History and significance of Sawan 2024: In Indian mythology,
Sawan's history dates back to the Samudra Manthan, a gathering of devas and
asuras searching for the elixir of immortality, or Amrit.
The churning of the ocean gave rise to many things, such as
jewels, animals, the Goddess Lakshmi, and Dhanvantri. But all went crazy when
the deadly poison halahal showed around.
Everybody who came into contact with it started to be
destroyed by it. Consequently, Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu conferred with Lord
Shiva. Since Lord Shiva could tolerate this potent poison, they pleaded with
him to consume it. The moment he swallowed the toxin, his body became blue.
Goddess Parvati entered the Lord's throat to halt the
poison's spread since she was concerned that it would eventually affect his entire
body. As a result, Lord Shiva gained the name Neelkanth.
The month of Sawan was when these things happened. As a
result, Mondays are dedicated to worshipping Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati for
the entire month. Sawan month is considered fortunate by Hindus due to the
numerous significant events that fall within this month. Drik Panchang lists a
few holidays and fasts to observe: Kamika Ekadashi, Mangala Gauri Vrats,
Hariyali Teej, Raksha Bandhan, Narali Purnima, and Kalki Jayanti. Some Shiva
devotees travel to sacred locations on the Kanwar Yatra and present Lord Shiva
with Gangajal.
Sawan Purnima is observed worshipping Lord Shiva, Maa
Parvati, Chandra Dev, Shri Hari Vishnu, and Maa Laxmi. Sawan 2024 puja vidhi
and samagri. At-home Satyanarayan Puja is another option. Get up early on this
day, take a bath, and gather supplies for the puja, such as Belpatra, incense,
a lamp, pure water, flowers, candies, fruits, and more.
Next, worship Maa Parvati and Lord Shiva, and present them with fruits, flowers, and Belpatra. Also, light a diya and incense sticks. Worship Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi afterwards, giving them flowers, cowrie shells, and yellow fruits as offerings. On Sawan Purnima, worship Chandra Dev by singing mantras and offering Arghya after moonrise.
