Sawan rudrabhishek in varanasi

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।

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

Top Best Places to Visit in Prayagraj

Prayagraj, formerly known as Allahabad, is a city steeped in culture, history, and spirituality. It is one of the most revered cities in India, renowned for its iconic landmarks, historical significance, and religious festivals. If you're planning a trip to this beautiful city, here are the top must-visit places that should be on your list:

1. Triveni Sangam

The Triveni Sangam is the confluence of three rivers: the Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati. This holy site is a magnet for pilgrims and a vital part of the Kumbh Mela, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. A visit here offers a serene and spiritual experience.

2. Allahabad Fort

Built by Emperor Akbar in 1583, the Allahabad Fort is an architectural marvel that showcases Mughal grandeur. The fort is home to the famous Ashoka Pillar, Patalpuri Temple, and the Akshaya Vat (immortal banyan tree). Though parts of the fort are restricted due to its use by the Indian Army, its historical and cultural significance makes it a must-visit.

3. Anand Bhavan

A visit to Prayagraj is incomplete without exploring Anand Bhavan, the ancestral home of the Nehru family. Now a museum, it houses artifacts, photographs, and memorabilia that provide a glimpse into India's freedom struggle.

4. Khusro Bagh

Khusro Bagh is a historical garden that houses the tombs of Prince Khusro, his mother, and his sister. Its exquisite Mughal architecture and tranquil environment make it a perfect spot for history buffs and peace seekers alike.

5. All Saints Cathedral

Commonly referred to as the "Patthar Girja," this Gothic-style cathedral is an architectural gem in Prayagraj. Built in the late 19th century, its intricate designs and stained-glass windows are awe-inspiring.

6. Chandrashekhar Azad Park (Company Garden)

This sprawling park, named after the famous freedom fighter Chandrashekhar Azad, is ideal for a leisurely stroll. It also holds historical significance, as it was here that Azad fought his last battle against the British.

7. Hanuman Mandir

Located near the Sangam, the Hanuman Mandir is famous for its unique reclining statue of Lord Hanuman. This temple holds great spiritual significance and attracts devotees year-round.

8. Prayagraj Planetarium

Perfect for science enthusiasts and families, the planetarium offers an engaging way to learn about the universe. It provides interactive shows that captivate visitors of all ages.
