The Importance of Sawan Monday Fast: Why Is It So Special?

Today is the third Monday of Sawan, and this day is considered the best for fasting and worship of Lord Shiva. According to mythological beliefs, Mother Parvati had fasted on Sawan Monday to get Lord Shiva as her husband. It is said that devotees who observe fast with complete devotion on this day and offer things like water, milk, Belpatra on Shivling, all the sorrows and sufferings of their life are removed, and sins are destroyed.

Sawan month is also associated with the Samudra Manthan. When Halahal poison came out of the churning, Lord Shiva saved the whole universe by drinking it. As a symbol of this incident, the practice of Shiva worship and fasting started in Sawan. This fast especially brings good fortune to unmarried girls, unbroken good fortune to married women, and mental peace, physical strength, and spiritual strength to all devotees.
