Significance of Shravan:
Shravan is considered the holiest month in the Hindu calendar. This is the month of pujas, ceremonies and celebration. It is believed that this month is supremely auspicious and a great one to start anything new. It is good for new beginnings, start a new venture, conduct sacred ceremonies and more. Shiva Tattva is dominant during the entire month and Rudra Pujas, Rudrabhishekhs are conducted throughout. It is said that on the Poornima night i.e. full moon night during this month, the Shravan nakshatra (constellation) rules the skies. There are many mythological tales associated with this month stating its significance.
Shiva Tattva
Shiva is the energy responsible for transformation. Shiva is the remover of obstacles on the path. He is responsible for breaking the old to make way for the new. Shiva is the benevolent one. As per Indian Mythology, Shiva resides on Mount Kailash. The very meaning of Kailash is where there is only celebration, only joy. In the month of Shravan, the whole atmosphere is filled with celebration. The Shiva-tattva is at its peak, it is easily available. So this month is the best month to worship Lord Shiva.
It is all about energies. Our universe is made up of energy. It is said that negative energy is dominant during this time and Shiva being the Lord of Transformation, is worshipped to ward off the negativity and increase the positivity.
What is puja?
Puja is that which is born out of fullness or completeness. When you drop all your desires, all the botheration and complaints at the feet of Divinity then only you can feel full or complete.
Significance of Shiva Tatva:
In Rudra puja, the Shiva-tattva is invoked in all its grandeur. The devotees get immersed in the vibrations of ancient Sanskrit chants and mantras. Mind reaches a meditative state. The whole atmosphere gets charged by the Shiva-tattva. Shiva is the benevolent energy which transforms and removes obstacles. Sankalpas easily get communicated to the all-pervading Divinity and for that omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent Divinity nothing is impossible. All beneficial desires bear fruit. All obstacles get removed. Life marches ahead.
