Sawan Somwar 2025: Keep the fast of Sawan Monday for the whole month or that only on Monday?
Just as 40 days of fasts in the first Christians of Good Friday and just as fasting in the month of Ramadan in Islam, the month of Shravan is considered a holy and fasting month in Hinduism. Not only Monday, it is very beneficial by living in the entire Shravan month. In this month, the fasts should be followed according to the scripture. Should stay away from mind or fanatical fasts.
Shravan Monday or full month: Shravan started saying ‘Shravan Monday’ on the month of Shravan, it was understood that in the month of Shravan, only fast should be observed on Monday, while Chaturmas starts from the month of Shravan. This is the practice of fasting for this whole month. But those who cannot keep fast, they can at least keep on Monday, because the Mondays of Shravan are important.
By the way, the month of the entire Sawan is considered sacred. The days of fasting start from this month, which last for 4 months. The person who takes care of the Chaturmas by taking good care of food in Chaturmas, never has any kind of disease and mourning in his life.
Shravan fast: Fasting does not cause any kind of disease and mourning in life. Moksha is obtained from the fast itself. The month of Shravan has been appointed for the fast. In the month of Shravan, Upakarma fast is more important, it is also called ‘Shravani’.
From the month of Shravan, 4 months of the fasting of Hindus i.e. Chaturmas begin. It is necessary to keep a fast in the month of Shravan. This is the holiest month of Hindus. It is the duty of every Hindu in this month to observe fast and follow the rules. If he does not do this, then he will be surrounded by crises in life and it will also be believed that he does not care about Hinduism. If he is suffering from serious disease, is weak or is on a particular journey, then not keeping fast is anxious.
