Importance of Shravan Masi
Namaskaram to all living souls of this Universe.
Many days have passed without any useful action spiritually for me because of the compulsion of defending so many negative vibes around me. Well, I thought, why this experience for me for no reason and during my afternoon nap today Lord Shiva gave me answer smilingly , REALISE SHRAVAN MAASI & IT'S IMPORTANCE & vanished.
I was truly upset with the futile exercises I tried, to ward off so many negative influences pouncing on me to humble me to such a level of HELPLESSNESS WHICH i COULD LITERALLY FEEL.
Like,of all the deities Lord Shiva is TOP MOST for the wishes he grants for the penance one does as also the MUKTHI for the soul from Earthly existence to pave the way for Salvation, of all the Hindu calendar months, SHRAVAN MAASI(month of Shravan) is TOP MOST for ones spiritual penance and one should & must pay main importance in praying to Lord Shiva.
For souls who wish to know the best ways of meaningful prayers, here are some.
Fasting during the month of Shravan is rampant among people without even knowing the reasons and one will find many souls addicted to so many vices especially boozards having a GHATARI PARTY BEFORE THE STARTING DAY OF SHRAVAN.
Most souls just refrain from consuming alcohl, non-veg & eat only the items prescribed for fasting days filling their stomach full with variety of eatables and most of them will add more weight in this one month of special eating in the name of fasting.
Please don't entertain any of this absurd activities & follow suit.
1. Get up early morning around 3a.m. and finish with a clean bath and head straght to a Shiva temple by 4a.m. and surrender your soul to HIM WITH SINCERE PRAYERS. This, one can do even at home, if tthere is no temple nearby or temple is crowded for the season.
THE PRIME IMPORTANCE MUST BE GIVEN TO SINCERITY IN PRAYING TO LORD SHIVA & NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
THE PRAYERS AS FAR AS POSSIBLE MUST BE PERFORMED BEFORE SUNRISE & DON'T EVER CARRY THE FEELING THAT i HAVE DONE NICELY SO i WILL BE REWARDED. THIS IS THE PRIME DUTY OF EVERY SOUL, mind IT.
THE SAME WAY EVENING PRAYER MUST BE OVER BEFORE SUNSET AND TWO PRAYERS ARE MUST. TWO TIMES BATH ALSO.
FASTING IS DONE FOR THE PRIME REASON OF CONTROLLING OUR SENSES(VASNAS) AND DIRECT THE MIND COMPLETELY TOWARDS PENANCE AND NOTHING ELSE.
Fasting means to refrain from eating & drinking such eatables which can have adverse effect on our mind & physical body.
One has to eat simple food which gives enough calories to survive the day without creating health problems.
Just twice in a day is what is recommended and never full stomach with items of our likes.
One can drink water as needed and there is no restrictions for it.
No need to keep praying the whole day& night for the whole month.
The purpose is for the first fifteen days get the body controlled of all senses to bring it under the control of our Intellect and the last fifteen days evacuate all the negative energies we have saved in our body & mind to autmatically fill them back with positive energy of divinely importance for the soul.
If this is done as said one will be perfectly fit physically bodywise after the Shravan month is over and Mind wise one will realise by oneself how energising it is . Please don't hesitate to share your experiences with all.
Prayers to Lord Shiva durng the month of SHRAVAN is considered most effective because the prayers reach the ears of Lord Shiva and he is ONE GIVER WITH NO LIMITATIONS but please don't ask for materialistic, Earthly wants and WASTE YOUR PENANCE FOR NOTHING IN THE END.
Pranam with genuine wishes for SHRAVAN MAASI penance.
