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.

Why No Marriage in Sawan 2025? Do These Remedies For A Stronger Love Life
In our rich Sanatan tradition, the month of Sawan is one of great spiritual depth. It is the time when Lord Shiva , the destroyer of illusion and the giver of supreme wisdom, is most easily pleased. The rains cool the earth, rivers swell, and hearts become ripe with devotion. Every Somvar (Monday) during Sawan becomes a sacred opportunity to offer prayers, seek blessings, and deepen one's connection with Mahadev. Yet, you may have heard from elders or astrologers that marriages are not conducted in the month of Sawan. For some, this may sound strange, especially when this month is filled with Lord Shiva's presence—He who is also known as Ardhanarishwara, the very symbol of divine union. So why is marriage not advised during this sacred month? And more importantly, if marriage is avoided, what can couples or would-be couples do to strengthen their bond during this holy time? Why Is Marriage Avoided in Sawan? First and foremost, Sawan is a month dedicated to deep inner sadhana. It is not considered a grihastha month, but rather a time when Rishis, yogis, and seekers reduce worldly distractions and turn within. Lord Shiva Himself is the ultimate renunciate—He wears bhasma, lives on Kailash, and meditates in silence. His energies in this month are meditative and inward, not aligned with the celebrations and material energy required for a marriage. According to astrology, the Sun begins its southward journey (Dakshinayan) during this period, which marks a more introspective and spiritual phase of the year. In Vedic thinking, any major worldly event like marriage, griha pravesh, or starting a new business is avoided during Dakshinayan unless absolutely necessary. The presence of heavy rainfall, planetary doshas, and lack of auspicious nakshatras also adds to the reasons. Our elders believed that marriage during Sawan could bring emotional disturbances, misunderstandings, or a lack of long-term harmony. It is not because the month is inauspicious, but because its energy is meant for inner union, not outer rituals. But Sawan Is the Month of Shiva and Parvati! This month is ideal for worshipping the divine union of Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati, whose bond was not based on just rituals but tapasya, surrender, and grace. Parvati Mata observed strict penance during Sawan to win Lord Shiva's heart. Her vrata, devotion, and patience moved even the austere Mahadev to accept her as His Ardhangini. Therefore, while formal marriages are avoided in this month, the spiritual energy of love, dedication, and divine bonding is at its peak. This is why unmarried women keep the Solah Somvar Vrat to get a husband like Mahadev. Married women pray for the health and longevity of their husbands. And couples seek strength in their bond by offering Jal to the Shivling together. What Can Couples Do Instead During Sawan? If you are in a committed relationship, engaged, or even already married, there are many ways to strengthen your bond during this divine time. These simple, meaningful acts invoke divine energies into your relationship and purify it from misunderstandings or karmic heaviness. 1. Perform Shiva-Parvati Puja Together Sit together in your home temple or visit a nearby Shiva temple. Offer water, milk, belpatra, and flowers to the Shivling. Light a diya and chant the following mantra together: 'Om Namah Shivaya' (108 times) Then chant: 'Om Uma Maheshwaraya Namah' (11 times) This simple act creates a beautiful vibration of unity, respect, and shared devotion between you. 2. Read or Listen to Shiva-Parvati Katha Listening to the story of how Parvati won Shiva through her patience, faith, and penance brings inspiration. It reminds us that true love is not about outward gifts or sweet words, but about standing by each other with inner strength and understanding. You may read the Shiv-Parvati Vivaah Katha from the Shiva Purana or listen to it together in the evening. 3. Offer Bilva Patra with Joint Sankalp When visiting the temple, offer Bilva leaves together , and do a sankalp (mental intention) for harmony, understanding, and divine guidance in your relationship. Even if you cannot go to a temple, do this at home before a picture or murti of Mahadev. Speak the sankalp silently in your heart: "O Mahadev and Mata Parvati, may our bond be filled with patience, love, and divine guidance. Let us walk this journey together in truth and respect." 4. Observe Partial Fasting on Somvar If both partners can, observe a light fast on Mondays. Have fruits, milk, and satvik meals. Do some japa or meditation together in the evening. This brings alignment between your energies and invokes blessings for stability in your bond. 5. Avoid Conflict, Harsh Words, or Ego Battles Sawan is a time of spiritual purity. Mahadev, being the master of silence, teaches us that speech must be sweet, truthful, and measured. Couples are advised to avoid arguments, sarcasm, or proving each other wrong. Instead, try to listen more and speak less. Even a simple act of forgiveness can lift the vibration of your relationship. 6. Offer Diyas and Flowers Together in the Evening After sunset, light a diya together and offer flowers to Mahadev. Sit in silence for a few minutes and thank each other mentally for being present in your life. Even if there have been fights or pain in the past, this sacred act brings closure and healing. 7. Perform Rudrabhishek for Relationship Peace If possible, arrange for a simple Rudrabhishek at home or in a temple. Offer milk, honey, curd, and water to the Shivling while chanting the Rudra Mantras or the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra : 'Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat' This is especially powerful if you are going through relationship turbulence. Mahadev removes obstacles, misunderstandings, and the ill effects of Rahu-Ketu that may trouble relationships. Sawan Is for Soulful Bonding, Not Outer Celebration Marriage is a celebration of two souls coming together. But in the month of Sawan, the celebration is of inner union—between the Jeevatma and Paramatma, between heart and mind, between ego and surrender. If marriage is avoided in this month, it is not a loss. It is a divine invitation to purify your bond, deepen your bhakti, and prepare for a more sacred partnership. Whether you are planning marriage, already married, or facing trials in love, let Sawan be a time of prayer, patience, and purposeful love. Bow to Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati. Their story teaches us that true love is tested by time, purified by tapasya, and blessed by divinity.

