस ग्रह से मुक्ति के लिए महामृत्युंजय जाप



Sawan 2025 in kashi varanasi

 

Sawan 2025 in kashi

Hindus regard the month of 'Sawan', also known as 'Shravan month', as auspicious for worshipping Lord Shiva. Every Monday during this month, devotees observe 'Shravan Somwar' or 'Sawan Somwar', a fast. They also pray to Lord Shiva for his blessing. Many worshippers fast for sixteen Mondays, or 'Solah Somwar', beginning with the first Somwar of the Sawan month. While Mondays are reserved for Lord Shiva, all Tuesdays or Mangalwar in Sawan month are reserved for Goddess Parvati. Fasting on Tuesday during Sawan month is known as 'Mangal Gauri Vrat', according to Drik Panchang. Other auspicious days in Shravan month include Sawan Shivaratri and Hariyali Amavasya.

WHEN IS SAWAN MONTH BEGINNING? 

After about 19 years, the month of Shravan dedicated to Bhagwan Shiva will be celebrated for two months this year, and the main reason for this is 'Malamas'. The month of Shravan or Sawan will begin on July 25, 2025, and end on August 23, 2025.

Malamas, formerly known as 'Adhikmas', is a three-year extra month that falls between the months of February and October.

Sawan Somvar Vrat 2025: 

Solah Somvar Vrat: 

Some devotees continue to fast on Monday even after Sawan. Beginning with the first Somwar (Monday), they fast for the next sixteen Mondays. The sixteen-day fasting period is known as Solah Somwar Vrat. The weekly Monday fast was observed for one day, and food was consumed only once in the evening. Sawan generally observes fasting during the months of July, August, and September.

SIGNIFICANCE OF SAWAN MONTH: 

According to Hindu legend, Lord Shiva consumed the poison that arose from the ocean during the 'Samudra Manthan' and thus saved the world. As a result, his devotees observe the Sawan or Shravan month to pray to the Lord, who always protects and blesses his followers with good health and fortune.

Sawan is the fifth month of the Hindu calendar, falling between July and August. Devotees observe fasts and pray to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati for a peaceful and prosperous life on this special occasion. They also go on 'Kanwar Yatra', where they collect water from holy rivers and carry Kanwars on their shoulders to offer to Shivlingas at nearby temples. Every year, thousands of devout pilgrims make the journey. Furthermore, it is said that the holy water should not be kept on the floor or any other surface until it is offered to Lord Shiva.
