RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA------------------------The holy month of Sawan is starting from 11 July 2025 and will continue till 9 August 2025. This month is dedicated to Lord Shiva and holds special significance for Shiva devotees. Special worship of Lord Bholenath is done every Monday of Sawan. However, in the scriptures, some such works have been forbidden in the month of Sawan, doing which can anger Lord Shiva and cause troubles in life. Let us know about those works which should not be done even by mistake in Sawan.

A satvik lifestyle should be adopted in the month of Sawan (Sawan 2025). Consuming non-vegetarian food and alcohol does not give the fruits of Shiva devotion and sin increases instead of virtue. According to the scriptures, it is very important to maintain the purity of body, mind and diet during this period.

In the month of Shravan, consuming tamasic (Sawan 2025) food like garlic, onion and brinjal is considered inauspicious. Staying away from these things and eating satvik and fruit-eating food brings special blessings of Lord Shiva.

It is auspicious to offer milk to Shivling in Sawan (Sawan 2025), but drinking milk itself is forbidden. Especially food should not be eaten in a bronze vessel. Instead, consume coconut water, lemonade and fruits.

Those who fast in Sawan (Sawan 2025) should leave the bed and sleep on the ground. Sleeping during the day reduces the virtue of the fast. Most of the time should be spent in the devotion and meditation of Lord Shiva.

The circumambulation of Shivling is not completed. According to the scriptures, one should not pass from behind the Shivling. Leaving the circumambulation incomplete and returning directly from behind is a sin.

It is forbidden to pluck Belpatra on Monday in Sawan (Sawan 2025). Collect Belpatra in advance for worship. By doing this, Lord Shiva remains happy and virtue is attained.

Do not use a steel or copper pot to offer water to the Shivling. Instead, a brass pot is considered more auspicious. This makes the resolution of worship successful.

Tulsi leaves and vermilion are not offered to Lord Shiva. This act is considered forbidden and does not give the benefit of worship.

The holy month of Sawan (Sawan 2025) is not just a time for fasting and worship, but a time for self-restraint, pure diet and positive thinking. By following these rules, the blessings of Lord Shiva remain and happiness, peace and prosperity come in life.