Why is the Moon affectionately called Chanda Mama in India
Throughout the ages, the moon has always captivated human beings with its mysterious charm and glow in the night sky, serving as a symbol of hope, rebirth, and rhythm. The Moon has been a part of it all, be it myths, legends, rituals or calendars, ever since the childhood of a baby by influencing how we pray, and how we dream. In India, the moon isn't just a celestial body, but a deity, a symbol of royalty, and a storyteller in the sky. Children still call it Chanda-mama, the maternal uncle who visits often but never stays long. But have you ever thought about why it is called by this name? What is the legendary story of the Moon The moon has long been a symbol of resurrection in Indian mythology. As per legend, Chandra, the moon-god, was cursed with a wasting disease because he favoured only one of his 27 wives, the lunar constellations or nakshatras. According to another legendary version, he eloped with Tara, the wife of Brihaspati (Jupiter), causing a divine outrage. In both tales, Chandra began to wane and feared he would vanish forever. In desperation, he turned to Lord Shiva for help. It is explained in a Puranic lore that Shiva holds the Ganga in his matted hair and Ganga is the river believed to grant rebirth. 'If Shiva can give the dead another chance at life, he surely can resurrect the waning moon,' writes mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik in one of his essays. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo Shiva appeared before Chandra at Somnath, Gujarat, and placed him in his hair-knot, enabling him to wax again. Since then, the moon has been called Soma, symbolizing regeneration and hope. The Moon has long been associated with empires The symbolism of the Moon also has a place among the warriors. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the 17th-century Maratha king, wore the crescent moon, or chandra-kor, on his forehead. It served as a visual reminder of freedom and resilience. 'It was meant to inspire people never to give up on the idea of freedom (swarajya), to remind all that after the dark night of the new moon, the waxing begins,' writes Pattanaik. The crescent moon is also associated with Islam, seen on the flags of Pakistan and Turkey. But it was not originally a religious symbol but an imperial one, used by the Ottomans after they conquered Byzantium in the 15th century. The crescent represented the founder, Osman's dream of an empire stretching across the world. Moon symbolism goes deeper in Indian lore. Chandragupta Maurya's name, according to Jain tradition, comes from his mother's desire to drink moonlight-infused water. Chanakya fulfilled it by offering the water bathed in moonlight. Why is the Moon called ' Chanda Mama ' Indian kings often traced their lineage to the moon or Soma-vamsa and the sun or Surya-vamsa. The Ramayana is the tale of the solar dynasty, while the Mahabharata follows the lunar. Interestingly, Lord Ram, who belonged to the Solar lineage, is called 'Ram-chandra'. It is that he was fond of the moon. According to Pattanaik, he would not sleep until his mother showed him the reflection of the moon in a pot of water and saw the moon as his mother's brother. That's why, just like Ram, even today we lovingly call the moon Chanda-mama—the dear uncle who visits his sister often, but never stays too long. The name 'maas' is also associated with the Moon Linguists believe the word maas (month) doesn't come from Sanskrit but from the Munda tribes, whose women called the moon maa. So a full moon became poorna-maa, and a new moon, a-maa. Art also immortalizes the moon-god riding a chariot pulled by deer or geese, holding a rabbit or Shasha. As per the Jataka tales, that rabbit was the Buddha in a previous life, who sacrificed himself for a hungry man. The gods rewarded him with a place on the moon, making him Shashank, the rabbit-marked moon.
