Happy Sawan Shivratri 2025: Top 50+ Shivratri wishes, messages, quotes, images, WhatsApp status to share
During this holy month, special prayers and rituals are performed in temples across the country to honour Lord Shiva and his family. Sawan is considered a highly sacred time, believed to bring success, good marriage prospects, and wealth when one worships Lord Shiva with devotion.
As per the Hindu calendar, there are 12 Shivratris in a year. However, two of them hold greater significance. The first is Mahashivratri, celebrated with great devotion in the month of Phalgun. The second is Sawan Shivratri, which falls in the month of Sawan (also known as Shravan). This day is especially important for Shiva devotees and is observed with deep faith and meaningful rituals.
In 2025, Sawan Shivratri will be celebrated on Wednesday, July 23. As per religious beliefs, those who fast and worship Lord Shiva with true dedication on this day are blessed with his divine grace. Devotees believe that Mahadev is especially pleased during this time.
On this auspicious day, devotees also offer Gangajal (holy water from the Ganga river) to Lord Shiva. The day is linked with the Samudra Manthan story from the Satyuga, and it is said that the Shiva Linga appeared for the first time on this day. Most importantly, Sawan Shivratri also marks the divine union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
As the festival approaches, people are preparing to celebrate by sharing Sawan Shivratri wishes, quotes, images, and messages with friends and family to spread positivity and devotion.

Aaj Ka Panchang, July 26, 2025: Tithi, Vrat, Shubh Muhurat & Rahu Kaal Today
Last Updated: Aaj Ka Panchang, July 26, 2025: Auspicious day for ancestor worship, Shani puja and travel. Magha Nakshatra brings power, Leo Moon enhances confidence and self-worth. Aaj Ka Panchang, July 26, 2025: Today is the second day of Shukla Paksha of Shravan month, which is considered especially auspicious for worship, starting a journey, and strengthening relationships. Today's Nakshatra is Magha, which is associated with power, prestige, and blessings of ancestors. This Nakshatra makes a person aware of self-respect and karma, so today is considered very auspicious for remembering ancestors and worshiping Kuldevta. From the point of view of yoga, today there was Vyatipat Yoga till 4:05:17 AM in the morning, which is generally considered inauspicious, but the time after this can be considered normal to auspicious for the day's work. This day is Saturday, which is dedicated to Shani Dev, the god of justice. On this day, Shani Puja, donation, especially donation of black sesame, urad, and iron-related items, is very fruitful. The Moon is transiting in Leo today, which indicates self-confidence, a sense of leadership, and advancement in public life. Today, your focus can be more on your own honor and social image. Sunrise will be at 06:09:29 AM and sunset will be at 07:25:01 PM. At the same time, the moon will rise at 07:26:18 AM and set at 08:45:54 PM, due to which there will be stability and energy in the mind and emotions throughout the day. According to the Hindu calendar, today is Shak Samvat 1947 and Vikram Samvat 2082. According to both Amavasya and Purnima systems, today is the date of the Shravan month, which makes this day suitable for Shiva worship and fasting. Talking about inauspicious Muhurta, Rahu Kaal: from 09:28:22 AM to 11:07:48 AM in the morning, Yamaganda Kaal: from 02:26:41 PM to 04:06:08 PM in the afternoon, Gulik Kaal: from 06:09:29 AM to 07:48:55 AM in the morning. One should avoid starting new work or any investment during these times. In Shubh Muhurat, Abhijeet Muhurta was from 06:09:29 AM to 07:48:55 AM today, so if you have started any important work during this period, then there are strong chances of success in it. In summary, today is a very favourable day for family, commemoration of ancestors, religious worship, self-analysis, and pleasing Shani Dev. Focus on your actions, stay away from anger or ego, and adopt humility and a service spirit. This day can make your personality stronger, provided you remain restrained and polite with confidence.

