Mukesh Sharma: The Sawan month is of great importance out of the twelve months according to the Hindu calendar. The surroundings can be seen full of greenery during this month. It seems as if a new life has been gives to nature. A close relationship between humans and nature has been described in the Vedas. According to Vedas, Brahmanas offer prayers and read Vedas during rains. Doing this, makes a person feel happy and content. The Sawan month is full of days with rains. Various insects and other beings come out of the dark during rains and make noises. It seems as if someone has broken the vow of silence and has started speaking again.
The second Monday of Sawan month today witnessed multitudes of devotees at the Mahakal Dham offering water at the Shiva Linga in Darjeeling. The heavy rainfall since last three days could not pamper the devotion of the people.Likewise in Kalimpong the similar scenario was observed. Every temple in and around Kalimpong town like Thakurbari, Inchey, Bermiok Dham were flocked by the devotees to offer water to Lord Shiva. The puja is also started at the Rambi temple.
It is said that a person should worship Lord in the following four months just like various insects and other beings start making noises during the Sawan month. According to mythology, nature is a form of Lord Shiva and hence, Lord Shiva is worshipped during the Sawan month. There is a lot of rain during the Swan month and the level of water increases. Hence, water is poured on Lord Shiva during this month.
According to religious texts, poison came out of the sea during the battle between the Devas and the Demons. Lord Shiva came forward and drank this poison to save mankind. Lord Shiva did this during the Sawan month. His body temperature increased substantially. All Devi-Devas tried to lower his body temperature but nothing helped. Lord Shiva then wore the Moon on his head which lowered his temperature.
It is also believed that Lord Indra wanted Lord Shiva’s body temperature to decreases and hence, it rained heavily. This calmed down Lord Shiva and since then the Sawan month is celebrated to please Lord Shiva. Water is poured on Lord Shiva during the whole Sawan month, especially on Mondays. Lord Shiva is worshipped with a lot of zeal during this month which is the second biggest event after Mahashivaratri.
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva is worshipped during the whole Sawan month. This month is known as Bholenath’s month. There is a legend behind this. According to this legend, Sati sacrificed her life in her father, Daksh’s house. Before doing this, she swore that she would marry Lord Shiva in every succeeding life.
Devi Sati was born as Parvati in the next life. She was the daughter of Himalaya and Maina. In this life, Parvati fasted during the month of Sawan when she was young. Lord Shiva was impressed and since then, fasting during the Sawan month has a great value.
