Celebrating Shravan with Shiva -1

 Shiva Day One

This Shravan month or Sawan Mahina, I am going to explore how the concept of God is treated in the Vedas and many other ancient scriptures. I have been always curious while being an informal student of philosophy, theology, and non-religious science to find my creator. I am just trying to find pieces of evidence in ancient texts across all religions about the various manifestations of God. I have picked on the Vedas as the oldest recorded scripture and find it evolutionary in defining the concept of God. To my logical reasoning and comparing with the knowledge of this millennium I have found some similarities.

Vedanta is a library of a research thesis that was documented in the last twelve thousand years. The ancient rishis of India were the ones who gave the maximum contribution to the Vedas and in return, they lived with the minimum.

It is also very auspicious for a good start or “Shubh Aarambh.” It is the holiest month of the year for the Hindus. According to Hindu scriptures, each day in the month of Shravan is considered highly auspicious and has a special spiritual significance.

·       Monday: It is dedicated to the worshiping of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva is the ruler of the Moon.

·       Tuesday: It is dedicated to the worshiping of Mata Gauri. It brings good health and peace to their family.

·       Wednesday: It is dedicated to “Vithala” an incarnation of Lord Vishnu or Shri Krishna.

·       Thursdays: It is dedicated to the worship of Guru.

·       Friday: Dedicated to the worship of Goddess Lakshmi or Tulsi.