Is there an Indian psychoanalysis? Understanding Sudhir Kakar's cultural turn
Born on this day in 1938, Sudhir Kakar, the 'father of Indian psychoanalysis', is celebrated for bringing a distinct 'Indianness' to the field. Psychoanalysis is a theory of mind and a clinical practice developed by Sigmund Freud. It primarily focuses on the relationship between 'conscious' thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and the 'unconscious' mind. Notably, Freud and others after him emphasised upon the discipline's universality. By interpreting the Indian psyche through myths and societal norms, Kakar infused psychoanalysis with an Indian cultural richness, and redefined how the discipline could engage with non-Western minds. His ideas continue to reshape how India thinks about the mind, culture, and identity today. Kakar passed away last year. Kakar believed that Freud's theories, while revolutionary, were embedded in European culture, meaning they often failed to resonate with Indian psychological realities. He argued that Indian culture views reality differently from the post-Enlightenment West. 'In the traditional Indian view, which still exerts a powerful influence on how even most modern Indians view marriage and family, parent-sons and filial bonds among the sons living in an extended family override the importance of the couple as the foundation of the family,' he said in an address to the Indian Psychoanalytic Society in 2022. But rather than rejecting psychoanalysis, Kakar expanded it by interpreting the unconscious through the lens of Indian myths, familial structures, and spiritual traditions. He introduced concepts such as the 'Ganesha Complex' as an Indian-alternative to Freud's influential Oedipus Complex, which borrowed from Greek mythology to explain a son's sexual attitude to his mother and hostility towards the father. 'My main argument is that the ''hegemonic narrative'' of Hindu culture as far as male development is concerned is neither that of Freud's Oedipus nor that of Christianity's Adam,' he wrote in 'Hindu Myth and Psychoanalytic Concepts: The Ganesha Complex' published in Asian Culture and Psychotherapy: Implications for East and West (2005). Kakar used the myth of Skanda (also known as Kartikeya) and Ganesha to explain India's culturally sanctioned dependence on the maternal figure. Unlike Skanda, Ganesha in the myth chooses maternal closeness over heroic independence. 'By remaining an infant… Ganesha will never know the pangs of separation from the mother… That Ganesha's lot is considered superior to Skanda's is perhaps an indication of the Indian man's cultural preference in the dilemma of separation-individuation,' Kakar wrote. Kakar drew heavily from Indian epics, folklore, and even popular cinema to reveal how collective fantasies shape the unconscious. 'The self,' he said 'is a system of reverberating representational worlds — representations of culture, primary family relationships and bodily life.' While Kakar's work itself was rooted in Hindu culture, he envisioned an Indian psychoanalysis that would engage critically with Western theories. 'The wish is that a future generation of Indian analysts realises that a critical stance is now needed after a long, much too long phase of idealisation of Western analytic gurus,' he said. Psychoanalysts in India today draw deeply from Kakar's reimagining of psychoanalysis, integrating his culturally rooted insights into clinical practice, specifically acknowledging the imprint of collective histories, myths, and identities on the unconscious. As Amrita Narayanan, a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, wrote in 'An Elastic Indianness: In Memory of Sudhir Kakar' (2024), Kakar believed that the Indian 'ego', formed through the blurring of self and other, was fundamentally different than the Western, autonomous conception. 'The 'I am' and 'we are' are birthed simultaneously for Indians,' she wrote, suggesting that for many, social expectations are internalised as personal desires. This deep enmeshment of self and community has major implications for how therapists understand emotional conflict, sexuality, and even violence. 'Much like Freud, Kakar's quest for clues in folk tales, fables, and epics holds the reimagination of Indianness, in which the self yearns for spirituality,' said Pulkit Sharma, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. For many clinicians, Kakar's recognition of India's spiritual imagination, through epics, rituals, and mythology, reshaped what counts as healing. Myths of Ganesha and Ram, used by Kakar to illustrate the nurturing and sacrificial Indian son, challenged Western tropes like Oedipus and offered a new vocabulary for male development. Similarly, fantasies of femininity, coded as nurturing, maternal, and emotionally sensitive, are central rather than deviant. 'In the clinical room, sensitivity is given to caste, religion, gender, family, generational myths, and traditions that shape the subjectivity of the client. All of it informs the therapist about indigenous narratives and themes that help in learning the unconscious script. This accessibility serves as a guide to meaningful therapeutic growth,' Sharma said. 'The psychotherapist must know that it's not merely a defence, but a well-meaning psychological structure that fosters healing. The psychopathology is not intrapsychic but extrapsychic in Kakar's works. It further carries the ruptures of colonialism, modernity, and globalisation,' he added.
